Quick answer: Middle Tennessee real estate coverage, reported at the regional level rather than for one city. The archive carries the monthly market update for the region plus submarket and school-zone price reports, built from Realtracs MLS data for the period each post covers.
Middle Tennessee real estate coverage from Grant Hammond, in date order. The regional view exists because buyers routinely shop across county lines, and a Nashville-only figure misses where they actually end up. For the metro price series see the Nashville housing market archive.
Median and Average sale price, closed volume, inventory and days on market for the region and for individual counties. Submarket and school-zone price reports, including work on Franklin home prices by attendance boundary, described as district geography rather than any judgment about it. Relocation reads for buyers arriving from out of state and comparing several counties at once.
There is no single legal definition, which is why the useful answer is what a given source actually measures. This archive covers Davidson and Williamson as the core, then Rutherford, Sumner, Wilson, Maury, Robertson, Cheatham and Dickson as the surrounding counties buyers most often compare against them. Anyone quoting a Middle Tennessee figure should be asked which counties are in it, because adding or dropping one of the fast-growing outer counties moves a regional Median noticeably. Every post here states its own footprint for that reason.
Davidson and Williamson at the core, with Rutherford, Sumner, Wilson, Maury, Robertson, Cheatham and Dickson covered where buyers are comparing across them. Price bands run from under $500K through $2.5M and above, and every post states which counties its own figures cover.
