Nesting In Nashville - James & Stephanie Crawford

Last month, half of the single-family homes that sold across Middle Tennessee went under contract within 15 days.

The average was 31.

I pulled thirteen months of RealTracs data to see whether that gap was a fluke. It wasn't. The average has run about double the median every single month, and it never once closed.

Here's the part I didn't expect: the gap was widest in April — the fastest month in the whole stretch. When buyers came back this spring, well-priced homes cut their market time nearly in half. The overpriced ones barely moved at all.

A strong market doesn't rescue a bad price. It just widens the distance between you and the sellers who got the number right.

A lot of people think a reverse mortgage is a 'last resort.' We didn't even know this alternative existed until recently. If your parents are over 62, want to move closer to the grandkids here in Middle Tennessee, but don't want to drain their savings or take on a 7% mortgage, send them this.
