Does Amendment 2 really do anything for property owners in Tennessee?

Part of the 2026 midterm elections has a proposed amendment to prevent the general assembly from creating a state property tax in the future.

Now back in 1949, Tennessee reduced its state property tax down to zero. Property taxes are instead levied by local cities, counties, and municipalities to go towards things like local infrastructure & services. The assembly does still technically have the power to create a tax in the future if it was somehow deemed necessary or beneficial and this closes that door which would then require an amendment to the state constitution requiring a two-thirds vote, as well as a majority vote by the populace.

My take, it's just some fluff and noise. It's a Republican sponsored bill, I think that was put out there just for fluff and to say that crackin down on taxes but doesn't actually have any impact. There's bigger fish to fry this go around.

What say you? And don't forget to

The Federal Reserve held its meeting today, and the results may surprise some.

Opting to pause on any rate changes, citing slower job growth mixed with higher consumer spending over the last couple months means that they are simply just waiting for more data, which will not come until after the midterm elections.

Does this mean we're gonna see significant changes in the future? that's to be determined.

If you're waiting for housing interest rates to change, pack a lunch, you may be waiting longer than you want to.

For sellers who need to sell this may mean pricing head of the market a little bit more aggressively, as more housing stock increases and new construction comes online. Especially as the median home sale price for new construction is now slightly below that of existing housing stock, meaning it's largely cheaper to buy something brand new than something 30 years old. Remember, days on market is the enemy of a home's value.

For buyers, that means you stay a little bit more on the driver seat and don't be afraid to make the offer, you just might get it.

This is all, of course, market specific, as there are certain areas of this country that are still very strong seller markets with very low inventory. Across the southwest and southeast, it's a totally different story.

For my real estate agent friends, this means having more realistic conversations with your clients and being able to articulate this information is critical.

Robots taking over new construction?

I saw this where DR Horton, americas largest home builder has signed a deal with a robotics company to assemble homes in the Phoenix area.

whether this would lower the housing cost because of the savings on labor is up for debate, I'd be surprised if it did.

It does at least point to the advancement of what has been going on in this country for a long time, which is prefabricated homes shipped and assembled on site. Certainly, we saw a big boom for this in the 40s & 50s.

is the quality gonna be better? We will see. I could certainly see where the robot would be doing a better, more precise job than a guy showing up with a barely legal blood alcohol limit.

What do you think?
Will the robots run everything?
Would you trust a robot to build your house?

Let's walk a property together.

Every time I do this, it's with the end in mind.

Who's gonna be the end buyer and at what price will they pay?

Or who is gonna be the tenant and what rent will they pay?

Always have more than one option, never be forced into a situation where you have to sell it to exit.

Playing the investor game allows me to better serve my clients as their real estate agent.

Delivering multiple options and perspectives based on real world experience.

If you're interested in real estate investing, whether you're an agent or not let's chat about your goals.

Always happy to help.

I drove 3 hours to spend the day w/ the agent leading the #1 team in Michingan. Here's my top 5 takeaways.

✅ Specialists win. As searches and AI advances, generalists get lost in the shuffle. Be specific and intentional. Pick a niche and OWN IT

✅ More detailed reviews matter more than ever. A simple "5 star great job" won't cut it. Ask clients to describe the process and wins in detail. See point 1. Online language models are reading them intensely. Proud of our CAZA Knoxville team for surpassing 100 5 star reviews

✅ Never stop skill building and keep sharp on the basics.

✅ Create more content than you consume.

✅ The more people are aware of your goals, the more likely they are to happen.

Character they don't build anymore, in a location you can’t beat.

Heart pine floors. A bay window and fireplace mantel. Light pouring through original-character windows. Then a full 2021 renovation behind the walls: new plumbing, electric, HVAC, kitchen, and baths.

1404 Hannah Ave | Historic Old Mechanicsville

4 bed | 2 bath | 1,609 sq ft | 0.27 acres

A fully fenced yard and a detached two-car garage/workshop, which is rare this close to downtown.

Morning coffee on the porch. A walk to the ballpark for first pitch. Dinner in the Old City. Home before the streetlights come on.

Minutes from UT, downtown, and the new Covenant Health Park. It works as a home with a story, or as a student, co-living, or mid-term rental.

Every Tuesday, 2-5pm is blocked.

No appointments - just the team and I connecting with all of our active clients.

Sellers get showing feedback, real market data, and contract updates. Buyers get clarity on exactly what's next. Nobody wonders where things stand.

If your client - this is what you get. If you're an agent - this is what a system looks like.
