The ongoing coronavirus pandemic has had far-reaching effects. One unexpected result is that people are using this time to move to new cities.  Who would have thought? Real estate professionals have been busy helping people find new homes, and Chattanooga, TN, is becoming an increasingly popular destination for many reasons. Below is more information about how COVID-19 is affecting the real estate market, and why you should consider moving there.

Why Are People Moving?

Businesses have been rethinking how they operate in response to the health crisis, causing many jobs to change. Whether the jobs were lost or migrated to a remote capacity, many people are no longer financially tied to their current area.

This provides families the freedom to move to a city that suits their financial and leisure needs better. Many are also choosing to move to areas where the population isn’t as dense, which mitigates their risk of contracting COVID-19. For some, this allows them to be closer to friends and family and provide extra care during the pandemic.

The Benefits of Relocating to Chattanooga

The city is in is at the transition between the ridge-and-valley portion of the Appalachian Mountains and the Cumberland Plateau. There’s no shortage of beautiful vistas to experience.
