If you're craving tacos or a margarita, Chattanooga does not disappoint! Check out our insider's guide to the best Mexican food in the Scenic City. 

Most Authentic

Taqueria Jalisco

1634 Rossville Ave
Chattanooga, TN 37408

Is it bad to sell your home during the holidays? It’s a question we get a lot. 

There is a myth surrounding the idea of listing that sellers should wait until spring to put their home on the market. In reality, this couldn’t be farther from the truth! 

A study by online brokerage Redfin found that on average, sellers net more above asking price during the months of December, January, February and March than they do from June through November. Not only that, but the study found that homes listed in winter sold faster than those posted in the spring! 

Although there are a lot of buyers beginning their search in the spring, there are just as many looking for homes in the winter. But the advantage to listing in winter months is that inventory is…
