Brentwood TN Home Prices: What Homes Are Selling For in 2026

By Grant HammondBroker, BDG Partners at Compass REUpdated June 25, 2026

Brentwood closed 461 homes over the last six months at a median price of $1,320,000, the highest median of any submarket I track in Middle Tennessee. But the median hides the real story. The same six months produced a $373,000 closing in an established 1980s subdivision and a $4.32 million median in a new-construction enclave delivered in 2024. Brentwood is not one market; it is two markets sharing one ZIP code, separated almost entirely by build era.

If you are tracking Brentwood TN home prices, start with my Brentwood homes overview for live inventory. This post is the closed-data companion to that page, and a read worth putting next to my Nashville housing market analysis across the rest of the metro.

What do Brentwood TN home prices look like right now?

Across the trailing six months, 461 homes settled in Brentwood at a median closed price of $1,320,000 and a median of $346 per square foot, on a median home size of about 3,809 finished square feet and a median sale-to-list ratio of 98.3%. The middle half of those sales ran from about $810,000 to $2.1 million, the widest interquartile band of any submarket I cover. The distribution shows why: Brentwood carries meaningful weight at both the entry and the top.

Why does Brentwood split into two price markets?

The split is build era, and the subdivision data makes it unmistakable. Established subdivisions let a buyer into the Brentwood ZIP under $1 million; new-construction enclaves command roughly double the price per square foot and run well into the millions. That gap, not location, is what splits the market in two.

When I advise a buyer here, the first question is not neighborhood, it is whether they are buying new construction or established, because that single choice decides which half of the market their budget competes in.

What is the Brentwood top end doing?

The top end is its own market with its own buyer pool, and right now it is slow. The live single-family snapshot above reads as a buyer’s market at about 11.6 months of supply, and that weight sits disproportionately above $2 million. The highest closings this cycle included a $9.33 million new build in Bella Collina and an $8.52 million home in Witherspoon. Homes above roughly $2 million trade on a longer timeline with a smaller, more patient buyer pool; the days-on-market figures in the priciest new-construction enclaves run from the mid-30s into the 60s. A $4 million home is not slow because it is mispriced, it is slow because the pool of buyers at that number is small and deliberate.

How does Brentwood compare to Franklin right now?

Brentwood and Franklin are the two anchors of the Williamson County market, and they trade at nearly identical price per square foot. The entire difference in median is house and lot: Brentwood’s median home is larger, on a bigger lot, about 10 miles south of downtown against Franklin’s 20.

Franklin offers a wider entry-to-mid range and more total inventory; Brentwood offers the shorter commute and a deeper bench of large new-construction homes, with a higher floor on price. The companion read on the Franklin market breaks that submarket down the same way. Talk through which submarket fits your budget in a 15-minute call.

How does Williamson County sit against Davidson County?

At the county level, Brentwood is the high end of the high end. Davidson moves nearly twice the volume because it is a far larger, denser market, but it trades at roughly half the Williamson median because its housing stock is older, smaller, and on tighter lots.

In 25 years brokering Middle Tennessee, the durable characteristics that hold Brentwood demand have been consistent: large lots, the short commute corridor north into Nashville and the Cool Springs employment core, and a supply of new-construction homes that built-out Davidson neighborhoods structurally cannot add. School attendance-zone boundaries are a documented per-parcel characteristic buyers verify, the same way they verify lot size or flood designation, never a ranking or suitability claim.

What am I watching in Brentwood for the rest of the year?

Here is what I am watching. First, whether the new-construction luxury pipeline in Rosebrooke, Governors Club, and Hampton Reserve keeps delivering, because that supply sets the top of the market and is what pushes single-family months-of-supply into buyer’s-market territory. Second, how the established sub-$1 million subdivisions absorb, since they are the only entry into the Brentwood ZIP and demand for them is the broadest in the market. Third, whether the price-per-foot gap between new construction and established stock holds near two-to-one.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a home in Brentwood, TN cost right now?

Over the trailing six months, 461 homes closed in Brentwood at a median price of $1,320,000 and $346 per square foot, on a median size of about 3,809 square feet. The middle half ran from roughly $810,000 to $2.1 million, with established subdivisions providing the entry under $1 million and new-construction enclaves running from $1.58 million to $4.32 million.

Why is Brentwood so much more expensive than most of Nashville?

The difference is house size, lot size, and build era. Brentwood’s $1,320,000 median runs about three times Davidson County’s $475,000 median because Brentwood carries larger homes on larger lots and a deep new-construction segment. On price per square foot the gap narrows to $346 against $275.

Can you buy a home in Brentwood under $1 million?

Yes, in the established subdivisions. Brentwood Pointe has closed in the $330,000 to $517,000 range on 1980s construction, Mooreland Estates near $510,000, and Courtside at Southern Woods near $920,000 on mid-2000s homes. The sub-$1 million inventory is almost entirely established resale; new construction starts well above that.

What is the difference between Brentwood and Franklin for buyers?

Both are Williamson County markets at nearly identical price per square foot ($346 vs $345), but Brentwood’s median is higher ($1,320,000 vs $949,995) because it carries larger homes on larger lots and sits closer to Nashville. Franklin offers a wider entry-to-mid range and more inventory.

Sources, methodology, and disclosure

Data sources. All-residential closed-sale counts, medians, price-per-square-foot, price-band distribution, and the sale-to-list ratio reference the Grant Hammond market engine trailing six-month closed-sale dataset (imported June 25, 2026; Brentwood n=461, all home types, zip 37027). Sale-to-list is the median of sale price divided by list price across those 461 closings (98.3%). The single-family market-pace figures shown in the live market block above (526 active, 271 single-family closings, about 11.6 months of supply) are filtered to single-family only via RealTracs IDX and will differ from the all-residential closed count. Per-subdivision build-year and days-on-market figures reference the RealTracs MLS May 2026 trailing-window pull. Median is used as the headline statistic because a heavy upper tail of high-value sales distorts the average. All figures are derived from these datasets; no values are estimated or invented.
