🔥 Market Insight (What I’m Seeing Right Now)

We’re officially in the spring market push:

Have noticed a very interesting tactic sellers are beggining to do. Coming soons and listing it lower than its worth. What this is doing is creating more of a demand and urgency with listings. Give me a call so we can discuss.

✨ Just Listed — Fresh Inventory
New homes are continuing to hit the market as we move deeper into spring. More options are opening up — but the best homes are still getting attention quickly.

If you’re looking for something outdoors that still feels a little under the radar — this is it 👀

Greenway Farms in Hixson is one of those spots that locals know… but not enough people take advantage of.

What makes it worth checking out:

✔️ Miles of scenic walking + biking trails
✔️ Wide open green space (perfect for kids, dogs, or just relaxing)
✔️ River access + peaceful nature views
✔️ Disc golf course for something different

It’s the kind of place you can spend an hour… or an entire afternoon without realizing it.

💡 Why It’s a Great Pick Right Now
With spring weather rolling in, this is one of the best low-key spots to get outside without dealing with the crowds you’ll find at places like Coolidge Park or Point Park.

Thanks for spending a few minutes of your Monday Evening with me. Hope you have an amazing week!
