Realtors and builders are throwing a party to mark the new blood that has returned to the formerly lifeless housing market.

After four years of hawking foreclosures, renovations and resales, real estate agents will open almost 50 new homes to the public in a coming-out celebration spearheaded by the Homebuilders Association of Greater Chattanooga.

“First, we had to get through the existing inventory,” said Teresa Groves, head of the association. “Most of that is gone now, especially the price points of $180,000 to $300,000.”

Gawkers and homebuyers alike can check out the city’s entire inventory of new homes this weekend without making an appointment.
