We spoke to Patty Carter from Zeitlin Realty about why Williamson County has seen such growth this year.
“I think there are multiple factors that go into the expansive growth in real estate for Williamson County.
1. Consumers are getting their confidence back after the downturn of the economy.
2. Williamson County’s economy has seen tremendous growth with new jobs coming to the area
3. Lifestyle factor for buyers are important which includes: strong school system in Williamson County, all of the parks and green space, and our sports teams. ”

Homes are selling at a fast pace with only an average of 57 days on the  market.
However, even though this is a booming market, there are things to consider when putting your home on the market. Carter gave us some tips for buyers interested in selling their home.
1. It’s never been more important to have your home move in ready. Buyers are very selective and are willing to pay more for a home that requires little to no repair work.
2. Be prepared for the inspection. We have not seen a home that didn’t come back with some repairs needed from the inspection. Plan for those expenditures.
3. Price your property well. Consumers have access to the selling prices in your neighborhood, so don’t think with a hot market, you can overprice your home. Even in a hot market, if your home is priced incorrectly, it will not sell.
