Breckenridge is located in area 21, which is the northern portion of Murfreesboro TN. It has been one of the most sought after developments in Murfreesboro since it was originally developed. Breckenridge has a unique charm that makes it appealing to individuals and families of all ages. The wide streets, sidewalks, and custom built homes creates a welcoming feeling accompanied by lots of curb appeal.  The lot sizes in Breckenridge are larger than many of the newer developments in Murfreesboro which makes it very appealing for many buyers. Breckenridge is zoned for all three Siegel Schools and the close proximity to the schools makes this neighborhood very convenient for families with school age children. Breckenridge is just minutes to I24 and 840, shopping at The Avenue or Stones River...

Meet Felidae the cat.  Felidae is as unique as his name, which by the way means retractable claws.  Felidae was adopted from our local PAWS shelter and has quickly become a part of our family.  My daughter had asked for a cat for a long, long time.  In fact, it was actually several years!  I have always been a huge dog fan.  But I must admit, being a cat owner and coming home to a litter box every day was just not on my to do list!   But my daughter is so low maintenance and never asks for material things.  She is just a blessing and her one true love at 12 is animals.  So, she persisted in asking for a cat...begging actually.  And in time I relented and agreed that she could get AN OUTSIDE CAT!  She had a friend at school whose cat was having kittens.  We anxiously awaited the arrival ...

  I found an old blog that I wrote in 2006 with market statistics for Breckenridge  in North Murfreesboro.  Breckenridge has always been one of the most popular developments in Murfreesboro because of the convenient location to shopping and dining, zoned all Siegel schools, quick access to I24 and 840, wide streets, large lots, sidewalks, tennis court, and two community pools.     The current housing market has impacted home sales in Murfreesboro and there is no argument that this is a buyer’s market.  However, as these statistics from 2006 compared to today show, our market is down but certainly not devastated like in many parts of the country.  CNN Money Magazine just selected Murfreesboro TN has ranking 20th in the nation for Most Afforable Housing.  Our housing market has always bee...

Both are these homes are available in the same development in North Murfresboro.  One is for sale, and the other for rent.  Both were built in 2005.  The home for sale is approximately 270 square feet larger than the rental home.  Since there is no way to predict what this home would actually sell for after negotiations or determine what concessions the seller might take, I prepared the estimated monthly payment based on FULL list price and even added the taxes and insurance to the monthly note.  I think it is fairly safe to assume that in our current market the home would probably not sell for full list price with no concessions.  The rental property would require a separate insurance policy for the owners contents.  Since this amount would vary greatly, I did not estimate that monthly...

Every day when I look at Murfreesboro TN homes for sale and the real estate market in the Middle Tennessee area, I am blown away by the incredible bargains that are available to buyers.  I have advised my friends and family that if they are considering buying their first home, or are moving up in home value, NOW is the time to buy...at least in my opinion.  Housing prices are at bargain basement prices and the interest rates are at all time lows.  It would seem that we have the perfect storm for home buyers.   Sunday, on CNNs State of the Nation, Shaun Donovan, Secretary to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development agreed with me.  Well, he didn't actually say I agree with Sherri Wellborn that NOW is the time to buy a new home in Murfreesboro TN, BUT he came pretty close.  He...

It seems that in our current market most Realtors are scrambling to find the latest, greatest thing to market their listings and get them sold.  Competition is tough and we are all searching for the hidden key that will unlock the door that leads to a closed sale.  But, I've been reminded that sometimes agents may be so focused on marketing their listings, that they forget the basics of successful sales...communication! I recently went on a listing appointment and presented my marketing plan to the seller.  Their top concern over all the glitz and glamour of virtual tours, mobile marketing, and even youtube videos was plain old fashioned feedback.  Something as simple as communication with other agents and relaying that informationt to the seller was his top priority.  Turns out that he...

Functional or Sloppy Workmanship...As a professional home inspector for the past 11 years, nothing rattles my cage. I think I have seen it all - the good, the bad, the ugly and the sloppy. Which brings me to the point of today's post. Yesterday while in the 'Boro, inspecting a new construction property that looked like who did it and ran, the client was upset by the way the plumbing was run under the vanity. I agreed with them that the job was less than stellar and falls under the category of poor/sloppy workmanship, but as plumbed, the job is within acceptable trade guidelines and is functional. Home inspectors must walk a tenuous tightrope. Although we wear the hat of being a generalist, we have been deemed to be the expert and every word we utter is taken as the gospel. I told the cl...
