Best In Tennessee Real Estate™: Memphis
2026-09-26
🏆 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.
