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\u2019s evolving needs. If you\u2019re curious about what these shifts might mean for our market, I\u2019m always happy to share what I\u2019ve learned through years of experience and community involvement.<\/p>\n<p>\t<a class=\"roomvu-news-continue\" href=\"http:\/\/www.advocateanddemocrat.com\/news\/state\/article_61a5c8eb-2ae0-5667-925d-3a5a8d2cf04b.html\"><\/p>\n<div>Continue to full article<\/div>\n<p>\t<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As someone who has called Middle Tennessee home since 1988, it\u2019s always interesting to see how our region compares on the national stage\u2014especially when it comes to vacation homes.
