Nashville, TN

Nashville sits at a median home value of $436,355 as of the latest Zillow read, down 3.2% year-over-year — a meaningful softening that’s putting deal flow back on the table for cash buyers.

The sale-to-list ratio sits at 0.979, and 69.9% of closed sales are landing below list. That’s a clear buyer’s market — sellers are negotiating, and motivated-seller direct mail is converting at rates we haven’t seen since 2014.

Rents are workable but not generous. ZORI of $1,787/mo against a $436k median gives a 4.91% gross yield — average for the metro tier, requiring tight underwriting on any hold.

Median days-on-market is running around 33 days against 3,805 active listings. Pace is moderate — neither chaos nor stagnation. Standard wholesaling cadences work here.

MDR’s composite investor score for Nashville is 69/100 based on rent yield, sale-to-list discount, motivated-seller proxies, and DOM. Solid mid-tier. A disciplined operator can build a real book here; a tourist will get hurt.
