One of the cutest things I’ve ever seen is a teeny-tiny baby watermelon. And I grew it!

What did we learn as we shopped the listings with my younger son, William, looking for something sound, yet affordable, in a neighborhood he found appealing?

We hope over the last six months we’ve helped you gain a better understanding of our local real estate market. This month we want to talk about some numbers The Greater Nashville Association of Realtors released recently, and why they’re important.

A KateDavidHomes favorite source of ideas and information about design, architecture, landscaping and other housing-realted topics is the HOUZZ website and weekly e-newsletter.  There’s always something of interest in the photo-filled articles and many are worthy of filing away for future reference. 

We’re happy to report that our days of driving around Nashville — with cookies on board (Tales from the Road, Part 1)— have produced excellent results. We have deals on three properties in the works, and we’re here to report what we’ve learned in the process.

Among other things, we’ve learned that the real estate agency behind your realtor really does matter.
