Over the past five years, Middle-TN has transformed into a real estate hotspot, with some areas witnessing an astounding 106% rise in median home values, surpassing the $1 million mark. With Nashville's real estate scene evolving rapidly, it's crucial to stay informed. I'm Justin Floyd, your Nashville real estate connoisseur and, of course, a great companion for some fun times.
Spotlight on Greater Nashville's Housing Market
Thanks to an insightful analysis by The Business Journal, we now have an in-depth look at the momentum of the housing market in Greater Nashville. Drawing from comprehensive home price data, they've ranked the top-performing zip codes based on their growth.
Top 5 Zip Codes Making Waves in Nashville Real Estate
37204 - Oak Hill: A 71% surge over the past five years and stable growth over the past year.
37215 - Belle Meade & Forrest Hills: With a 76% growth in the last half-decade, it has witnessed a slight dip of 2% in the past year.
37027 - Brentwood: Home values jumped 86% in five years, but have retreated by 3% in the last year.
37208 - Germantown & North Nashville: A 74% rise over five years, and a modest 1% growth in the past year.
College Grove: This gem in Williamson County topped the list with a staggering 106% increase over five years, despite a 2% dip in the last year.
The Current Pulse of Middle-TN's Real Estate
While areas like College Grove are experiencing rapid growth, there's an evident slowdown in home value growth across Middle Tennessee. Notably, locales such as Smyrna, Murfreesboro, The Gulch, West End, and Spring Hill have seen around a 4% drop in median sales prices over the past year. However, if we step back and analyze the last five years, these areas have grown by roughly 50% or more. Early investors are certainly reaping the benefits.
What Awaits in 2023?
The rest of 2023 looks somewhat similar to current trends:
Sellers are hesitant, with national listings down by 10% from last year and a massive 44% from 2019.
Traditional peak seasons like summer seem to be defying trends, with Nashville generally slowing only by October.
With 25-30 million homeowners enjoying mortgage rates at or below 3% and 42% of homeowners without any mortgage, many are choosing to retain their properties, resulting in low inventory and steady prices.
Unlocking Nashville’s Real Estate Potential
If the shortage of listings persists, new construction could be the game-changer. Thankfully, Nashville's construction scene is thriving, potentially providing a solution to the inventory crisis.
