Best In Tennessee Real Estate™: Memphis

🏆 Ranked #1 in Tennessee for Seasonal Home Share — ALEX Intelligence, 2026. 0.4% of homes in Memphis are held for seasonal use — the lowest in the state. This isn’t a sign of stagnation; it’s a signal of deep residential stability. Oakland and Memphis lead the metro, but even the highest share is negligible — meaning the city is built on roots, not rentals. This data, drawn from the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2024 ACS 5-Year Estimates, reveals a market where homeownership is personal, not speculative. How does a city with such low second-home activity maintain value and growth? The answer lies in permanence, not tourism. But Memphis is different.
