Montgomery Cove And Mallard Bay How Are The Prices?
November 17th, 2011 categories: Buyers, General, Market Trends, Sellers, West Knoxville Neighborhoods
I recently was on an appointment in Montgomery Cove with one of my clients who is trying to decide on whether they want to sell their current home and move or just refinance. Montgomery Cove and Mallard Bay are two similar waterfront communities in the Farragut area in West Knoxville. What you have to be careful of when pricing a home for a seller is comparing apples with apples. You have some very large waterfront homes that sell for over one million dollars then you have homes on the interior lots. Many of the interior lot homes do have basements which can add a great deal of sq. ft to these homes. So you just need to analysis the comparable homes that have sold in the last year to really determine the value of the home you will be selling.
I always go back a couple of years to try and determine trends that are occurring in the Farragut market. Are homes prices falling, stable , how long is it taking to sell etc so I can better advise a client on pricing.

For someone wanting to sell their West Knoxville home in today’s market, there are many things to consider. Here are a few questions to ask yourself if you are considering selling your West Knoxville home:
- Am I okay with being a seller in a buyer’s market?
