Having spent over four decades navigating the Middle Tennessee real estate landscape, I've seen plenty of market shifts—but today’s Nashville market stands out. Right now, sellers outnumber buyers by more than two to one, giving buyers more room to negotiate on price than we’ve seen in quite some time. However, there’s another side to the coin: mortgage rates have recently crept into the upper-6% to near-7% range for 30-year fixed loans. For buyers, this means your choice of lender can make a real difference—a typical rate spread could impact your monthly payment by about $329 on a $400,000 loan.

It’s interesting to note that higher mortgage rates often cool off home sales, which helps explain the current dip in buying activity—even as buyers enjoy stronger negotiating power. So, if you’re exploring the Nashville market, you’ll find better leverage at the table, but it’s important to run the numbers carefully on your financing. As always, my goal is to provide honest, experienced guidance so you can make the decisions that serve you best.

Over my four decades in Middle Tennessee real estate, I’ve seen the market shift in countless ways—but today’s starter-home landscape stands out for the new opportunities it offers first-time buyers. The field is more balanced, allowing entry-level buyers to explore more options, face fewer bidding wars, and step into negotiations with greater confidence than in the recent past.

Right now, buyers can often request seller credits, help with closing costs, mortgage rate buydowns, inspection repairs, or even extra time for due diligence. Occasionally, furnishings or appliances enter the conversation as well. Homes that are priced well and in top condition still move quickly; however, listings that linger or need updates now present real chances for buyers to negotiate on both price and concessions.

Of course, affordability remains a real challenge—average 30-year mortgage rates hovered around 7% throughout mid to late Q3 2026. For those who are financially ready, though, this window offers a less frenzied market. My advice: keep your savings, credit, and monthly budget in harmony so that homeownership continues to build your financial foundation. As always, I’m dedicated to providing the guidance and experience you deserve on this important journey.

After 41 years guiding clients across Middle Tennessee, I’ve seen firsthand how pricing can make or break a home sale. Data from the past 12 months in Davidson County reveals that nearly 1 in 3 listed homes simply didn’t sell—even after relisting. More often than not, this comes down to one core mistake: listing with the wrong numbers.

Accurate pricing isn’t guesswork. It starts with a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) based on recently closed sales—not just what’s currently on the market. Closed sales reflect what buyers are truly willing to pay. If you’re buying, don’t treat list prices as market value. Instead, review closed sales from the last 90 days, compare price per square foot, and factor in days on market for context.

When I meet sellers who want $900K for homes that align more closely with recent $825K sales, I always encourage a frank conversation: what—specifically—sets your property apart in the eyes of today’s buyers? Homes priced right in Davidson County have been going under contract within about 14 days, often at or near list price. Overpriced listings, on the other hand, tend to linger, then chase the market with reductions that still fall short.

For buyers, anchoring your offer to three comparable nearby closed sales—and calmly explaining your math—can make all the difference. And remember: sometimes, being ready to walk away from aspirational pricing is the smartest move. Integrity, expertise, and honest communication are key to every successful real estate decision.

After more than four decades guiding clients through Nashville’s evolving real estate landscape, I’ve seen firsthand how wishful pricing can sideline even the most promising listings. Too often, sellers anchor their expectations to neighborhood chatter, renovation investments, or online valuations—rather than the reality of recent closed sales. The numbers tell the story: over the past 12 months, about one-third of Nashville listings never sold, and the typical price reduction hovered around $20,000—yet many homes still missed connecting with a buyer.

A home priced right in our market typically goes under contract in about 14 days, often at or near full asking price. Meanwhile, those with optimistic pricing find themselves trailing the market, adjusting again and again. For buyers, list price remains a starting point for negotiation. As I advise my clients, offers should be grounded in closed sales from the last 90 days and carefully consider price per square foot.

When recent comparable sales are lacking, buyers often gain the upper hand—making it all the more important for sellers to work with an agent who understands how to position their home with market data. My approach is always rooted in clear communication and respect on both sides of the table. In a market where experience and integrity matter more than ever, expert guidance can make all the difference.
