News doesn’t take long to travel in the Fort Smith Real Estate Market!  I had to take the opportunity to give credit to a local title company that shocked me with some great news.  National Closing Corp. in Greenwood is going green with their Closing Documents and Giving Back to community charities!

You know that HUGE stack of papers you have to sign at closing?  Yes, you sign all of them and then you usually get something like a portable filing cabinet of your copies!  Not with National Closing Corp.  You can sign all your documents and your copy are either on Flash Drive or Disk for you!

Get this part!  National Closing Corp. donates a portion of their closing fees to a non-profit community charity that the customer selects, and donates it in the customer’s name!!!

With times being the way they are and donations down to charitable organizations; every little bit helps.  My hat goes off to you National Closing Corp.  Feel fee to contact Nikki Burris with National Closing Corp at 479-996-5806.

Trivia Night with the Fort Smith Board of Realtors has turned out to be a huge success for raising money for Special Olympics.  Last year’s event raised $14,000. 

This year, an amazing $19,000 was raised!!

People got teams together for an evening of fun in support of a great cause; Special Olympics!  Even in a struggling economy, it’s great to see people come out and continue to give freely with their time and money.

Trivia Night is one event the Fort Smith Board of Realtors supports for Special Olympics.  Last year, the FSBOR raised almost $25,000 for the organization, and was one of the largest board contributors in the state!

I am positive we will raise more that $25,000 this year!

The Fort Smith Board of Realtors have raised a lot of money for the Special Olympics, but we know our job is not complete.  We’ve got more events during the year to build upon our current amount.  So many lives have been positively influenced through such efforts.  You can do your part and donate to Special Olympics!

I would really like to thank Brenda Garrett with Bradford and Udouj Realtors!  Brenda takes great ownership as our Chairperson for Special Olympics.  Her passion and commitment is a testament.  “Good People, Can Do Great Things!”  The Fort Smith Board of Realtors could NOT have a better Ambassador for Special Olympics than Brenda Garrett.   Thanks Brenda!!!

The Fort Smith Real Estate Market has had it’s fair share of ups and downs just like any market. Southfield Heights in Fort Smith has stayed relatively steady. It’s important to understand. ALL MARKETS ARE NOT THE SAME. There are area’s around the country and in the state that have taken a sad turn for the worse. The same can apply to different area’s of town.

The average home sold in Southfield Heights over the past 6 months is $159,966. The average sold price per square foot is $91.91 and 135 average days on the market. The average day on the market is pretty consistent for the area.

So if you are selling, be patient, price it right, and your home should sell. I did say, “Price it Right” didn’t I?

Below is a list of homes that are currently on the market and homes that have sold within the previous 6 months.  Those familiar with Southfield Heights are aware the subdivision is less than 5 years old, and all of these homes have a 2 car garage.

Mayor Ray Baker always says, “Life’s Worth Living in Fort Smith, Arkansas!”  Boy, he knows what he’s talking about!  Living just got a little more historic with the recent announcement from Frances McSwain, Arkansas Historic Preservation Program Director.

“Today, Fort Smith is a city of diverse sties, including the May-Lecta-Sweet neighborhood, which has managed to maintain its historic ambience with its tree-lined streets and historic homes,” the National Register nomination says. “The neighborhood has retained its quaintness, charm and architectural character, allowing the district to stand out as an excellent example of early suburban development in Fort Smith.”

The May-Lecta-Sweet Historic District is the second Historic District in Ft. Smith.  The Belle Grove Historic District is one of the most recognized Historic Districts in the state.

The May-Lecta-Sweet Historic District has about 130 “structures” built between 1890 and 1958! The area has maintained it’s historical character through the years, and the different homes have their own unique architectural design.  The entire area is very pleasing to drive through and even better to take an evening stroll.

If you or anyone you know would be interested in more information about homes available within this Historic District, or within the area please feel free to contact me at Ray@RayNellum.com.  Remember, “To Buy or Sell’um, Call Ray Nellum!!!  479-414-1894.
