Third Quarter Sales Data Continues to Climb
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Oct. 7, 2020) – There were 4,336 home closings in the Greater Nashville Region reported for the month of September, according to figures provided by Greater Nashville REALTORS®. This figure represents a 17 percent increase compared to the 3,704 closings in September 2019.
Data for the third quarter of 2020 showed 13,419 closings, up 12 percent from the 12,030 closings during the same period of 2019.
“The housing market has recovered nicely, and continues with positive gains. The uptick in closings means that buyers are still in the market for homes despite the low inventory,” said Kristy Hairston, Greater Nashville REALTORS® president. “The Greater Nashville area remains increasingly attractive to consumers looking to relocate to our great city. With remote work being a part of our daily lives, we can expect to see change in their home location preferences.”
