The home buyer tax credit brought out buyers, boosting the market. The incentive is now over, but demand is still up due to historically low interest rates.
While we can't predict how long the interest rate will stay below 5%, the lowest average since 1971, this latest incentive could help the housing market step toward recovery and help more families have a place to call home.
Lock boxes are on doors, the open house sign possibly points to your next home and realtors say the housing market has returned to a buyers market.
Karla Martin is a sales associate for Crye-Leike. She explains, "Interest rates are so incredibly low, they're under five-percent right now which...
LITTLE ROCK, AR., - After being in the real estate profession for 15 years, Broker Jennifer Choate knows when it's the right time to make a move.
Jennifer recently decided that making a move to Crye-Leike, REALTORS Kanis Road Sales Office and Corporate Headquarters in Little Rock was the best thing for her and her clients.
"After working with another real estate firm for only a few months, I decided it was better for me to return to Crye-Leike who I was associated with for many years," said Jennifer. "After leaving Crye-Leike for a short time, I missed the organized office and the team feeling that I loved at the Kanis Branch. The staff makes my job as a Realtor so easy and I enjoy working with the office manager Johnny McKay who is a great Broker to work for."
Being an Arkansas native, Jennifer enjoys helping people buy or sell their home in the state she has always called home. She was born in rais...
NASHVILLE, TN., - The job success of every Realtor ultimately comes down to a client packing up and moving. It's an event those who've been in the business a while have seen hundreds of times over. That's definitely the case for Middle Tennessee Realtor Dan Thomas Harper.
"I've been in the commercial farm and residential real estate business for more than 30 years," said Harper. "So you could say I've helped out with a considerable number of moving experiences. Thankfully, most of them have gone very smoothly."
This summer it's Harper who's making the move. The veteran of home & farm sales is uprooting his real estate business from his home farm outside Sango near Clarksville for ?city living' in Nashville's Sylvan Park community.
"I'm building a new authentic family style bungalow home in Sylvan Park near my own residence there," said Harper. "So I'm transferring to the Crye-Leike Green Hills offi...
BENTON, AR., - Making homes as beautiful as they can be has long been a passion for Crye-Leike Benton Realtor Angela Best. Her experience as a Landscape Designer has taught her an attention to detail that can sometimes get overlooked in the business of buying and selling real estate.
"As much as we all want our living spaces inside our homes to bring us great comfort, it's just as important to make the great outdoors around us enjoyable too," said Angela. "Backyards in particular are spaces more and more homeowners and home buyers are investing in to get more out of their homes - especially when the weather warms up."
As the newest member of the sales team at Crye-Leike Benton, Realtor Angela Best sees how her background in landscaping can bring a unique focus to her real estate clients.
"Many people honestly don't consider landscaping as important of a feature in a home purchase as say the flooring...
CLARKSVILLE, TN., - When planning for retirement most individuals and couples look primarily to savings, investments and perhaps a pension to carry them through the golden years. With the future more uncertain than ever these days - more and more people are considering a second or ?next' career to carry them through financially after retirement age.
Recently licensed real estate agent Kitty Kimbro says she and her husband Sam - who is now seven years away from a retirement from the Nashville and Eastern Railroad in Lebanon - see their post-retirement future in home sales.
"Sam and I both decided we would like to be in the real estate field when he retires from the railroad," said Kitty. "We both enjoy working with people and feel that this field would provide us with not only a means of support but a way of making a difference in people's lives as well."
Kitty came to settle on launching her new care...
