Real estate agents affiliated with Crye-Leike in the Chattanooga area were told that "It's a new day" concerning the 2013 real estate market. The company's success in Chattanooga reflects market conditions across all areas where Crye-Leike has offices.

 

Home sales history in Chattanooga from 2000, shows the "high-water mark" came in 2006, and the "bottom of the trough" occurred in 2011, said Harold Crye, CEO and co-founder of the company. The final figures for the year show that 2012 was very good, with sales of $405 million in the Chattanooga area which is the largest increase since 2007.

 

The sale of 2,703 homes closed during the year is 28 percent above those sold in 2011, and far exceeded the goal of a five percent increase that had been set for the year. Company-wide, sales of 28,065 houses produced $4.5 billion in sales volume.

"We've finally turned the corner here in Chattanooga with sales," said Harold Crye, president of Crye-Leike.

 

Last year marked the first actual turnaround for a market that had previously shown no signs of stopping its free fall. The upswing was marked by a 17 percent jump in sales in 2011, as the number of units sold bounced up to a 5-year high of 6,675 homes sold through the Greater Chattanooga Association of Realtors' multiple listing service last year.

 

Total Chattanooga home sales in 2012 peaked above $1 billion for the first time since 2008, growing to $1.1 billion from $886 million the prior year...
