Here we grow again!!


  • Not too long ago, the plan for a large new retail complex in Sevierville which will hold 11 new stores including Petsmart, Ulta, Dicks and Hobby Lobby was announced. The construction has been moving at an impressive pace where the old theater on Winfield Dunn Parkway used to be.
  • Last month, Food City officials confirmed they will build a new 46,000-square-foot store on Newport Highway in Sevierville.
  • Today, the Mountain Press reports that a Walmart Neighborhood Market will be built in Sevierville across from Sevier County High School. 





The eastern section of Sevier County (often referred to as New Center) certainly seems to be following the county-wide growth trend we have been observing for some time now. This appears to be the case for our local real estate market as well: we just sold a property in the east Sevier County neighborhood of English Hills in just 11 days!
If you are looking for a little slower pace more typical of other parts of East Tennessee, you’ll pay a little less and have more tranquility in New Center than in the better-known areas in the nearer the center of Sevier county.


The New Center area is a picturesque and pastoral community located east of downtown Sevierville and south of the Douglas Lake area. Exhibiting primarily the rural feel that used to be typical of most all of East Tennessee, the gently rolling hills of New Center were once purely used for farming, and that is what most of the community still reflects.

New Center is now however an attractive residential alternative to Sevierville proper, best suited for primary residences as opposed to vacation rentals. Residents will soon have more convenient grocery shopping options, and this may just be the beginning! For a little more information about the New Center area, please visit our description on our GatlinburgHomes.com website.

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
