September’s residential real estate sales for our Smoky Mountain area are in and so far they don’t look good. As always however, the final number of Gatlinburg area real estate sales reported will eventually be much higher. In fact, initially last month’s tally seemed like it would fall FAR short of last year’s total. A month later the total for August 2014 is within just a few ticks from what it was in 2013 and that was a very good month indeed (the best in all of 2013). While we always like it when we are ahead of the previous year’s total, this isn’t as bad as it looks. That’s a good thing, because actually the preliminary number is as low a total as we have had all year. Don’t fret however fans, the total will certainly come up a good bit, even though I seriously doubt that we will come anywhere close to where we were last year…
