Nashville, TN Housing Market 2026: What Homes Actually Sell For
What homes actually sell for in Nashville: a median closing price of $530,000 across 4,701 closings Resideline tracked over the last six months, plus the full price spread and a ZIP-level breakdown.
Nashville produces a steady stream of closings but little consensus: sales over the last six months span a range wide enough that the median is a midpoint between different markets, not a going rate. The distribution below matters more than the headline.
The snapshot
- •Closings tracked, last 6 months: 4,701
- •Median sold price, last 6 months: $530,000
- •Median sold $/sqft, last 6 months: $301
- •Middle half of sales closed between: $369,000 and $815,000
What the numbers say
Resideline tracked 4,701 closed sales in Nashville over the last six months, with a median closing price of $530,000. That median is the midpoint of what buyers actually paid, not what sellers hoped to get, which is why it moves differently from the asking prices you see on listing sites. The middle half of those sales closed between $369,000 and $815,000. That spread matters more than the headline median: where a specific property sits inside it decides whether the citywide number helps you or misleads you. These are the closings Resideline tracks and may differ from complete county or municipal records. The large tracked sample provides substantial market-level evidence. Across the 4,691 closings with usable living area, the middle half sold between $239 and $388 per square foot.

Where Nashville sale prices land
Medians hide the shape of a market. The distribution above covers the closed sales Resideline tracked in Nashville over the last six months that carry a usable sale date, trimmed to the 5th through 95th percentile, with the middle half of sales closing between $369,000 and $815,000. Among the 71 Tennessee markets with a published band, Nashville's middle-half spread ($369,000 to $815,000) ranks 65th from the narrowest. Where your target property sits inside that spread matters more than the citywide median. Measured as the ratio of the upper to the lower quartile, its middle-half spread ranks in the 85th percentile of the 2,187 US markets in Resideline's national Market Watch set, on data as of September 4, 2026.
How long a sale takes here
- •Listed to under contract: a median of 27 days, across 1,574 Nashville closings Resideline tracked in the last six months
- •Contract to closing: a median of 22 days, across 1,379 Nashville closings Resideline tracked in the last six months
The Nashville angle
Pricing in Nashville rewards discipline about comp selection, because the closed-sale spread here runs wider than most markets Resideline tracks. Across 4,701 closings Resideline tracked over the last six months, the median closed sale price was $530,000, and the middle half of sales closed between $369,000 and $815,000. The upper quartile stands further from the median than the lower quartile does, so a subject that outperforms the middle of the market can still be an entirely ordinary sale. The citywide median is a bound to check against, not a value to adopt.

From market read to offer price
A spread this wide means the citywide number cannot price a specific address; the step that matters is the property-level read. The decision still comes down to one property and one number: what it is actually worth and what you should pay. Every Resideline report opens with this same market snapshot for the subject's exact ZIP code, then gives you the property's value, the sold comps behind it, and a market rent estimate. Pricing a specific deal? The free ARV calculator and rental property calculator run the numbers in about a minute.
And we show our work. Every estimate is frozen while the home is for sale and graded against the real closing price after it sells. See the live accuracy dashboard for the receipts, or read how the Area Market Snapshot works.
Run any Nashville address through Resideline and you will see the local market and the property's value together, in one report.

The local market statistics in this report are calculated from closed sales tracked by Resideline. Transaction coverage may differ from complete county or municipal records.
Every local market figure on this page is computed from closed sales Resideline tracked in Nashville over the last six months, and is refreshed when the data is. The closings we track within the Nashville city limits are not limited to listing-service sales: they also include foreclosure deeds, estate and family transfers, and other off-market sales that portal medians exclude, which is why 17% of the 4,701 closings in this window never appeared on a listing service, and the median of MLS-listed sales alone was $535,000.

What does Nashville's wide band change about how I build comps?
It raises the standard for what counts as comparable.
