Spring 2025 Market Update: Why Now is a Great Time to Buy or Sell

In this episode of Let’s Talk Chattanooga Real Estate, host Blake Watson, a licensed Realtor in Tennessee and Georgia with Epique Realty, dives into the latest Chattanooga market trends for Spring 2025. If you’ve been considering buying or selling a home, this episode will explain why now might be the perfect time to make your move.

Key Topics Covered in This Episode:

  • Interest Rates Are Dropping
  • The 30-year fixed mortgage rate has fallen for seven consecutive weeks, currently averaging a little above 6.5% as of March 11, 2025.
  • Lower interest rates are making homeownership more affordable and encouraging more buyers to enter the market.
  • Inventory Levels Are Up
  • Chattanooga’s housing inventory has increased by 41% year-over-year, from 2,053 homes in February 2024 to 2,897 homes in February 2025.
  • More homes on the market mean more choices for buyers and a slightly slower market pace.
  • Days on Market Are Increasing
  • The average time a home stays on the market is now 59 days, up from much shorter timelines in previous years.
  • This gives buyers more time to shop around, compare homes, and make informed decisions.
  • Home Prices Continue to Rise
  • The median home sales price in the Chattanooga MLS has climbed to $330,000, an 8% increase from $306,000 in February 2024.
  • Home values are still appreciating, making now a smart time to buy before prices rise further.
  • Closed Sales Remain Strong
  • February 2025 saw 684 closed sales, nearly identical to February 2024’s 696 closed sales, showing consistent buyer demand despite shifting market conditions.

Why This Matters for Buyers & Sellers

With more inventory available, lower interest rates, and home values continuing to rise, the Spring 2025 real estate market presents a strong opportunity for both buyers and sellers. Whether you're upgrading, downsizing, or purchasing your first home, now is the time to take action before prices climb further.
