Market Trends Affecting Clarksville, TN Real Estate

Thursday, June 9th, 2011

Welcome Spring 2011! Although never dead, the real estate market in Clarksville, TN is gaining speed in the spring of 2011.

Comparing stats from May 2010 and May 2011 shows the upsurg in sales. It is somewhat striking how close some of the figures are with the notable exceptions of pending and closed listings.

In May 2010, there were 1,822 active listings on an average day. May 2011 shows 1,885 active listings per average day- not much difference. New listings for May 2010 were 420, while the same month in 2011 yielded 467 new listings.

Now, here is the clincher! In May of 2010, there were a total of 501 homes pending and sold. May 2011 resulted in 763 homes pended and closed. This is a 52% increase in sales.

The recent flurry of activity can be traced to several factors, chief among them, the return of the 101 Airborne Division from Afghanistan and the increased employment opportunities in the area due to industrial construction. Most of the quality rentals have been taken off the market by renters,many of  whom are working in the construction of Hemlock Semiconductor.

The 101st Airborne Division Returns Home to Ft. Campbell and Clarksville, TN

Wednesday, March 16th, 2011

The 101st is presently coming home from Afghanistan. This process began shortly before Christmas 2010. New groups of troops have been arriving almost weekly. Not only are they being welcomed home by their friends and family, but by the entire community.

These soldiers are an integral part of our society Many, if not most, live on the economy. They rent, buy, and sell homes; buy cars,insurance, groceries,home improvement supplies,and contribute to all other areas of commerce.

They are members of churches and civic organizations in our community of Clarksville. Their children attend public and private schools in this community or on post at Ft. Campbell. As such, they are important members of academic, sports, music, theater, and arts programs.

It is no coincidence that since the return of the 101st, our real estate market has begun to surge. Rentals and home sales have risen significantly in the past three months.

It is my pleasure to be in a position of service to those who have given so much. In reality, I am a service provider, not a sales person.

I have lived in Clarksville since 1971. Most of that time I taught and coached in area schools including Clarksville and Ft. Campbell. Since 2007, I have been a Realtor with Prudential Professionals Realty in Clarksville. I have developed a great respect for the contributions made by the 101st Airborne to or community, state, nation, and world.
