May Was Even Better Than I Expected!

With still some more "dust" to settle, May's tally of residential sales in the Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge/Sevierville/Seymour/Kodak and surrounding communities, as reported by the Great Smoky Mountain Association of Realtors, was really strong. In fact, the preliminary number as of this post is already 166 homes, condos, and mobile homes sold by members of our MLS. My revised best guess is that we will likely end up with around 175 sales and that will be strong indeed. Here's my latest summary:

May was indeed another great month, making it now 5 consecutive months of double digit gains!

While nowhere near the torrid pace of 2007, for the 5th month in a row, these are the best results for the month since the record setting 2005-2007 period. I myself have had a great start to the year, with 69 sales as of this writing already for 2012.

Everything You Always Wanted to Know about Smoky Mountain Water Wells but were Afraid to Ask!

Unlike more urban communities, many Smoky Mountain homes still have water supplied by individual underground wells. The fact is that only a relatively small (but ever growing) portion of our area is served by municipal utility water. This is rarely a problem as wells here in the Gatlinburg and surrounding area usually produce clear and good tasting water for significantly less cost than utility water once the one-time expense of drilling the well is covered. In fact, while there are certainly exceptions, our area is known for exceptionally clean and good tasting well water. More than one brand of bottled water is actually drawn from underground sources right here in the Smokies. What can go wrong you ask? Unfortunately, plenty! In those relatively rare cases where a well’s iron or sulfur content causes the water to be unsuitable, a water filtration system can generally be installed to remedy the situation. Water filtration can be as basic as a very inexpensive cotton string filter th

I have had this blog since 2003 but didn't really get serious about regularly writing here until the beginning of 2007. I do truly enjoy the opportunity to share my thoughts about our local Gatlinburg area real estate market including the surrounding communities of Pigeon Forge, Sevierville, Seymour, Kodak, and Cosby. The only problem with writing any type of blog is that you really aren't sure just how many people are reading much less care about what you are pontificating about. If you are reading this blog, regularly or for the very first time, PLEASE comment me. It's easy, painless, and won't leave any sort of mark. In fact, you can even remain totally anonymous but yet let me know that you are out there. Like the age old question of "If a tree falls in the forest with nobody there to hear, does it make a noise?", a blog writer could wonder "If I write something meaningful but nobody reads it, does it matter?". If you like, you can even tel
