One of the most pleasant aspects of living in north east TN is that we have four seasons every year. And boy, did we experience that during the past months. After a very dry summer when farm ponds even dried up and pastures became crisp we had a beautiful fall with reds, golds and oranges spicing our area like so many varied peppers in a spicy dish. And now-------------when guys drag out "long handles," I have a reason for wearing the hats that I love, and little guys don't complain about wearing gloves or mittens we are all proclaiming IT'S COLD!!!!!!!!!
Okay, not cold like the hearty folks in Colorado and the Dakotas "enjoy" every year, but 5° will be cold enough for hearty east Tennesseans!
And guess what----I will be showing a house at 9:30 tomorrow morning. Furthermore, it's located on Boone Lake where the winds do blow!
Which brings back a memory--the first out of town buyer to contact me when I was a newbie in 1985 wanted to buy a house for his niece and her husband and would be driving here from Atlanta that weekend to look. I was beside myself with excitement! I even drove home early from the yearly trek at Christmas to be ready for their arrival. Just a couple of problems kept me from perhaps selling a house to these folks. First, a huge snow fell and there was no way I could show them the rural properties that they thought they wanted to see. Second, being a newbie who was overly excited that they chose ME no prequalification was done on the phone. I thought I had a "sugar daddy!" When they learned that for them to buy a house for their niece and her husband they would need much more than the amount they had planned ("Oh, we didn't know this would be an investment loan.") their bubble burst quickly.
So, I know that the market doesn't totally shut down because of cold weather and snow. Just "Button Up Your Overcoat."
