With all the news on the housing market I thought I'd look at the actual Clarksville statistics from 2007 to 2008 through June.  They are:

# of Homes                                         # of                                   Ave price of

on Market        Decrease                 Closings   Decrease         Homes Sold   Increase            Year

     2760             21   %                       1366               59%             $152K              6.1%               2008

     3487                                                2292                                   $143K                                      2007

The market is taking a correction in Clarksville also.  Several factors are attributable for this:

- 101st Airborne from Ft Campbell is deployed

- Subprime nationwide issue is tightening criteria on obtaining loans

- Energy costs have risen sharply

Even though these statistics ring true--my customer base has rewarded me with a 20% INCREASE in my personal real estate business in the same time period!  If you, your friends or relatives need to buy or sell a home, please contact them and I know I can assist them!
