Sumner County Market Update 2026: What We Publish by Town, and What We Withhold

Sumner County town by town as of mid-2026: what we publish, what we withhold, and why. We do not publish a median for Hendersonville or Portland, we withdrew Gallatin's median and inventory figures in September 2026, and we do not publish a year-over-year price direction for any single town. Every figure that remains is sourced and dated.

Sumner County as of mid-2026, stated honestly: for several of these towns the most useful thing we can publish is what we will not publish. We do not publish a Hendersonville median — the public sources disagree widely for the same month, and the most widely quoted figure for that month is a median list price rather than a closed-sale figure. We do not publish a Portland median or trend: re-checked in August 2026, the sources disagree with each other for the same month and on whether prices rose or fell year over year. In September 2026 we also withdrew Gallatin's median sale price and months-of-inventory figures — 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. Goodlettsville's median sale price was $373,000 in March 2026 (Redfin/Zillow). We also withdrew every Sumner town's days-on-market figure in September 2026: a town median 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. Verified current figures for White House were not available at publication — see the snapshot note below.

What is the Hendersonville/Gallatin median right now?

For Hendersonville we don't publish one. The price figure most often quoted for that month is a median list price, and the closed-sale medians published elsewhere for the same month disagree widely depending on source and property segment. For Gallatin we no longer publish one either: the $452,000 that used to sit here was a rounded restatement of a source figure, and we withdrew it in September 2026 rather than round a number we had not verified ourselves. For both towns we pull closed comparable sales from RealTracs (TSMLS) for the specific street and price band instead.

Read it straight: for two of Sumner County's three largest towns, the citywide price figures on offer from the public aggregators are not good enough to publish, and we would rather show the gap than fill it with a number we cannot defend.

What do we publish on Sumner County inventory?

Nothing, as of this update. Gallatin was the one Sumner town with a published months-of-inventory figure, and we withdrew it in September 2026 because the 1.6-month reading it rested on is contradicted by other public reads of the same market, and because it had been carrying a "tightest in the county" framing that no source we can check supports. Hendersonville, Goodlettsville, and Portland do not have a months-of-inventory figure sourced in current data either. For a supply read on a specific Sumner County submarket we pull active and closed counts from RealTracs directly.

TownMonths of InventoryAs ofSource
GallatinNot published — withdrawn September 2026——
HendersonvilleNot published — no sourced figure——
GoodlettsvilleNot published — no sourced figure——
PortlandNot published — no sourced figure——

That leaves Sumner County without a published months-of-supply figure in any town as of this post. It is a real gap, and naming it is more useful than a number that does not survive a second look.

Why we do not publish a town-level price direction in Sumner County

We do not publish a year-over-year price direction for any single Sumner County town, and the readings that used to appear here — Gallatin flat, Goodlettsville down — have been withdrawn. A town's monthly year-over-year change rests on too few closings to hold its sign: re-measured across six consecutive months on the same public city series, a Middle-TN town's year-over-year reading swings from firmly negative to firmly positive and back, so whoever picks the month picks the answer. Gallatin itself was the town that proved it. Direction is defensible at the county and regional level, where the Greater Nashville REALTORS reports built on RealTracs data publish a closing count beside every median.

White House has no verified current figures sourced as of this post and is omitted rather than estimated.

Snapshot: as of mid-2026, what Sumner County supports publishing is thinner than it looks. The Goodlettsville median sale price is what survives re-verification. No Sumner town's days-on-market figure is published, because a town median includes new-construction presales the MLS records at 0 days and can put two towns in the wrong order; the Gallatin median and inventory figures, the Hendersonville and Portland medians, and every town-level year-over-year reading are withheld with the reason stated. This is a snapshot — figures shift monthly; pull current numbers before you list or offer.

Middle Tennessee Markets With Medians Under $450K — 2026 Snapshot

Six Middle Tennessee towns currently post medians at or under roughly $450K, from Clarksville's $308,000 to Columbia's $449,990 — with every price figure sourced and dated from the team's market-data file. Two entries were withdrawn rather than republished: Portland, because our sources disagree on its median for the same month, and Gallatin's price and inventory figures, because neither survived re-verification in September 2026.

How Long Do Homes Take to Sell in Middle Tennessee? Why We No Longer Rank Towns on Days on Market

We no longer publish a days-on-market figure for individual Middle Tennessee towns, and this page no longer ranks towns against each other on market time. A town's median days on market counts new-construction presales, which the MLS records at 0 days, alongside resales, so two towns can rank in the wrong order. This page explains why, and what to look at instead.

Which Middle Tennessee Markets Are Cooling vs. Holding in 2026? Why We Withdrew Every Town-Level Trend

We no longer publish a year-over-year price direction for any single Middle Tennessee town. Re-measured month by month on the same public city series, a town's year-over-year reading changes sign — whoever picks the month picks the answer. This page now carries the town-level price levels we can source and date, says which towns we withhold and why, and explains where a direction is still defensible.
