The first show of this series is on the cost of waiting to buy a home in Nashville over the last year. While the math might be shocking, that is not my goal today.

Today on the Moving to Nash Show, we going to kickoff the new year with my Top 3 Housing Market Predictions for 2022 in Nashville. If you’re thinking about moving in the near future, then this show was made for you. My first prediction is that housing inventory, or the supply of homes for sale, will continue to be the number one problem in Middle Tennessee for the foreseeable future.

Hey! Steve Jolly here with Benchmark Realty. Today on the Moving to Nash Show, we going to continue our series for homeowners. If you’re thinking about selling your home, then this is for you.

Because it is a seller’s market, most people don’t value advertising your listing until they hear this. The secret to getting the highest offer is through maximizing competition by getting as many buyers excited about your home as possible. Now, you could take the approach of the average agent, put it in ..read more

Hey! Steve Jolly here with Benchmark Realty. Today on the Moving to Nash Show, I want to start a new series for homeowners. If you’re thinking about selling your home, then this is for you. The first thing I want to talk about today is the Nashville Market Heat Index. You’ve heard a lot about it lately because it is the #1 factor driving the market today. There is simply not enough supply for the current demand. Fortunately, buyers in this area have a habit of slowing down in the fall and winter months. Less competition is good news for buyers who have been struggling to find success this year ..read more

Hey! Steve Jolly here with Benchmark Realty and the Moving to Nash Show. Today I want to talk with you about real estate myths and show you… When is the best time to sell your home? That’s one of the most common questions in real estate. For all practical purposes in Nashville right now, the best time to sell your home is when you are ready. As I showed you a few weeks ago, only one time in the last forty years has median prices dropped in Nashville. Let’s set that aside and get back to the heart of the question. You want to know from an investment standpoint, when should you list your home ..read more
