I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. It was a real treat getting to spend time with family and friends this year, very different from last Thanksgiving.
The work week was shortened by two days, but even in the three full days, we recorded 1,359 documents. Of those, 223 were property transfers that had a combined value of $93.64 million, and 367 of those were loans valued at $134.68 million.
As for the million-dollar plus property sales, we recorded 15, seven of which were commercial properties. The highest value transfer recorded was $5 million. This was the sale of 9.5 acres of currently undeveloped property in the Northshore Town Center, located at the corner of Boardwalk and Town Center Blvd. Northshore Market Investors LLC sold this valuable property to ASR Northshore TC 1 LLC. I’ve included this visual from Google Maps for you.

The second highest property transfer was for nine lots in the Windermere Trails subdivision off Hardin Valley Road. HV West LLC sold these lots to Hardin Valley LLC for $4.08 million. The third highest value sale is also located in Hardin Valley. Hardin Valley Farm Development Inc. sold 30 lots in the Hayden Farms Subdivision on Sam Lee Road to Clayton Properties Group Inc. for $2.06 million. We sure have seen a lot of growth in the Hardin Valley area this year!

As you can see from the three-year comparison chart below, real estate sales are still going strong. The interest rates remain low so if you haven’t yet checked into refinancing your current loan at a lower rate, there is still time.
Have a great week everyone! And don’t forget, we are on Facebook! Just go here, then please like and follow our page.
