Green Hills Homes for Sale: A Year-Over-Year Market Report (2026)

By Grant HammondBroker, BDG Partners at Compass REUpdated June 19, 2026

This is the year-over-year read on Green Hills homes for sale, built from what actually closed rather than what sellers were asking. Green Hills and Forest Hills sit next to each other in the 37215 corridor southwest of downtown, and over the last two years they have traded as one of the steadiest high-price submarkets I cover. I pulled every residential closing in the combined area for the trailing 24 months and split it into two equal twelve-month periods so the comparison is clean. The short version: volume rose, the median moved up modestly, price per square foot held flat, and homes still cleared in about two weeks.

How did the Green Hills and Forest Hills home market change year over year?

Across the most recent twelve months (June 2025 through June 2026), 140 homes closed in the combined Green Hills and Forest Hills footprint, up from 126 in the prior twelve months, an increase of about 11 percent. The median closing price rose to $1,687,500 from $1,625,000, a gain of 3.8 percent. Median price per square foot was essentially flat, $436 versus $438. Closings ranged from $145,000 at the entry end to just over $9.1 million at the top, against a prior-year span of $185,000 to $7.35 million.

That combination, more sales and a higher median on flat price per square foot, tells you the area absorbed more inventory without bidding up the cost of space. The median moved because the mix of what sold shifted slightly larger, not because buyers paid more per foot.

Why did the median rise while price per square foot stayed flat?

Because this is really two markets reported under one zip code, and the single median sits between them. The detached single-family market did most of the volume and firmed slightly. The attached and condo segment is far smaller and softened. The area-wide median you see quoted is a blend of the two, which is why it can rise even when the segment a specific buyer or seller cares about is moving the other way.

The detached single-family market carried the gain: 121 closings in the last year at a median of $1,891,000 and $453 per square foot, up from 107 closings and $1,850,000 a year earlier, a firming of 2.2 percent. The attached and condo segment held flat on volume at 19 closings in each period, but its median ran a very different level and direction, $340,000 this year versus $370,000 last year, a decline of 8.1 percent.

When I price a home here, I never use the area-wide median as a comp. I work inside the right segment, because a $1.9 million detached house and a $340,000 condo are not in the same comp set even on the same street.

How fast are homes selling in 37215, and did that change?

Pace barely moved. The median days on market was 16 this year versus 15 last year, so correctly-priced homes are still clearing in roughly two weeks. The detached segment ran a 16-day median and the condo and townhome segment ran 23 days, which is the normal pattern: the larger, higher-priced detached pool turns slightly faster here than the smaller attached pool. The longer-tail listings in the data are almost all either original-condition homes or top-of-market estates where the qualified buyer pool is small. When a 37215 listing crosses 60 days without a price adjustment, the market has usually already answered the pricing question.

How does the school attendance zone factor into pricing here?

This is the question buyers ask most, so here is the housing-characteristic version of the answer. Metro Nashville Public Schools assigns each parcel to an attendance zone, and those boundaries do not follow neighborhood names or zip lines. Two houses on the same street can fall into different zones. Because a measurable share of buyers in 37215 filter their search by a specific attendance zone, parcels inside a given zone often draw from a different buyer pool than parcels one boundary over, and that shows up as price dispersion across an otherwise similar set of homes.

In practice the attendance-zone assignment is a property characteristic you verify per parcel, the same way you verify lot size or flood designation. I do not rank or characterize any school. I tell sellers the zone line is a documented factor in how their home will be compared, and I tell buyers to confirm the exact assignment for any specific address directly with MNPS before they write an offer, because the published zone for an address can change with rezoning.

What does the current Green Hills homes for sale inventory look like heading into summer 2026?

As of the data pull there were 69 active and coming-soon listings across the combined area, with a median list price of $2,495,000 and a span from $210,000 to $28.5 million, plus 19 homes under contract. That active median sits well above the closed median, which is the usual signal that the top of the market is more heavily represented in standing inventory than it is in completed sales. The homes that move quickly continue to be the correctly-priced, updated ones in the middle of the range; the highest-priced listings trade on their own timeline with a smaller, more patient buyer pool.

What am I watching in Green Hills and Forest Hills next?

Three things. First, whether the detached single-family median holds its modest gain as summer inventory rises after the spring peak. Second, whether the condo and townhome segment keeps softening or stabilizes, because that segment is the entry point into 37215 and it sets the floor. Third, whether the standing high-end inventory, with its $2.49 million list median, sees price adjustments or simply sits, which is what usually happens when the top of the market gets ahead of itself.

If you are weighing a move into 37215 this year, run the comparison against neighboring submarkets first. The same budget reads differently here than it does in Belle Meade, where lots are larger and turnover is lower, or in Brentwood in Williamson County, where new construction adds supply that built-out Forest Hills structurally lacks.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a home in Green Hills or Forest Hills cost right now?

Over the most recent twelve months, 140 homes closed across the combined area at a median of $1,687,500, up 3.8 percent from $1,625,000 the prior year. The figure blends two segments: detached single-family homes closed at a median near $1,891,000, while attached homes and condos closed at a median near $340,000. Use the segment that matches the property, not the area-wide median.

Why are the house and condo medians in 37215 so far apart?

Because the combined area reports two different product types under one zip code. Over the last twelve months detached single-family homes closed at a median of $1,891,000 across 121 sales, while attached homes and condos closed at a median of $340,000 across 19 sales. The two segments also moved in opposite directions year over year: detached rose 2.2 percent while attached and condo fell 8.1 percent. A single area-wide median sits between them and describes neither well, which is why pricing and comps should stay inside the matching segment.

Are home prices in 37215 going up or down?

Year over year, the detached single-family median rose 2.2 percent and the area-wide median rose 3.8 percent, while median price per square foot was flat at roughly $436. The attached and condo segment softened 8.1 percent. So the market is steady to modestly higher on the single-family side and slightly softer on the attached side.

How long do homes in Green Hills and Forest Hills take to sell?

The median was 16 days over the last twelve months, essentially unchanged from 15 the year before. Updated, correctly-priced homes clear faster; original-condition or over-priced listings sit longer. A listing that passes 60 days without a price adjustment is signaling that the asking price is ahead of the market.

Does the school attendance zone change how a home here is valued?

Attendance-zone assignment is a documented factor in how homes in 37215 are compared, because a share of buyers filter their search by a specific zone, which affects the buyer pool for a given parcel. The assignment is a per-parcel characteristic, and boundaries can change with rezoning. Confirm the exact zone for any specific address with Metro Nashville Public Schools before making an offer.

Sources, methodology, and disclosure

Data sources. Figures reference a RealTracs MLS residential export for the combined Green Hills and Forest Hills area, primarily zip 37215 with a small number of adjoining 37220 and 37205 parcels. The dataset covers 266 closed sales with closing dates from June 18, 2024 through June 15, 2026. It was split into two equal trailing-twelve-month periods for the year-over-year comparison. Median, range, price-per-square-foot, and days-on-market figures are computed across the settled set in each period and within each property-type segment; active and under-contract listings are reported only in the current-inventory snapshot, not in the closed metrics.
