The Tennesseean reported last week that, in Nashville, “Downtown Stands Up to Downturn”.
Many homes are retaining their value in downtown areas of Nashville and Franklin. Local realtors are seeing downtown homes, particularly historical homes, moving more quickly. One realtor claimed “Values are still strong because downtown has no rival”, as downtown has a unique charm, and is within close proximity to restaurants and entertainment.
Currently, there is plenty of housing inventory downtown. Many agree that prices had inflated even before the housing crisis. In 2006 and 2007, downtown Franklin homes were commanding as much as $325 per square foot. While the market for $1 million homes and above has diminished, historic homes are still hot commodities. Historic properties are priced higher per square foot, due to the fact that they cannot be rebuilt.
While Downtown Nashville properties have had prices reduced, they have not been discounted by the same percentages as in other areas. Realtors are encouraged, telling clients that the market will change, but sellers need to have patience.

Property Assessments Move up in Nashville
According to The Tennesseean, recent property assessments have created a bit of controversy.
Metro reappraisals have indicated that property values are either high, or have gone up too much. However, the Davidson County property assessor spoke about the countywide reappraisal and has stated that while there may be higher taxes for many, the values estimated by the property appraisers office were 16% higher than in 2005.
The tax hike has surprised many local property owners, even though the prices are mostly exclusive to the center of the city. In areas like East Nashville, MetroCenter, Hillsboro Village, Berry Hill, and Belle Meade residents have seen property value increases. The president of Historic Edgefield claims that he is in support of the new appraisals, due to the fact that they indicate that ‘everybody wants to live in East Nashville'. Despite the recession, areas like Germantown and Sylvan Park – in the center of the city – have grown significantly in the past several years.
If unsatisfied, owners are able to ask for a review of their appraisals, if they believe them to be unrealistic.

Nashville Moves New Residents to Zoo
The Nashville Zoo has announced that on Friday, March 20th, two giant anteaters will make their move to the Nashville Zoo. The new anteaters will join a herd of zebras that relocated to the Zoo on March 6th and two white tiger cubs that made their move on March 13th.
The newest Nashville residents will be living in the former African wild dog habitat until the weather changes. Once it cools down, the anteaters will be moved into a new South American exhibit that will feature the anteaters, jaguars, otters, storks and howler monkeys.
Nashville Zoo President, Rick Schwartz, was quoted by the Tennessean as saying, “Giant anteater conservation has been a priority at Nashville Zoo for the past 11 years…Only about 5,000 giant anteaters are left in the wild, and we are tirelessly working to increase that number and ensure the species’ survival”.
There are an additional seven anteaters that are located off-site in a “state-of-the-art breeding facility” that gathers a multitude of species information that will help the Zoo understand breeding habits of the animals. The Nashville Zoo is one of few institutions that have been accredited with the “Association of Zoos and Aquariums” label indicating that the Zoo has attained the highest standards of animal care. The Mission of the Nashville Zoo is to “inspire a culture of understanding and discovery of our natural world through conservation, innovation and leadership”.

TN Reports Move in Jobless Claims
The Tennessean reported today that the job loss in Tennessee has slowed in comparison to the rest of the country.
1,700 fewer people applied for unemployment benefits for the week of February 7th, according to the Department of Labor. According to the Director of Business & Economic Research Center at Middle Tennessee State University, “If you’re looking for good news, this is good news.”
The Nashville area and Tennessee are fairing better than most states, as U.S. jobless claims are the highest they have been since the early 1980s. Many are waiting to assess what the $787 billion economic stimulus package will do for the local Nashville, Brentwood, and Franklin areas. As the housing market continues to deteriorate and low business confidence looms, experts are predicting that it will be late in the year before the stimulus package takes effect.
Due to the comparable resiliency of Tennessee, it is expected that many will be moving to the state in the future. Moving to Middle TN or Nashville? Contact All My Sons to help you with your move!
