Nashville Real Estate  - I was doing a walk through in Nashville last week, and the customer brought a family member who had just bought another home in the area. They were amazed at the quality and the price, and the lady turned to her husband and asked "why didn't we see this house before we bought ours".

It seems that they had decided to not bother with getting the help of a real estate agent who knows the area, Instead, they decided to look around themselves, and ended up buying a home from an on-site agent. The Nashville home they bought was smaller, with cheaper materials (carpet, cabinets, light fixtures), the location wasn't as good, and it cost more than the home that my client bought.

My client told me later that they were very unhappy about what they had done, and unfortunately the husband is catching the blame. OUCH

If you are looking for Nasville real estate, hire a realtor to look out for your interests, or your household may have a lot of stress.

West Nashville Condo Sales - December 2009  With auction and great deals going on, Nashville condo’s have been getting a lot of attention in the media. The fact is that great deals are still available, and a lot of good units are available. The statistics I’m using here are for the downtown area primarily on the west side of Nashville. Condo prices are all about location, so make sure you know what you are buying, and the safest thing is to have a knowledgeable realtor who knows the market

.

Nashville Condo sales for December 2009

• 70 Condo’s were sold in December compared to 35 in December of 2008.
• The average price of Condo’s sold in Nashville was $238,915 compared to $209,478 in 2008.
• The average size of Nashville condo’s sold was 1255 square ft compared to 1390 square ft in 2008
• The absorption rate for Nashville condo’s based on December sales and available inventory is 9.4 months

My analysis is that the auctions and media exposure created a lot of activity in December that will probably not continue into early 2010, however prices on Nashville condos haven’t been this low in many years, and if the lifestyle is attractive to you, now may be the best time you will ever see to buy a Nashville condo.

It’s a great time to buy a condo in Nashville with exceptionally low prices and tax credits available for some move up buyers and first time home buyers.

Yesterday I blogged about Google's heroic stand against China's censorship of the web and apparent massive espionage efforts to spy on Human Rights advocates:  Enough's enough, Google threatens to pull the plug in China

Today an equally heroic gesture has been made in solidarity with Google by Yahoo.  In a statement Wednesday, Yahoo said it's "aligned" with Google's reaction to the hacking that originated within China.

Yahoo's stake in China is much more significant to Yahoo as an asset then goole.cn is to Google, and that is very substantial.  Yahoo retains a 39 percent stake in Alibaba that represents one of Yahoo's most valuable assets.

Alibaba.comoperates two key online marketplaces, an international marketplace and a China marketplace. The company's English-language international marketplace (www.alibaba.com) serves to bring together global importers and exporters from more than 240 countries and regions. The China marketplace (www.alibaba.com.cn) is focused on facilitating domestic trade within China. The company also operates a Japanese-language marketplace facilitating trade to and from Japan through an associated company.

The company claims that together the two marketplaces have more than 45 million registered users - 10.5 million in the international marketplace and 34.8 million in the China marketplace.  As of mid-2009, Alibaba.com had more than 9,000 employees - the vast majority of whom are based in China.

The stakes are now very high and when you throw in the US governments officially announced support for the actions of Google this is turning into a very big deal, the kind of thing that can spiral out of control or actually cause real change.
