Memphis Realtors open 1,200 homes this weekend for national event - The Commercial Appeal Newspaper
By Tom Bailey Jr.
Posted April 10, 2010 at midnight
The solar system seems aligned for the Realtors' "Nationwide Open House" this weekend: Depressed prices, still-low interest rates, a fast-approaching deadline for homebuyer tax credits, and even sunny skies and temperatures in the mid-70's.
On a typical weekend in the Memphis area, Realtors stage 250-400 open houses. But with the coordinated event, this weekend is hardly typical.
"As of now we have more than 1,200 scheduled for this Saturday and Sunday, and that number has been going up every time I've checked today," said Scott Shearin, spokesman for Memphis Area Association of Realtors.
House hunters can drive around looking for blue balloons that mark homes participating in the sales event.

Sunday, March 28, 2010
By: Tamara Best tbest@timesfreepress.com
Local Realtors say this year looks promising for the Chattanooga housing market with prices for homes starting to rise.
"There's no doubt that we've seen the worst of it," said Jay Bell, owner and agent of Bell Development. "It's not just my hunch. The evidence is there."
Mr. Bell said one of the most significant changes since the housing meltdown of 2009 has been the overall attitude of buyers.
"A year ago, a lot of the offers that we were getting weren't real offers; they were people who were shopping for distressed properties or looking to get a deal that was unrealistic," he said. "Now we are seeing people in the market who are genuine buyers."
Harold Crye, co-founder of Crye-Leike Realtors, said despite improvements, a reduction in the number of foreclosures and...
