We all love good news and home sales in the Memphis real estate market continue to bring good news.

.

Homes sales in the Memphis area for March 2015 totaled 1270 units, which is up 5.1% from March 2014.  Buyers and seller seem to be optimistic about the Memphis real estate market and it is showing.  Many times home owners are receiving multiple offers within the first week of going on the market. It goes without saying these are the homes that have gone on the market in optimal condition (all repairs are done, de-cluttering and staging complete).  The Certified Pre-Owned Marketing Program offered by Suzanne White with Keller Williams Realty places the seller in the driver’s seat to get the most money with the least amount of stress when selling a home.

The city of Arlington had a 121% increase in home sales! There were 84 homes sold in Arlington through the end of March for 2015 and only 38 homes sold through the same time period in 2014.  The average sales price has also increased 9.9% to $231,081.  Of the 84 homes sold YTD, 14 homes have been new construction.

Even with what the numbers showing an increase in prices in the Memphis real estate market, a marketing and selling strategy needs to be in place for sellers to optimize selling a home.  Find out how much your home value has increased here and then talk to Suzanne White with Keller Williams about her unique marketing plan – Certified Pre Owned.

What the seller says:

The things I love about my town are… everything is close by: schools, shopping, dining, entertainment, etc. There is a hometown-community feel with festivals, activities, and sports.We love to eat at a couple of different local Mexican restaurants such as El Mezcal and La Hacienda nearby, as well as some more quaint dining rooms such as Cafe Fontana in the Cordova the Town district, and Villa Castriati. We can grab a cupcake at Cocoa Van Cupcake Bakery or have the best ice cream in the city at La Michoacana.Grocery stores are nearby and updated to offer a pleasant, roomy shopping experience, and a wide selection of organic products and local produce. An International Farmer’s Market is open year-round on Germantown Parkway, where you can find all manner of produce, fish, meats, and other foods. There is also a Farmers Market at the Agricenter, to get fresh, local goods on certain Saturdays.

When we bought the property we were drawn to the beautiful, mature trees and serene setting of the lake. The streets and coves are slightly hilly and all the homes are uniquely built, no two are the same. Especially in the fall when the trees are turning colors, the neighborhood looks like a painting. Our backyard is covered in trees and sitting on the deck looking over the yard makes you feel like you are on vacation at the lake.  Our area is wonderful for families as there are several playgrounds at different points around the lake, and the lake itself, where they can fish, boat, swim, or just roll and sled down the dam. It is also perfect for those who prefer a more tranquil setting as you can take a leisurely stroll through the shaded streets, sit at the lake and watch the geese.

We enjoyed being able to walk to the lake and picnic, fish, and paddleboat. Of course we also took advantage of all the nearby

activities such as the movie theater, bowling lanes, skating rink, and all the activities at the Agricenter such as rodeos, fairs, circuses, farmers markets, etc. The mall is about 10-15 minutes away and offers every type of shopping imaginable in that area.

Our home consistently used less energy than most of the similar homes in our area according to the Memphis Light Gas & Water webpage. We believe this is largely due to the fact that our home receives a lot of natural light, and is shaded by mature trees in the summer.
