As someone who has called Middle Tennessee home since 1988, it’s always interesting to see how our region compares on the national stage—especially when it comes to vacation homes. Only 1.8% of Tennessee homes are classified as vacation properties, placing us 11th lowest in the country. Nationally, vacation homeownership has shifted, dropping from 5.47 million in 2018 to 4.74 million in 2024, influenced by rising costs and changing work patterns. While timeshares are seeing higher occupancy than hotels, the highest concentrations of vacation homes are found in Maine and Vermont, with Florida continuing to lead overall. As a Realtor and Broker deeply involved in our local and state real estate networks, I keep a close eye on these trends to better serve Middle Tennessee’s evolving needs. If you’re curious about what these shifts might mean for our market, I’m always happy to share what I’ve learned through years of experience and community involvement.
