🐝MJ Weekly Poll

🐝MJ Real Estate Update

I’m noticing increased activity in the market lately, whether it’s the talk of upcoming rate drops, the growing inventory, or eager buyers, things are picking up. It’s further proof that Middle TN remains a popular destination, with more buyers than sellers. Sellers may still need to adjust their list prices to match the current market, but homes in certain price ranges continue to attract significant interest from prospective buyers.

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!
