On Ski Mountain Road, about halfway up at the intersection of Skim Mountain and Wiley Oakley (and incidentally right across the street from my office!) is the Chalet Village Market-- this is one of the few places to grab a sandwich, pizza, and various libations before heading up to your cabin!  Our staff at Century-21 are great fans of the subs!!

Chalet Village is one of the very first resort areas in the Gatlinburg area, with some oroginal cabins dating to the 1950's!  This community, snuggled into the mountains with the National Park on 3 sides, boasts large lots with mature trees and some of the premier views in the area-- probably 'cause them that got there first got first pick!  Over the years the community has matured into a mix of rental cabins, second homes and permanent residences. There is a Home Owners Association, and membership includes use of 2 Chalet Village Homeowner's Association Club Houses and swimming pools-- a great perk for summer guests.  And... the monthly fees are about $30, making it one of the best values around!  Click Here for more information on the Owners Club! The original Village has some of the ...

Well, as we Tennesseans start every sentence. I just had the most trying experience with one of the banks we are "lending" money to and a bank that must just be plain dumb about business.I had not one, not two, but three contracts on one single vacation home in Gatlinburg with unbelievable views of the great Smoky Mountains and views of downtown Gatlinburg.This was a short sale and I wrote one of these in January and one in February and received one in February from another agent. The first two buyers backed out from the fact that these two banks could not give me an answer in two months. Then after they backed out I got another contract on this vacation cabin and still the banks can't give me an answer. Now I have this buyer backing out.What in the world is wrong with this picture. Thi...

 Hi everyone,It is a great day in Gatlinburg and the Great Smoky Mountain National Park area. We had the prettiest snow fall on Sunday March 1st and it has hung on the trees and looks beautiful just like a postcard.I was showing property in the Chalet Village Resort area on Monday and the mountains were breathtaking! The cabin I was showing had big views of the National Park and Mt.LeConte.You could certainly see the mountains perfectly with an unusually clear day.. Not a lot a traffic either in Pigeon Forge or Sevierville. Also from the Douglas Lake side of the mountains as a backdrop it was like looking at a 3-dimensional post card.I hope you all can get to Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge and enjoy this beautiful time of the year. Right before spring. Have a great week,Delores A. White, R...

I'm very excited about the new $7,500 tax credit being offered as an incentive for first time home buyers. I'm equally excited about the definition of a first time home buyer by the federal government (anyone who has not owned a home in the past 3 years). Pretty cool huh? Even though our market doesn't have as many first time home buyers, being that we sell lots of investment property and second homes, I fully expect this incentive will get some of our customers off the fence and into their new home. NAHB has a web site detailing some of the tax credit rules, www.federalhousingtaxcredit.com.
