Belle Meade Real Estate Market Report for 2021
Record breaking year does not even begin to describe Belle Meade’s Real Estate stats in 2021. Very much like the rest for the country, ver little inventory and super high demand, sent prices soaring!! Some buyers even going door knocking because they are willing to overpay for a place they can call home. I personally don’t blame them, the name of the game is how high are you willing to go.
But let’s be realistic about the market –> if you do your numbers right, consider record low interest rates, historic appreciation, and you are looking to remain in your home for at least 3-5 years, pulling the trigger at what seems like high prices, may be the right strategy.
Belle Meade is currently an aggressive seller’s market with only days of inventory. This is a market where you can expect multiple offers and bidding wars. Buyers need to be creative, need to have finances and paperwork ready and most importantly, work with REALTORS with a great reputation amongst their peers, in order to have a better chance of getting offers accepted.
Although CASH is king, only 37.9% of all deals in 2021 were actual cash transaction. Belle Meade is community driven with 70.7% of buyers occupying their home as a primary resindence.
