Chattanooga Real Estate

The following is the 2009 Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers from the National Association of Realtors.  It is a compilation of the results of 9,138 surveys of buyers and sellers who sold or purchased a home between July 2008 and June 2009.  I will be more interested in seeing the July 2009 and forward to better reflect our current Chattanooga market.           

47% of buyers were first time buyers.        

The median age of all buyers was 39.

Although new tax breaks and great housing prices in Chattanooga, Hixson and Ooltewah make buying a home easier and more cost-effective than ever before, it can still be a daunting task to undertake the path to home ownership. In addition to the stress of moving, you’re probably worrying about things like loan processing fees, down payments, mortgage options, and closing costs. Even with a financial advisor and a realtor at your side, these can add up to quite a bit of hard work!

Thanksgiving found my husband and me looking for an alternative dinner venue. We decided to visit the Delta Queen, Chattanooga’s latest and most unique floating hotel.
The buffet dinner was outstanding, wait staff most attentive, and live music a delight.
How dreary the weather had become, in direct contrast to how warm and inviting the boat was. We arrived a little early for our seating, affording us time to explore the beautiful accommodations and speak with the guests who were staying overnight.The Legendary Delta Queen, the last fully operational, overnight passenger steamboat in the country, is the newest landmark Chattanooga hotel. This grand lady had logged over two million miles, carried over half a million passengers and is the only boat to be inducted into the National Marine Hall of Fame while still in service. She has entertained Presidents, foreign dignitaries and a multitude of celebrities.
