Emergency Earthquake Gas Meter Shut Off Tool [The Seismic Wrench]

August 15, 2016 By Ken Guthrie Leave a Comment

As everyone knows, there are a lot of earthquakes in California. Somewhere around 3 or 4 a year cause damage. Sometimes a lot of damage. One way they can be very destructive is through fire. That’s what really leveled San Francisco in the great 1906 earthquake. Fire is still a concern, but nowadays it’s primarily […]

Your Credit Score – More Important Than Just For Mortgages

August 15, 2016 By Ken Guthrie Leave a Comment

That depends on what you – or your children – are shopping for, applying for or doing online. Just because you aren’t currently trying to get a mortgage or […]

Help for Condo Buyers Is Half Way There

June 20, 2016 By Ken Guthrie Leave a Comment

Did you know that many first time home buyers and retirees seek to buy condominiums as a solution to more affordable home ownership? They do. Did you know that condominiums make up about 9% of U.S. home sales? How about FHA insuring a really huge percentage of U.S. home sales? I bet you knew that […]

🏡 Good People, Great Homes!

The 3 Questions Every Buyer Should Ask Before Fall The 3 Questions Every Buyer Should Ask Before Falling in Love With a HomeIt’s easy to get emotionally attached to a home fast — especially when it photographs well and checks your first few boxes.
Before you fall in love, ask yourself these three questions:
1. Does this home actually fit my daily life?
Think commute, storage, layout, parking, and how you’ll use the space.
2. Can I comfortably afford more than just the purchase price?
Look beyond the mortgage and think about utilities, insurance, taxes, maintenance, and moving costs.
3. Am I excited about the home — or just reacting to the pressure of the market?
A competitive market can push buyers to move emotionally instead of strategically.
The right home should make sense on paper and in real life.
A little pause up front can save a lot of regret later.

📬 May 2026 Real Estate Market Report for Dandridge 📬 May 2026 Real Estate Market Report for Dandridge, TN 37725⁣
⁣
May 2026 showed a market in thoughtful transition across Dandridge and Jefferson County. After the frenetic pace of the past few years, buyers and sellers are finding a more measured rhythm — one that still favors well-priced, well-presented homes, but rewards patience for those navigating the process. ⁣
⁣
The median sale price held steady at $369,000, reflecting continued demand for Dandridge’s unique blend of lakeside lifestyle, mountain views, and small-town charm — all at a relative value compared to Knoxville and surrounding metro areas.⁣
