Are you interested in understanding the recent trends and numbers of the Nashville single-family housing market? Welcome aboard! Our real estate expert, Justin Floyd, is here to provide a comprehensive look into the current market dynamics, offering insights based on June's surprising numbers and comparing them to last year's so-called 'unicorn market'.
Dive Into the Nashville Real Estate Market
In this deep dive, we're exclusively focusing on the single-family housing market in Nashville, not including the surrounding counties. All data is fresh off the plate, having been recently released by the Nashville Association of Realtors.
As we unpack the Nashville real estate market, here are some of the key metrics we'll explore:
Median Sales Price
The median sales price for a single-family home in Nashville for June stood at $566,000, showing a decrease of 7% year over year. This is significantly lower compared to our average median sales price of $589,000 for all of 2023.
Sales Numbers
Sales numbers have also taken a hit, with Nashville seeing a decrease of 24%. The market saw 540 closes in June compared to 714 in the same month last year.
Inventory
As far as inventory goes, headlines have been flying left, right, and center. The reality? Nashville's inventory year over year is down by 3%. This confirms that we're still grappling with a tight supply of houses.
Days on Market
The average time a single-family home in Nashville spent on the market has also risen from seven days last year to twenty days this year.
What’s Causing These Changes?
High interest rates have been a major deterrent for buyers, and the current 7% rate has created some stagnation. On top of that, many current homeowners, enjoying mortgages with interest rates of 3% or less, have little incentive to move. This compounds the inventory issue.
The Silver Lining
But it's not all gloom and doom! Many homeowners are sitting on a wealth of equity due to the significant home price increases in the past few years. This equity is motivating them to make a move—whether to a larger home, a different city, or to downsize.
Additionally, Nashville home builders are pulling out all the stops, issuing a record number of housing permits. This uptick in construction could offer a much-needed boost to our inventory.
