Key Points Discussed:

Active Listings in the Chattanooga Area Are Up: A 43% year-over-year increase in active listings gives buyers more options, with mid-to-high price brackets leading the way.

Affordable Homes Still Dominate: Homes priced between $300K-$399K make up 24% of all listings, showcasing strong demand in this "sweet spot."

Chattanooga’s Luxury Boom: $1million to $1.1million listings have surged by 103% year-to-date, driven by relocation trends, property appreciation, and economic confidence in real estate.
