Every city thinks their real estate market is different and in times like the one we are going through that could be true. The national press would have us to believe the sky is falling, houses are free, and all homes are being foreclosed on today. Not true, at least not in Clarksville, TN. June 1, 2008 Clarksville had 1650 homes on the market with 505 new listings coming on in May and 589 homes closing in that month. It's a healthy market anytime that happens, and homes are selling for 98% of the list price. All this is great news, but maybe the best is the 100 average days on the market.
All Real Estate markets are not the same. Clarksville has a solid housing market as does many other cities. The national media needs to STOP!!!! We all know "bad news sells", but I believe they have done an injustice to their viewers with the "Chicken Little" news cast.
