Data for the month of October showed 2,824 home closings according to figures provided by Greater Nashville REALTORS®. This figure indicates a 30 percent decrease from the 4,047 closings reported for the same period last year.
“The recent rise in interest rates is playing a factor in declining sales, but there’s still plenty of options for buyers to get into the market today,” said Steve Jolly, Greater Nashville Realtors president.
A comparison of sales by category for October is:
There were 2,003 sales pending at the end of October, compared to 3,976 pending sales at this time last year. The average number of days on the market for a single-family home was 39 days.
The median price for a residential single-family home was $478,500 and for a condominium it was $346,510. This compares with last year’s median residential and condominium prices of $429,900 and $295,900 respectively.

“An increase in inventory and days on market is good news for buyers,” added Jolly. “This gives first-time homebuyers more time to consider their options and with less competition, multiple offer situations are no longer the norm.”
