Collierville led the six Shelby County suburban municipalities in most homes sold and highest median home sales price during the first quarter of 2024, according to Memphis Area Association of Realtors’ data.

Collierville saw 185 homes sold from January to March 2024, compared to 163 homes in the same period last year — a 13.5% increase. The town's median sales price rose 4.8%, going from $499,500 to $523,310.

Chelena Allen is a real estate agent with BenchMark Realtors, LLC and is on the Memphis Area Association of Realtors' board of directors. She said a couple things stand out about the Collierville housing market.

“The good thing we’re seeing is an increase in sales in Collierville, but as far as (home) pricing goes, it is increasing as well,” she said. “For existing homes, the median home price in Collierville is $465,000.”

She noted more new home sales are taking place in Collierville. The town saw 49 new homes sold in the first quarter of 2024, up 48.5% from 33 homes in the same period last year.

Allen said more new home construction is happening in Collierville because developers have access to more land, as compared to in a suburb like Germantown.

"It's just more availability to build out there in Collierville right now," she said.

Collierville is not alone in seeing an increase in home sales and sales price this past quarter. The majority of Shelby County suburbs saw increases.
