US EditionNebraska Ranks #4 in Affordable Housing Study
Tennessee faces affordability challenges with a median home price of $334,820 and construction costs near the national average, amid a nationwide 8.5% decline in residential construction spending.
- From mid-2024 through mid-2025, inflation-adjusted spending on residential construction in the U.S. declined by 8.5%, reflecting a nationwide slowdown in building activity.
- The slowdown was driven by rising borrowing expenses for builders, escalating construction expenses, and ongoing economic instability, even though housing inventory has seen slight gains.
- This decline in construction worsens the limited affordable housing supply amid persistent home price growth, with the national median sale price nearly $374,000 in June 2025.
- Buyers earning about $75,000 annually could afford only 21% of listings in early 2025, less than half the affordable share before the pandemic, highlighting affordability gaps.
- Without significant increases in affordable housing supply, the affordability crisis is likely to persist, pressuring policymakers and markets to expand accessible home options.
