There is so much positive information going around about the Memphis Tennessee real estate market lately its staggering. From the influx of Electrolux, the appliance manufacturing company, to Mitsubishi opening a manufacturing plant in Tennessee bringing thousands of jobs, to Pass Pro building the second largest Bass fishing outlet in the U.S. at the Pyramid in downtown Memphis. Things look great for the Memphis market. We even have the Tennessee Brewing Company adding quite a few jobs. Now CNN comes out saying that Memphis is the number one most affordable retirement spot. I am really excited what this means for Memphis real estate prices. There are also major reports that as companies become more nationalized many are migrating toward Memphis to be closer to FedEx's central location for distribution in the U.S. Companies want faster turnaround time on their products and less shipping costs so they are moving closer to FedEx. Here is the list on CNN Money:

On top of all of this positive news last week, the mayor of Memphis made an agreement with the city of Paris to forge closer economic ties for growth since they are both distribution power houses. I am so excited about Memphis and the increase in job growth in the market which will be helping real estate prices increase in the future. Historically Memphis real estate prices have raised an average of 4% per year over the last 20 years and I see even greater growth potential going forward.
