Belle Meade’s inventory continues to drop with inventory being at 10 months right now. March showed more closings that the previous month and although we do expect for demand to decrease, if inventory follows suit, then the market should not be affected by the current COVID-19 situation.
Belle Meade continues to be a conservative market, not a speculative one. People buy to live and only 29% are investors. Buyers are coming not only from the US but from Argentina, Colombia, France and Venezuela. 3 bedroom properties are the most sold and they average $438/SF, compared to $392/SF for 2 bedroom homes.
It’s important to analyze the real estate market at a micro level, especially when sales keep dropping, because it will help identify the right audience as well as right marketing strategy.
