Job growth and steady affordability are making the Greater Memphis area a hot spot for home demand this year. 🏡

Buyers are prioritizing move-in-ready homes and zeroing in on properties that offer real value, especially as more options become available. Sellers who focus on presenting their homes in top condition and pricing to current market realities are seeing strong results. Listings that allow buyers to move in without extra work have a clear edge, especially in communities like Germantown, Collierville, and East Memphis.

If you’re weighing a move or thinking about selling, this season’s market offers a real opportunity, especially for those ready to showcase a well-prepared property while buyer interest stays high. 🗝️

Are you considering a move this summer? What would make a listing stand out to you right now? Let’s hear your thoughts below. 👇

🏡 TOUR TUESDAY — Germantown | The Enclave
9059 Baynard Loop
I was fortunate to be able to tour this home today with the agents in my office, and it's the kind of home I had a buyer in mind for before I even left the driveway - someone who's done raising their family, wants to entertain without the upkeep, and isn't willing to trade quality for a smaller footprint.
Here's why it works.
The main level is built around an open great room with vaulted, beamed ceilings that flows straight into the kitchen and breakfast nook. It's open without feeling cavernous—easy for just the two of you, just as easy when the whole family's in town for the holidays. Hardwoods throughout the main level, plantation shutters on every window, and a Phoenix whole-home entertainment system already wired in.
But the backyard is the closer. A Phantom-screened patio opens to a custom stone, wood-burning fireplace, with a fixed gas line ready for the grill. It's the kind of outdoor room you actually use—spring evenings, fall football, all of it—without the bugs or the maintenance of a big lot.
The rest delivers, too: 4 bedrooms, 4.1 baths, a private main-level primary suite, two more bedrooms plus a media room upstairs, a 3-car garage with built-in storage and an attic lift, and because peace of mind counts, an underground steel storm shelter.
This is refined, lock-and-leave living in one of Germantown's most established communities. The kind of house people settle into and don't leave.
Want a private look before it's gone? Send me a message or call—happy to walk you through it.

Choosing whether to buy or sell first can shape your entire move in the Memphis area. 🏡

With the local market leaning in favor of buyers and a slower pace on the selling side, the best approach often comes down to your budget, timing, and comfort with risk. Selling first can offer safety from double payments, especially when homes are taking a bit longer to attract the right offer. It can also mean a quick pivot into your next property with cash in hand, but might require a stopgap solution, like temporary housing, between moves. 🗝️

On the flip side, buying first provides peace of mind that you have your next place lined up. If your finances support carrying both homes temporarily, it’s a smoother way to transition and lets you present your current home in its best light once vacant. 📝

There’s no universal right order. It’s about matching the local market’s rhythm with your needs and building a plan that covers contingencies and timeline surprises. Connecting with the right partners, lender, agent, and even a financial planner, makes all the difference.

My 5 favorite things about Unit 1102 at The Artesian 👆

I've spent enough time in this unit to know what makes it special, and these are the five that stand out. The river view gets the headline — and it earns it — but the floorplan is what makes it livable day to day. Open where you want it open, private where you want it private.

If downtown riverfront living is on your radar, this one's worth a look. DM me or call to set up a showing.

Some homes just make sense for the way families actually live.

This one in Wellington Farms checks the boxes that matter — space to spread out, room to grow, and a backyard built for summer.

Just shy of 3,900 square feet with a smart, livable floor plan. The primary suite is downstairs (the feature move-up buyers ask for most), with laminate floors running through the main level. Head upstairs and you'll find three more bedrooms, a dedicated office, and a bonus room — flexible space that flexes with you. That office could just as easily be a 6th bedroom, a media room, or a playroom.

Then there's the part everyone gathers around: a screened-in porch and a 2-year-old gunite pool. Comfort, flexibility, and outdoor living at its best.

While the headlines keep telling you the market is falling apart, here's what actually happened with our team last month.
In May, the agents in our Crye-Leike Germantown office closed 64 homes for $33.4 million in sales across the Memphis metro — up from 40 homes and $17.7 million the same month a year ago. That's an 89% jump in sales volume.
So the next time you hear "the market is bad," remember: real estate is local. Buyers are buying and sellers are selling all over the metro — and our agents are right in the middle of it.
A huge congratulations to this team. You're not keeping up with the market — you're outrunning it.

Germantown Market Update — May 2026 🏡
Germantown is moving: 86 homes sold this May vs. 75 a year ago — about 15% more activity. But the two zip codes told very different price stories.
📍 38138 — Average price rose ~5% to $555,854. The catch? Homes simply sold bigger this year. Price per square foot held flat at ~$187 — so buyers are paying for more house, not a premium per foot.
📍 38139 — The upper end cooled. Average price slipped ~5% to $721,977, and price per square foot dropped ~6.5% to ~$186. That's genuine softening — and a real window to negotiate that wasn't here a year ago.
The takeaway: more homes are trading hands, and in the higher bracket, pricing has eased. If you've been waiting on the sidelines, that's worth a conversation. And remember — you can always refinance the rate. But you can never go back and reduce the price you paid.

That overgrown shrub. The peeling shutters. The door that's been "temporary" for 3 years. 🏡
Curb appeal is the first thing buyers see — and the first thing that makes them keep scrolling or stop cold.
In my latest video, I break down exactly how to transform your home's exterior in just 2 weekends. No major renovations. No contractor drama. Just strategic moves that make buyers stop and stare.
