NASHVILLE, Tenn. - While still down, Middle Tennessee's real estate market fared better than larger cities during the recession.

 

According to the Case-Shiller home price index, home prices are back where they were in 2003 nationwide and over the last year, home values in 20 of the country's largest cities grew 1.7%.

 

The bad news is that in 15 of those 20 cities, prices dropped between July and August of this year.

 

In Nashville that's not necessarily true, according to local realtors like Becky Meagher with Crye-Leike.

 

"Ours has been much more [in the] middle of the road," Meagher explained.

 

"If you look in areas like Las Vegas, they have had tremendous growth up and then down," she continued.

 

In Middle Tennessee, according to Meagher, home values are dep...

NASHVILLE, TN., - Crye-Leike's Lifetime #1 Agent for Middle Tennessee has earned another great title to add to her 32 year real estate career. Mt. Juliet Realtor Margaret Dixon was recently named "Realtor of the Year" by the Tennessee Association of Realtors.

 

"Being awarded as the TAR "REALTOR of the Year" for 2010 means so much to me," said Dixon. "It is an honor that has been given to me and it's definitely a high-light in my career. It is very humbling to think that I would be chosen out of so many other very deserving REALTORS."

 

For the past 32 years, Dixon has enjoyed helping hundreds of buyers and sellers find that perfect place to call home in and around Middle Tennessee. She specializes in assisting clients primarily in Davidson and Wilson counties.

SMYRNA, TN., - Realtors in Crye-Leike's Smyrna office are continuing their tradition of hosting a chili cook-off fundraiser this fall. This will be their seventh year to organize the event and proceeds from the luncheon will benefit the Dr. Snyder Foundation.

 

"Dr. Snyder has graciously participated as a judge in our chili cook-offs over the last few years," said Crye-Leike Agent Debbie Michaelson. "All of the money raised from this year's chili cook-off will go to the "Cops and Kids for Christmas" program which is a benefactor of Dr. Snyder's foundation. Our agents felt that this program is a very deserving recipient of the large fund we hope to raise this year."

 

Agents from the office will be dusting off their cook-books and preparing their best chili recipes in hopes of winning the honor as ?Best Chili Cook' and in hopes of helping raise lots of money for the "Cops and Kids for Christmas" program.

COLUMBIA, Tenn. ? A lifelong love for Halloween has led real estate agent David Miller into a scary sideline.

 

When he isn't selling houses in the Spring Hill area, he runs a growing enterprise called Miller's Thrillers that produces a Halloween experience venue, The Haunted Woods, at a farm in Maury County.

 

Starting tonight, The Haunted Woods will be open to fright-seekers for "showings" 7-11 p.m. on all Friday and Saturday nights in October. The attraction also will be open on two Sundays, Oct. 24 and 31.

 

Although The Haunted Woods is only in its third year, it has established a following.

Miller says last year's Haunted Woods drew 2,900 customers and he expects to top that number in 2010.
