Home Price History in Tennessee
FHFA all-transactions House Price Index for the state of Tennessee — annual data, 1975 through 2025, rebased to 100 in the year 2000.
Tennessee's FHFA all-transactions House Price Index runs from 1975 through 2025. The state-level HPI, rebased to 100 in 2000, stood at 286.3 at the latest reading. Cumulative nominal appreciation since 2000: +186.3%.
The 2007–2011 housing crisis cut the Tennessee HPI by 9.2% peak-to-trough — from 133.7 in 2008 to 121.4 in 2012. The U.S. national HPI fell roughly 21% over the same window, so Tennessee's drawdown was milder than the national average.
The pandemic-era surge brought Tennessee's HPI from 171.8 in 2019 to 286.3 in 2025 — a +66.6% cumulative gain in 6 years, running above the national pace.
Tennessee sits in the South census region of the United States. Long-run state-level home-price appreciation reflects regional employment patterns, in-migration flows, and supply constraints. State-level FHFA series can mask significant intra-state divergence — see the linked metro pages below for sub-state breakdowns where available.

Methodology
The FHFA House Price Index is a weighted, repeat-sales index that measures average price changes in repeat sales or refinancings on the same single-family properties. The all-transactions index incorporates both purchase mortgages and refinance appraisals; the index is calibrated to the South census region and rebased to 100 in the year 2000.
