The media focuses on the national picture. But let’s stop and consider the local picture. The median price (not the average) for existing single family homes has dropped from $196,600 in 2008 to $173,100 in 2010. At the same time the interest rate has dropped from 6.15% to the present low 4's.
If we look at appreciation in Tennessee we see that the 5 year rate is positive at 2.79% and the ten year rate a great 28.06%. So from where I sit it is an unbelievably great time to buy a home in Tennessee. If you already own one, maybe it is time to sell it and move up. Or if not that, maybe to refinance and get a 15 year rate in the low 3's. No you didn’t hear wrong. Give me a call at 777-HOME (4663) or email me at George.Margrave@migonline.com .
