Did you know that only 1.8% of homes in Tennessee are vacation homes? That’s the 11th lowest percentage across the U.S. Nationally, vacation homeownership has dipped from 5.47 million in 2018 to 4.74 million in 2024, shaped by rising costs and changes in how and where we work. Interestingly, timeshares are now seeing higher occupancy rates than hotels. While Florida still leads in sheer number of vacation homes, Maine and Vermont have the highest concentration. As someone who’s spent over two decades helping clients navigate both residential and investment properties throughout Middle Tennessee, I see firsthand how unique our local market is—whether you’re considering a primary residence, a second home, or an investment opportunity. Every real estate decision is personal, and Middle Tennessee offers its own distinctive advantages.
