As the Nashville leaves don their autumn hues, I, Justin Floyd, your local real estate expert, am here to sift through the latest market numbers for October 2023. Despite the expected seasonal slowdown, the real estate scene in our beloved Music City continues to hum with activity, and I'm excited to share my insights with you.
The Beat of Median Sales Price Let's talk numbers. There's a gentle yet steady crescendo in the median sales price, up 2.1% from last year, hitting a harmonious $575,000. This gentle rise is a testament to Nashville's enduring appeal and the sustained value in our housing market—even as the days grow shorter and the market cools.
The Tempo of Home Sales It's no secret that the volume of home sales sets the rhythm for the real estate market. This past October, there's been a noticeable decrescendo—a 12.8% drop in single-family home sales compared to last year. But don't be dismayed; this shift could signal a more balanced market, where the frenetic pace gives way to more thoughtful buying experiences.
Days on Market: A Slower Dance Homes are taking their sweet time on the stage, with days on market stretching from 18 to 26 days since last year. This more leisurely pace is music to buyers' ears, offering more time to make decisions without the pressure of a fast-moving market.
New Listings: A Quieter Ensemble New listings have taken a bow, decreasing by 16%. Yet, with about 2,000 homes still in the spotlight, the Nashville market's repertoire is far from limited. This could be the perfect intermission for buyers looking to enter the market without the cacophony of too many options.
Percent of Ask Price: Holding the Note The final note on our market's score is the percent of asking price homes are fetching—around 97.7%, just a whisper lower than last year's 98%. It's a subtle indication that while the tempo may have changed, the demand for living in Nashville keeps the market tune steady.
