Holston Hills Subdivision Open House Featuring 22 Homes!

Looking for something enjoyable this Sunday, July 25th?  Join us at the Historic Holston Hills Subdivision Open House.  This multi-home/agent extravaganza features 22 homes that are currently in search of new owners.   If you have ever been curious as to why the Holston Hills area is sometimes considered Knoxville's Best Kept Secret now is a perfect time to find out why.  This subdivision open house features 22 homes of various size and price.

The Holston Hills Subdivision, named after the Holston River that runs adjacent to the subdivision is well know for it historic and elegant architectural structures.  The Holston Hills subdivision is conveniently located off of I-40 interstate and is just a short commute from Downtown Knoxville and the University of Tennessee Campus.  Many of the homes in Holston Hills are situated on large lots (several over 1 acre in size), mature hardwoods, lush landscaping, and of course the infamous dogwood tree (The Knoxville Dogwood Trail runs throughout this neighborhood).

Are you in the need for a large home but, but don't have hundreds of thousands of dollars to spend?

Do you want to live in the West Knoxville area and enjoy the conveniences of West Knoxville living including easy access to interstates, restaurants, parks, churches, schools, West Town Mall, and the infamous Turkey Creek Shopping and Entertainment mecca?

Are you interested in living in the school zone for Knox County's newest and most talked about high school, Hardin Valley Academy?

If you answered yes to any of these questions then we got the home for you!

This beautiful home is new on the market and features 2800 square feet a large level and completely private fenced in backyard. Best of all the price is only $199,900 that breaks down to ONLY $71/square foot, in an area where above $100+/square foot is not uncommon.

Sure this home could use some cosmetic kitchen upgrades (although it is as clean as a whistle), but with a little elbow greece, this huge kitchen area (40 cabinets and tons of counter space) can easily be a showcase kitchen that would be the envy of all your friends and family (not to mention add major equity as up to 95% invested in kitchen upgrades can be reclaimed in resale).

Your home should be your sanctuary, a place to relax, and entertain if so desired. What better place to relax after a hard day's work other than in your own private hot tub located on private decking overlooking a level fully fenced backyard with 6' wood privacy fence surrounded by mature trees, the upper level balcony perfect for reading a nice book or enjoying a drink, the relaxing and cozy sunroom, or perhaps the chalet style living room with soaring ceilings and chalet-like stone fireplace?

This home has it all and is ready to accommodate a large family, those needing separate living space (perhaps a parent, teenager, or those who work at home), or just someone looking for a lot of room to roam.  This large home features 4 bedrooms (3 on the main level) and 3 full bathrooms.

The upstairs has a brand new Master Suite with gleaming hardwood floors, a super large walk-in closet, and huge bathroom with separate standup tiled shower and clawtooth tub.  There is also a large upstairs rec-room with private balcony access.

Take a look for yourself and see in the video just HOW MUCH this home has to offer!

 These statistics show homes located in the Holston Hills/Chilhowee subarea that had a list price of $100,000-$140,000.

Closed Listings- 5 ($120, 920 Avg. List Price / $116,220 Avg. closed price: Avg. Sq feet= 1642, and 1.15 acre lots) = Avg. price/sq foot = $77 / square foot

Current Active Listings- 6

Current Pending Listings- 3

 Absorption Rate:

 The absorption rate is a statistical estimate based on the number of properties actively on the market verses the number of closed properties. This number shows the rate at which the inventories of homes for sale are being sold.  The absorption rate helps determine, based on market trends, how many months it will take to absorb (aka- for homes to sell and close) what is currently on the market.

Absorption Rate for last 6 months = 8.5 months worth of inventory

Absorption Rate based on last month of sales

• 1 Closed properties last month
• 6 Active Listings

Absorption Rate = 6 months worth of inventory

Analysis:

• The housing market in the Chilhowee/Holston Hills area is slightly improving as the absorption rate has decreased some this past month.
• Knoxville, TN historically experiences cyclical season-based selling cycles, with the months of June-September having the highest number of sales.
• First time home buyer tax credit expires November 30 (avg. closing time for FHA is 45 days now) = target date to be under contract is October 15^th

Knoxville, TN has had the tendency to attract lots of visitors and tourists who flock to the area to enjoy the magnificent scenery and visit the multitude of area parks including the Great Smoky Mountains- the most visited National Park in the country.

While the Great Smoky Mountains are great and have a lot to offer sometimes I don't feel like battling all the tourists trying to get up there.  Sometimes, I just get the urge to throw the kids in the car and enjoy the great outdoors instead of fighting through traffic.

Ijams Nature Center located in South Knoxville is a great place to visit.

Inside the visitors center you will find a nature center devoted to education- especially conservation and recycling, fun and interactive nature displays, and even a live animal collection. 

The building is built with sustainability in mind and even the bathrooms are environmentally friendly.

Whether you are looking for just a short nature walk or a day of hiking, you can find it at Ijams Nature Center- the trails are well maintained and it is a great place to get your minds off the stresses of everyday life.
