I hope you all had a chance to enjoy yourselves over the long weekend. It looks as though there were a lot of people moving into new homes this week since we recorded 199 property transfers and 329 mortgage loans.
The 199 property transfers totaled $64.37 million with the highest commercial transfer being $5.09 million. This large transfer was between ARCP WG Knoxville (Chapman) TN LLC and MDC Costal 11 LLC for the Walgreens property on Chapman Highway. The second-largest transfer was for $2.65 million between Arrowdoor at Castle Terrace LLC and 4121 Whistler’s Way LLC for the Castle Terrace Apartments located just off Dutch Valley Road in North Knoxville.
