Belle Meade’s Real Estate Stats and Opinion

Belle Meade’s inventory remains low showing a buyer’s market with 9 months of inventory.  Covid-19 brought a drop in demand and we saw a lot of sellers also pulling their properties off the market.  Economists nationwide continue to report that we will not see a housing crisis and on the contrary, because of low inventories and strengthening demand while cities are opening up, we should see an increase in pricing.

Because Belle Meade is a market with 72% of primary residents, it’s not speculative and remains conservative, as we have reported in the past.

 

We continue to stress the importance of looking at markets at a micro level, especially when we have unprecedented events like Covid-19.  Identifying who is buying in Belle Meade is key when you are ready to sell your property in order to maximize the value of your home. 

Did you know that the median age in Belle Meade is 41? That 31% of households are owned by husband and wife? That 73% are households without kids?
