November Homes Sales Show Moderate Decrease
Inventory Up 25 Percent
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Dec. 7, 2018) – There were 2,954 closings reported for the month of November, according to figures provided by Greater Nashville REALTORS®. This represents a 7 percent decrease from the 3,177 closings reported for November 2017.
Year-to-date closings total 36,633 a 1.6 percent decrease compared to the 37,236 closings reported through November 2017.
“November closings show a moderate decrease compared to this time last year," said Greater Nashville REALTORS® President Sher Powers. "To counter that, we do see higher numbers for pending sales going into December, which means it's likely to balance the year with sales volume very similar to last year's totals.
Powers continues, "Pricing is still showing an increase for the month but at a calmer rate. With 25 percent more inventory on the market than last year for December, this continues to be a good time for buyers to find a home."
