🐝Poll Results

Last week we asked now that Sprouts is coming to Mt. Juliet, which of these will be your go-to grocery store?

Results!

Publix: 1st Place

Kroger: 2nd Place

Sprouts: 3rd Place Tie

“Can't beat the BOGO on a lot of items”

“Proximity and pleasant experiences”

“I will continue to shop at Publix and Trader Joe’s and will add on Sprouts too🥹

“ALDI for the save”

“We want a Trader Joes! :)”

“I wish it was a Whole Foods instead, but I’m glad to have more options for organic food!”

“I’ve heard a lot of good things about sprouts and while I currently shop at a number of the place is listed, I look forward to having an option with potentially healthier choices”

“Walmart for majority of groceries, they are still the most cost affective. Publix for emergencies. Sprouts has the BEST freshly made deli sandwiches, I'll go for those if I cannot make it to Jason's deli!”

🐝MJ Real Estate Update

Lots of buzz lately around whether we’re shifting to a buyer’s market—especially with national headlines like Miami having 3x more sellers than buyers. But what about here in Mt. Juliet?

Inventory is up about 47% from last year, but new listings are actually down. Homes are sitting longer, which is causing active inventory to slowly build. That said—we’re still under 4 months of inventory, and there are only about 40 active listings under $425K.

If you have any questions about the real estate market here in Mt Juliet or anywhere else in Middle TN, feel free to reach out. I'd love the opportunity to earn your business!
