🍂 The Market Is Changing with the Seasons
Fall in Middle Tennessee means cooler weather, colorful trees, and pumpkin-spice everything — but it also brings subtle shifts in our local housing market.

📊 Quick Snapshot of the Market (Fall 2025)
Here’s what we’re seeing across most of Middle Tennessee and the greater Nashville metro area:
Average Days on Market: 42–55 days (up slightly from summer).
Median Sales Price: Around $355,000, depending on county, school zone, and proximity to Nashville.
Inventory: Up about 10–12% from spring levels, giving buyers more choices.
Buyer Activity: Still strong, especially for move-in-ready homes under $400,000.

Translation? 🏠 A stable, balanced market that continues to attract buyers relocating to the Nashville area while giving sellers strong returns.
🏠 For Sellers: Presentation & Pricing Are Everything
Even with steady demand, today’s buyers have more options. That makes presentation and pricing critical — whether your home is in Clarksville, Pleasant View, or the Nashville suburbs.
Boost Curb Appeal: Let those fall colors work for you! A tidy yard and a few pumpkins on the porch create emotional connection in photos.
Stage for Warmth: Cozy textures, candles, and ambient lighting help buyers picture themselves living there.
Price to Stand Out: Strategic pricing brings in more showings — and more offers.
Highlight Location Benefits: Mention commute times to Nashville, nearby schools, parks, or shopping hubs.
