On January 15, 2019, Zillow released it’s annual Hottest Markets list and Nashville was once again near the top of that list.In 2017, Zillow rated Nashville as THE hottest market in the nation.
Last year, we slipped to 8th place and that’s where we find ourselves again in 2019.
8th place. I’d take that every year.
Here’s what our market looked like from Zillow’s perspective.
Metro Nashville = 1.8M residents
Median Home Value = $252,200
Median Rent = $1,499
Household Income = $63,939
Growth Rate = 2.1%
This “hottest” list is based on the following factors:
Zillow Home Value and Rent Forecast
Income and Population Growth
Current Unemployment Rates
Number of Job Openings
Other good news about Nashville:
The current median home value is the record for Nashville, and Zillow expects area home values to increase 6.8% over the next year.
Zillow also produces a market overview for the whole metro region and then breaks it down by city and county level. So you can see what’s happening in every major market in Middle Tennessee for sales and rentals every month.
I prefer to get my data from more than one trusted source. Zillow has some of the best research in the industry. No one is 100% correct with their forecasts, but you can gain valuable insights from each that together help you clearly see the big picture.
And when you understand the market, you tend to make better decisions about buying and selling your home.
