This Southeast City Named Best Real Estate Prospect For Third Year

The Tennessee capital becomes the only metropolitan area to repeat at No. 1 for three years running in the 45-year history of the annual “Emerging Trends in Real Estate” report from influential nonprofit research and policy organization Urban Land Institute.
