Owning 401 Cedar Forest Dr runs about $4,960/mo all-in, from the payment estimate above. Whether buying beats renting turns on how long you stay, how fast prices and rents move, and the rent you would otherwise pay. Turn on JavaScript to model those assumptions and find the year buying pulls ahead.

The Davidson County appraised value of $298,700 trails the $749,900 list price. If the next reassessment moves the appraised value toward today's market, estimated annual property tax would rise from about $2,077 now to roughly $5,216 (appraised value times the 25% Tennessee residential ratio times the Davidson County General Services District rate). Reassessment timing and the certified rate can change, and a purchase does not by itself trigger reassessment. Verify with the Davidson County Assessor of Property and Trustee. Estimate only.
