Home sales, prices pick up in Chattanooga

[CMF Newsman]

Home sales are heating up with the weather this year, pushing the totals so far this year to their best start in five years.

Chattanooga area Realtors sold 442 houses during February, up nearly 22 percent over the same month a year ago and 35.2 percent above the sales volume in January.

"This growth in sales, in comparison to last year, was in line with the number of pending transactions that we've seen since the first of the year," Mark Hite, president of the Greater Chattanooga Association of Realtors, said in a statement Wednesday.

February's median home price in Chattanooga was $124,450, or 3.7 percent more than in the same month a year ago.

BULL SNOT

There's fifty or more houses for sale within a mile of me, all similarly situated, and not a WHIFF of buyers.

The Realtor's Association engages in more wishful thinking than the 'legalize drugs' crowd.

Considering they get their numbers for actual confirmed sales of homes, I have to side with them instead of someone who apparently lives in a very undesirable neighborhood.

Throw a rock UP the hill, and you'll hit ME.
Also, I'd appreciate you forgoing the thong while sunbathing; it upsets the cockatoo.
