Just 1.8% of Tennessee Homes Are Vacation Homes | Let’s get you home!

When you look at Tennessee's housing market, you’ll see that vacation homes make up just 1.8% of all homes here—about 56,500 out of the state’s 3.14 million residences. That puts us near the bottom nationally for second-home concentration, ranking 11th lowest in 2024. With a median home price-to-income ratio right around 4, affordability remains a central part of the story. Nearly half of Tennessee renters—about 49%—are cost-burdened, reminding us that every home’s purpose truly matters in our communities. Vacation homes are only a small slice of the housing picture, but the way we use our homes shapes the opportunities available for everyone. Let’s get you home.
