Housing Market Sees First Increase in Three Months
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (July 8, 2020) – There were 4,191 home closings reported for the month of June, according to figures provided by Greater Nashville REALTORS®. This figure is up 0.5 percent from the 4,172 closings reported for the same period last year.
“For the first time in three months, the market shows strong signs of stabilizing,” said Kristy Hairston, Greater Nashville Realtors president. “A 0.5 percent increase from last year is exciting and shows us that our buyer’s housing demand is strong. While it’s apparent the uncertainty of the last few months affected the market during the second quarter, we see that trend changing.”
Data for the second quarter of 2020 showed 10,345 closings, down 12 percent from the 11,823 closings during the second quarter of 2019.

The rising median home sales price, continues to indicate a shortage of housing inventory in some areas,” added Hairston.
