Nashville ranked among most hipster-friendly by ‘Travel and Leisure’

Nashville is one of the top locations for hipsters to gather, according to a recent ranking by Travel &amp; Leisure. But the ways of the hipster are elusive. So here's a guide to hipster spotting.<br>Hipsters can be found in <b>Bar No. 308</b>, a favorite local watering spot.

Places such as Grimey’s New & Preloved music on Eighth Avenue in Nashville are known to be a place to see Nashville’s hipsters. / File / The Tennessean
This story is totally unhip.

Hipsters would never write about how hip they are. Most hipsters even complain about other hipsters because hipsters are so hip they can’t even stand to be classified as hipsters.

But guess what, Nashville? We’re hip. Or so we hear.

Travel and Leisure recently listed Nashville among America’s Best Cities for Hipsters. We’re ranked with bike-riding, food-truck-eating, microbrew-beer-drinking havens such as Seattle; Austin, Texas; and Portland, Ore. Other factors that landed Nashville with hipster crowds are “live music, coffee bars and independent boutiques … and the most offbeat and tech-savvy locals.”

Travel and Leisure acknowledged that the debated “hipster” term can inspire both eye rolls and admiration. Hipsters, they say, can have a smirking attitude toward mainstream institutions.

So where, exactly, can we expect to spot hipsters in Nashville? Hard to say, really, because once a place gets the hipster label, real hipsters are likely to skulk off to newer, hipper locales.

“From a hipster perspective,” said Richard Lloyd, an associate professor of sociology at Vanderbilt University, “the only thing worse than being on a list like this is not being on it.”

So maybe it’s good that we’re ranked 19th out of 20. We’re hip, just not that hip.

And that’s cool — or whatever.

East Nashville Homes: Neighborhood Spotlight: Inglewood!

Finding the right neighborhood is important. Especially when you are relocating from out-of-state or even if you are moving from across town. I am going to start highlighting different neighborhoods throughout East Nashville and Nashville every month and this month I am starting with my neighborhood which is Inglewood.

Inglewood is located in East Nashville and is lovingly called the “37216 ” as opposed to the “37206″ which is the zip code that the majority of East Nashville resides. Nestled along the Cumberland River, Inglewood is cool, quaint and hip. I love living here because I feel I get the best of both worlds. I get the convenience  of living in the city without being right in the mix of things. I love having a big yard and a drive way which is harder to find the closer you get to downtown.

Inglewood is growing. New construction and new businesses are continuing to make this community a sought after place to call home. Riverside Village, home to some of East Nashville’s hot spots and a pioneer on the urban development front, is located in the heart of Inglewood and houses Mitchell’s Deli, Sip Coffee Shop, Watanabee Sushi Bar, Castrillos Pizza, Riverside Pharmacy and a Hair Salon. One of my favorite places to hang out, Village Pub, is located a short walk from Riverside Village.

Housing in East Nashville varies from every price range to every style. You can find a fixer up for under $100,000 to a grand home on the river front for over $350,ooo and everything in between. Styles range from classic ranch style homes, elegant stone tudors, arts and crafts bungalows to log cabins..yes, log cabins. There really is a lot of diversity here.

The one thing I love the most is the people. Whether you are from here or recently transplanted, you feel at home immediately. East Nashville has that community spirit going on and it is clear when you visit. We are proud of our neighborhood and we are friendly..I think.

East Nashville Homes: March 2012 Market Update, Homes Spending Less Time On Market!

March was a great month for the East Nashville housing market. With 87 homes that closed the average ” Days on the market ” were 67 days which we have not seen in a while. The average ” close price to list price ” meaning what the home actually sold for vs. what it was listed for was 99.100% which is not surprising as we are entering a market where we are seeing multiple offers on homes again.

April is starting off with a bang as well.  So what do these numbers mean to home sellers and buyers? For home sellers, if you are thinking of selling, you should consider timing and now is the time. I still believe sellers need to put their best foot forward as it is likely as Spring and early Summer progress, the market could see an influx of homes hitting the market.

For home buyers shopping this Spring, come prepared. Be pre-approved with a lender, I highly recommend working with an experienced buyer’s agent, one who is familiar with the neighborhood you are interested in. Be ready to move on a home and especially in hot neighborhoods like East Nashville where a home can literally go to contract in a day. I have seen this, just this week.

East Nashville Homes: Buyer’s Market vs. Seller’s Market : Where Are We.

A seller’s market vs. a buyer’s market is something we hear a lot in the media, from real estate professionals and everyone with an opinion about the real estate market. So what exactly determines which one we are in and which are WE in?

I try not to use either of these terms to loosely because I feel that they can easily be misinterpreted. traditionally what happens when there are more qualified home buyers in the market shopping for homes and less inventory of homes in a particular market for those buyers, you have what ” experts ” like to refer to as a ” sellers ” market meaning that ” sellers ” can find themselves in a place where they have multiple offers to choose from and their homes may be spending less time on the market. I need to mention that there are factors to consider here such as the neighborhood, location, condition of home, type of home, price of home and number of bedrooms /baths and square footage. In East Nashville, for example, we are finding a shortage of inventory and I have been in two multiple offer situations this week. Homes do seem to be spending less time on the market.

A ” buyer’s market takes place when we have fewer qualified home buyers in the market and a lot of inventory on the market ( typically more than 6 months worth of inventory ) which then puts home buyer’s in a more favorable position.
