Driving Factors For Tennessee Real Estate Market

Prosperous Job Market & Low Cost of Living

Tennessee has a fairly low unemployment rate of 3.4% and features eleven Fortune 500 companies. Additionally, the Volunteer State has one of the lowest costs of living in the United States.

Dynamic Foreign Investor Environment

Nearly 1,000 foreign-owned companies have invested more than $34 billion and generated nearly 140,000 jobs across the state, leading to more demand for properties throughout TN.

Retirement Friendly

Tennessee is attractive to many retirees who have more discretionary income based on lack of Social Security Tax. Additionally, property taxes are low with an AER of only 0.75. These lend itself to more opportunities in developing more senior-friendly communities.

EquityMax Insight

There is clearly a growing demand for less maintenance-intensive investments, such as condos. Investors must always weigh the cost savings of this strategy with what will likely be a pricey HOA bill. With such an influx of new construction multi-family units being available, it may provide opportunities to purchase at lower price points, given the high supply of available units.

What Our Clients Say

EquityMax
April 30, 2021

There are so few non-recourse lenders in the market, but EquityMax was able to meet the challenge and finance my deal.  It was incredibly easy to work with them, and I loved that they serviced my loan directly even after the loan was funded.
