Latest Memphis Real Estate News

Conventional wisdom would suggest that in 2024, Memphis’s most expensive homes would linger on the market while affordable starter homes attract multiple offers. Instead, the opposite is true. High-end properties are moving quickly, while entry-level listings are seeing more days on market, fewer showings, and less competition than anticipated. For buyers searching under $400,000, the ...

After months of rapid sales and intense competition, Memphis homebuyers are finally seeing the market move in their favor. Properties are staying on the market longer, sellers are offering new incentives, and buyers are taking more time — often touring several homes before making a decision. This shift marks a significant change from the fast-paced ...

“Most people still believe you need 20% down to purchase a home,” says Ricki Fitzpatrick, a realtor with Keller Williams Realty in Memphis. “I’ve had clients come with just their earnest money deposit and get a check back at closing.” Despite persistent misconceptions, the home-buying process in Memphis is more accessible than most realize. These ...

The Memphis real estate market stands out for its mix of accessible pricing and neighborhood diversity. High-end homes can sit just blocks from affordable starter properties, giving buyers at different income levels real choices. Yet despite this range, only 45% of Memphis residents own their homes, while 55% remain renters – a figure that speaks ...

Memphis challenges the conventional wisdom about secondary real estate markets by offering genuine luxury properties alongside accessible starter homes within the same neighborhoods, according to one local real estate professional who says this diversity creates unique market dynamics.

When buyers relocate to a mid-size city like Chattanooga, they choose a home based on price, lot size, and proximity to restaurants or schools. Traffic rarely makes the short list – the whole appeal of a smaller market is that you leave gridlock behind. But in a city growing as fast as Chattanooga, the highway ...

Some sellers in the Chattanooga metro are still anchoring their expectations to peak post-pandemic pricing, while today’s buyers have grown far more disciplined and value-conscious. The result is a market where correctly priced homes still move, but overpriced listings accumulate days on market until sellers accept a reality they could have acknowledged from the start. ...

The land investment space has long been dominated by two extremes: speculative holds on raw acreage and full-scale horizontal development with entitlements, infrastructure, and vertical construction. Between those poles sits a less visible model, buying large rural tracts, subdividing them under existing by-right zoning provisions, and selling smaller parcels to retail buyers who want to ...

Buying a single-family rental in a fast-growing Sun Belt city usually starts with job growth, population trends, and neighborhood quality. What many investors skip entirely is the one factor that can erase all of those advantages: how many new apartments are being built nearby. The argument sounds counterintuitive. You are buying a house, not a ...

The gap between Houston’s residential market and its coastal neighbor shows what happens when short-term rental speculation meets a correction. Harris County, Texas, currently has roughly six months of housing inventory – enough to classify it as a balanced-to-soft market where sellers need to price carefully and present homes in strong condition. But the sharper ...

The U.S. rental market built aggressively during the pandemic era, particularly in Sunbelt cities like Nashville, Austin, and Dallas. Now much of that new inventory, especially high-end apartments, is sitting partially empty, competing for renters whose budgets have tightened considerably since construction began. The disconnect is straightforward: developers built expensive Class A apartments in markets ...

In most American markets, holding a property for ten or twelve years builds a cushion of equity. In Manhattan, that assumption no longer holds across large segments of the market, according to Nikolay Afanasyev, Founder & CEO of CITY SPHERE Property Group, a boutique brokerage covering Manhattan and parts of Brooklyn.

For buyers waiting on the largest purchase of their lives, the appraisal process is one of the last black boxes in a home purchase. Turnaround time isn’t a single number; it’s the sum of scheduling, inspection, report production, quality review, and any revision cycles that follow, and thin appraiser panels and uncontrolled revision cycles are ...
