Nashville’s real estate pulse this week beats with an oddly measured intensity, as numbers quietly edge upward on the charts—not a wild seller’s circus, but a resilient, unruffled climb that makes everyone take notice. According to Redfin, the median sale price for homes across Nashville in July 2025 nudged up 0.8% year over year to $477,000, despite homes taking longer to sell than last summer—62 days on average versus the previous 52. Volume is inching higher, though; 980 homes sold this past July, up from 904 the year before, showing that while buyers are pickier and more deliberate, they are certainly not gone.
Zooming in on East Nashville, it remains a magnetic, artsy corner where prices have climbed 4% year over year to a median $600,000, with homes selling after about 49 days on the market. Compared to brisker years, that might seem sluggish, but the area’s cultural cachet remains strong, and homes deemed “hot” can still snag a contract in under 30 days—think of it as the real estate version of selling out concert tickets on presale.
Still, the backdrop to all this is the relentless hum about Tennessee homes being “overvalued.” A recent Fitch Ratings report summarized in the Tennessean says Tennessee’s prices are running at double the national overvaluation average. Experts and local panels continue warning that waived appraisals and chronic inventory gaps are helping to inflate prices, though with buyers trickling back after an interest-rate pause, there’s little expectation of a price retreat any time soon.
Meanwhile, investors are shapeshifting the market. Realtor.com reports a surge in purchases by institutional and “mega” investors, particularly tempting in markets with robust rental yields. Nashville remains attractive, though recent analysis suggests Memphis has pulled slightly ahead as a bargain for investors. The ongoing investor appetite in both cities is less about house flipping and more about securing rents, now 15% higher than pre-pandemic, with cash buyers less affected by high rates, making the rental side of the equation stickily competitive.
Looking to the multifamily sector, anticipation is building for the InterFace Nashville Multifamily Conference this November, where insiders will hash out developer strategies, affordable housing trends, and what’s up next for the city’s rental landscape. Expect much chatter about the pipeline for 2026 and beyond, as Nashville’s population growth keeps developers and planners anxiously working overtime to keep up.
No wild swings, no sudden jolts—Nashville’s market for now is steady, firm, and maybe even a touch smug. Buyers face a competitive field, especially for starter homes and in-crowd zip codes, while would-be sellers watch metrics like a chef watches a soufflé—careful and hopeful. As for those waiting for a crash, the experts say you might be waiting a while.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
