Sales Slow Regionally in September
Several Counties See Increased Sales through Third Quarter

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Oct. 8, 2018) – There were 3,258 home closings in the Greater Nashville Region reported for the month of September, according to figures provided by Greater Nashville REALTORS®. This figure represents an 8 percent decrease compared to the 3,544 closings in September 2017.

Data for the third quarter of 2018 showed 11,031 closings, down 2.4 percent from the 11,299 closings during the same period of 2017.

“Sales slowing is typical for this time of year, though this decrease can be reflected by the limited number of entry-level single-family homes entering the market, even with a 32.7 percent rise in inventory for the region since September of last year,” said Greater Nashville REALTORS® President Sher Powers. “The larger inventory offers a great opportunity for buyers and investors to negotiate and avoid multi-offer scenarios while encouraging sellers to be mindful of pricing and features offered.”

“When looking at a breakdown of sales by county for the year through the third quarter, Davidson County shows consistent numbers, with only a half of 1 percent drop-in single-family sales and a gain of 2 percent in condo sales. Dickson, Maury, Robertson and Rutherford counties all showed solid increases in sales,” added Powers.
