📈 How Is the Real Estate Market in Brentwood, TN? Nashville’s Nik Gives the 2025 Update

How is the Brentwood, Tennessee real estate market in 2025?
In one word: strong.

While national markets have seen corrections, Brentwood continues to outperform — driven by low inventory, corporate relocations, and long-term demand for Williamson County schools and lifestyle.

As of Q4 2025, the median home price sits around $1.35 million, up roughly 4–5% year-over-year. Despite higher mortgage rates, homes continue to sell quickly when priced and presented well.

🏡 Brentwood Market Overview (Q4 2025)

Metric	Value	Trend (YoY)
Median Home Price	$1.35M	▲ +4.7%
Average Price/Sq Ft	$330	▲ +3%
Average Days on Market	24	▼ -10%
List-to-Sale Ratio	99%	➡ Stable
Active Listings	145	▲ +8%
Months of Inventory	2.1	➡ Balanced
Avg. Sale Price (Luxury Tier)	$2.4M	▲ +6%

Brentwood remains a seller-leaning balanced market — competitive, but not chaotic. Buyers are selective, and homes that show well still move quickly.

📊 Demand Drivers Keeping Brentwood Strong

1. Corporate Relocation & High-Income Employment

Major employers like Tractor Supply, LifePoint Health, LBMC, and GEODIS continue to attract executives and skilled professionals from high-cost states.
Most relocations come from California, Illinois, and New York, where buyers bring strong equity positions and cash liquidity.

2. Top-Ranked Schools & Safety

Williamson County Schools remain Tennessee’s best-rated district, keeping family demand high regardless of rates.
Brentwood’s low crime, manicured neighborhoods, and public amenities anchor its stability.

3. Limited Land Supply

Zoning restrictions and geographic constraints mean new development land is scarce. Supply remains tight, protecting home values long-term.

4. Cash-Heavy Market

Nearly 40% of Brentwood transactions in 2025 are cash, mitigating the impact of rising rates.
This insulated dynamic continues to sustain prices even as affordability tightens elsewhere.

🏠 Inventory Breakdown by Price Range

Price Range	% of Listings	Buyer Segment
$900K–$1.2M	28%	Entry Luxury & Relocating Families
$1.3M–$2M	45%	Core Brentwood Buyers
$2.1M–$3M+	20%	Executives & Cash Buyers
$3.5M–$6M+	7%	Ultra-Luxury Market

Homes under $1.2M remain in highest demand, while the $2M+ tier has shown the fastest appreciation due to scarcity and strong relocation interest.

💵 Mortgage Rates & Buyer Activity

With 30-year fixed rates fluctuating between 6.5%–7.0%, some buyers have delayed moves — but in Brentwood, that slowdown has been offset by incoming relocation buyers and local move-ups.

Key trends:

Adjustable-rate and 10-year fixed loans have become more common among executives.
Rate buydowns and closing credits are standard negotiation tools.
Homes priced strategically are still receiving multiple offers within 2–3 weeks.

🏘️ Neighborhood Highlights

Neighborhood	Avg. Price (2025)	YoY Trend
The Governors Club	$2.9M	▲ +6%
Annandale	$2.3M	▲ +5%
Taramore	$1.8M	▲ +4%
Raintree Forest	$1.25M	▲ +3%
Bonbrook	$1.45M	▲ +4%

Luxury neighborhoods continue to outperform mid-tier markets due to limited turnover and steady inbound demand.

🧭 Seller Insights

If you’re considering selling:

Proper pricing within 2% of market value is crucial.
Professional staging and marketing can boost sale price by 5–8%.
Off-market networking remains powerful — many luxury homes sell before hitting MLS.

Homes that appear “overpriced” for more than 21 days risk price erosion due to buyer perception, even in strong conditions.

🧠 Buyer Insights

Buyers in Brentwood should focus on long-term value, not short-term timing.

You’ll benefit from:

Strong resale predictability
Excellent neighborhood retention
Safe appreciation rates (3–5% per year on average)

Even if rates drop in 2026, prices will likely rise in tandem — meaning today’s well-bought home could outperform a future “deal.”

📈 Forecast for 2026

Economists and local analysts predict:

Price Growth: +3% to +5%
Inventory: Slight uptick from new construction completions
Luxury Demand: Remains steady from corporate and cash buyers
Rental Market: Tight, with short-term and corporate leases performing well

Bottom line: Brentwood will remain one of Tennessee’s most stable high-end markets.
