As of spring 2026, six Middle Tennessee towns posted a median sale price at or under roughly $450K: Clarksville ($308,000, March 2026), Goodlettsville ($373,000, March 2026), Lebanon ($390,000, May 2026), Murfreesboro ($405,000, June 2026), Smyrna ($412,253, May 2026 sale price), and Columbia ($449,990, April–May 2026). Two towns are deliberately absent. Portland was listed here until August 2026, but we withdrew its figures: the public sources disagree with each other for the same month, and on whether its prices rose or fell year over year. Gallatin's median and months-of-inventory figures were withdrawn in September 2026 for the same family of reason — the median we carried was a rounded restatement of a source figure, and the supply reading is contradicted by other public reads of the same market. Figures below are carried directly from public-aggregator snapshots (Redfin, Zillow, Movoto, and local sources) with an inline source and as-of date on every number — no figure is estimated or predicted, and we do not publish a year-over-year price direction for any single town.

What do we publish on inventory in these markets?
Among these towns, Columbia publishes approximately 6.9 months of inventory (April–May 2026) and Clarksville reports 3.95 months (March 2026). We withdrew two inventory readings in September 2026: Gallatin's, because it is contradicted by other public reads of the same market, and Murfreesboro's, because the figure we carried turned out to be a Rutherford County reading from an earlier month sitting in a city record. Smyrna, Lebanon, and Goodlettsville do not have a specific city-level inventory number published in our source data.
| Town | Months of Inventory | As of | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gallatin | Not published — withdrawn September 2026 (contradicted by other public reads) | June 2026 | — |
| Murfreesboro | Not published — withdrawn September 2026 (a Rutherford County reading from an earlier month) | June 2026 | — |
| Clarksville | 3.95 mo | March 2026 | Redfin / Zillow / Houzeo |
| Columbia | Approximately 6.9 mo | April–May 2026 | Redfin / Zillow / Movoto |
| Smyrna | [not published] | June 2026 | Zillow / Redfin |
| Lebanon | [not available for Lebanon specifically; Tennessee statewide averaged about 5 months as of May 2026] | May 2026 | Redfin / Zillow |
| Goodlettsville | [not published] | March 2026 | Redfin / Zillow |
Why don't you compare these markets on days on market?
Why there are no town days-on-market figures here: a town's median days on market counts new-construction presales, which the MLS records at 0 days, alongside resales, so two towns set side by side can rank in the wrong order. We withdrew those figures in September 2026. For a specific home, we pull closed comparable sales for that street and price band instead.
Each figure above carries its own source and date; figures shift monthly — pull current numbers before you list or offer.
