Hows the Market in Nashville?

Hey Guys!  Can anyone tell me how the overall market in Nashville is doing?  I am thinking about branching my wholesaling out there since I come visit family quite a bit.  I have some good connections and I think my strategies will work.  Just wanted to know how people who are already investing or wholesaling are doing out there.  Any information is good!  Thanks!

@Marc Bracy The market here is very healthy. Due to the absorption rate, Nashville has currently entered a full blown seller's market. However, I have seen the market soften and properties are starting to sit on the market. For example, Inglewood (east nashville) at its peak in August and September hit about $220 a square foot. It has since fallen to 190-200 a square foot. Is this because of the holiday's or is the market slowing down? Only time will tell. 

With that being said, it is still a great market.

    According to this year's BuizJournal report (link below). "We're NOW #3 for hottest markets in the country", last year we were reported at #4.

    It's a good market but quite a bit of competition if your mailing. All wholesalers are mailing but you see a lot more Rehabbers mailing and now a ton of builders mail also now. So you'll probably need to be a bit more creative with you list or get your own drive for dollars mailing list to pickup deals without much competition.

    It's a crowded sellers market. If I were looking for a place to expand to, I wouldn't pick here unless I had deep pockets and extensive connections.

    Hot market, lots of opportunity, lots of competition.

     What is the consensus that you can see?  We are at a 1% increase by years end and another 1% projected by spring.  We are not nearly as affected by the seasons though!  great insight, thank you!

    consensus is that it will increase but I think it's plateauing

    Agree with Devan.  Things seem to have peaked.  I do rentals...2 years ago they were red hot, but not I'm seeing much more competition along with more vacancy.

     I haven't looked hard at any other market, so all I can offer is an uneducated guess, which I'd rather not. 

    My sense is that the mid-sized rust belt cities offer a lot of opportunities, but you need good people on the ground.
