Nashville Housing Market Sees Another Strong Month
There were 3,742 home closings reported for the month of October according to figures provided by Greater Nashville REALTORS®. This figure is up 16 percent from the 3,216 closings reported for the same period last year.
"We have seen another recording-breaking month," said Andrew Terrell, Greater Nashville Realtors® president. The 16 percent increase in home sales comes as no surprise as we rounded out September with 3,181 pending home sales. If the market follows this trend, we should see a healthy outcome for November based on the 3,127 pending sales for October."
A comparison of sales by category for October is:
| 2018 | 2019 | |
|---|---|---|
| Closings | 3,216 | 3,742 |
| Residential | 2,698 | 3,116 |
| Condominium | 359 | 428 |
| Multi-Family | 16 | 23 |
| Farms / Land / Lots | 143 | 175 |
There were 3,127 sales pending at the end of October, compared to 2,576 pending sales at this time last year. The average number of days on the market for a single-family home was 32 days.
The median price for a residential single-family home was $316,702, and for a condominium, it was $233,900. This compares with last year’s median residential and condominium prices of $296,355 and $220,000, respectively.
Inventory at the end of October was 11,435, down from 12,506 in October 2018.
The current inventory of properties by category, compared to last year, is:
| 2018 | 2019 | |
|---|---|---|
| Inventory | 12,506 | 11,435 |
| Residential | 8,905 | 8,164 |
| Condominium | 1,087 | 922 |
| Multi-Family | 85 | 62 |
| Farms / Land / Lots | 2,429 | 2,287 |
"Inventory declined slightly across the region," added Terrell. "Buyers don't need to allow a minimal decline to detour them from buying a new home. There are some things buyers can do to navigate lower inventory. First, work with a Realtor as they are prepared to navigate the market with your best interest in mind. Second, know what you can afford; having this information can be helpful when looking at potential homes. Finally, get preapproved; having a preapproval letter shows the seller you are serious about buying and can give you a competitive advantage if you find yourself in a multi-offer situation."
