SUMMARY: After Hurricane Helen, car owners should be cautious as flooding affected an estimated 89,000 cars between June and August, adding to nearly half a million impacted by storms in 2023, according to Carfax.

SUMMARY: Rental prices in Nashville are declining faster than anywhere in the U.S., according to September data from realtor.com. This decrease is primarily due to a surge in multifamily developments and seasonal cooling in the housing market, with rents dropping for 14 consecutive months. While Nashville faces an oversupply of apartments, cities like Cincinnati see rising rents due to affordability. Nashville’s average rent stands at $1,578, significantly higher than nearby cities like Birmingham and Memphis.
