🍂 Something new is happening at Dirt, Deeds & Discussions!

There is a LOT going on around East Tennessee this fall—and we quickly discovered there was far too much to fit into one blog article.

So we decided to build something new.

The East Tennessee Events Calendar is here!

We’ve started filling it with fall festivals, fairs, live music, arts and crafts, Appalachian heritage events, food, storytelling, pumpkin patches, corn mazes, seasonal attractions and some of those smaller community happenings that can be easy to miss.

And this is just the beginning. We’ll continue adding events as we find them, and when fall winds down, we’ll start looking ahead to winter.

Looking for something to do one weekend? Take a look through the calendar—you might discover somewhere new to go, something new to experience, or an event you’ll want to make a tradition.

Tennessee landowners interested in learning more about generating farm income on property they already own or live on are encouraged to attend any of the five upcoming educational webinars from CPA to be held via Zoom beginning in September. The Farming Where You Live webinars will cover a variety of educational topics relevant to Tennessee landowners. The program especially targets small-acreage landowners, beginning farmers, and timber or forest landowners in Tennessee. However, all interested individuals are encouraged to attend.

Detailed information on the Farming Where You Live webinar series, including a list of session topics and speakers, is available online at tiny.utk.edu/CPAEvents.

Knowing that many of our Tennessee landowners are seeking opportunities to generate farm income on property they already own, the purpose of this webinar series is to provide free educational sessions that will help generate new insight or ideas into utilizing existing farm or forest land to its fullest potential.

Sessions are free to attend, but preregistration is required. Interested individuals may register for the Farming Where You Live webinar series online at tiny.utk.edu/FWYL. Note that a valid email address is required to register for the program.

For additional information regarding registration or webinar sessions, contact Alaina Boyd at the UT Center for Profitable Agriculture at [email protected].

What tells you fall has really arrived in East Tennessee?

Maybe it’s the changing leaves. Maybe it’s that first cool morning. Or maybe it’s when the calendar suddenly fills up with fairs, festivals, food, music, pumpkin patches, corn mazes and community traditions.

Fall around here has a way of turning an ordinary weekend into an excuse to get out and explore.

In our latest Dirt, Deeds & Discussions article, we’re talking about the mix of old traditions and newer fall experiences that make this season so much fun—and sharing a first look at something new we’re working on: an East Tennessee Events Calendar designed to help you discover even more of what’s happening around the region.

Is anyone else ready for that first East Tennessee evening when you walk outside and think, “Wait a minute…it actually feels good out here”?

After weeks of heat, humidity, thunderstorms, soggy yards, and watching the sky turn dark yet again, fall still feels a little far away.

The pumpkins may already be appearing in the stores, but summer clearly hasn’t gotten the memo.

Still, porch season is coming.

And sometimes the first sign isn’t changing leaves or a date on the calendar. It’s simply that first morning when the air feels a little different—or the first evening when nobody is quite ready to go back inside.

You type in an address and a home value appears almost instantly.

But where did that number come from?

Zestimates and other automated valuation models can analyze large amounts of property and market data very quickly. But different models may use different information, look at the market differently, and arrive at different estimates.

This Dirt, Deeds & Discussions article takes a plain-language look at AVMs, what can affect the number you see, and how automated estimates fit into the bigger picture alongside CMAs and appraisals.

Sometimes the most useful question isn't, “Which number should I believe?”

It's “What does this model actually know about this property?”
