## Resource

Chattanooga’s real estate market has officially entered a new era. In this episode, Blake Watson of Epique Realty breaks down the biggest shift we’ve seen in nearly a decade: a dramatic increase in housing inventory, rising days on market, and cooling prices. Whether you're buying your first home or preparing to sell, this episode explains why the old rules no longer apply—and what you need to do to win in this balanced (and possibly tipping) market. This episode covers: Why inventory has jumped over 250% since 2022 How rising mortgage rates are reshaping buyer strategy What sellers must do to stand out in a crowded market Price trends, buyer leverage, and realistic expectations for both sides of a home sale If you want real numbers, real talk, and real guidance for navigating this shifting Chattanooga real estate market, this episode is a must-listen.
