This price-increse phenomenon isn’t limited to the Music City; it’s been occurring on a national scale ever since the pandemic. The S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller National Home Price Index reveals that home prices have jumped 47% across the U.S. since the beginning of 2020.

This surge has allowed homeowners to accumulate a significant amount of equity in their properties. As of early 2024, the average mortgage-holding homeowner possesses $299,000 in equity, according to ICE’s Mortgage Monitor report. Homeowners can now leverage this newfound equity for various financial motives, such as purchasing a new property, funding home improvements, or paying off debts.
