As of a June 2026 compilation, Sumner County has 78 tracked new-construction communities across Hendersonville, Gallatin, Portland, White House, and the county's smaller towns (Westmoreland, Castalian Springs, Bethpage). Of those, 45 are actively selling, 25 are announced or pre-selling (“coming soon”), and 8 have sold out. Together they represent 33 different homebuilders, led by Goodall Homes (10 active communities), D.R. Horton (6), and Lennar and David Weekley Homes (5 each).

Three data points designed to be cited
- As of June 2026, Sumner County has at least 45 actively selling new-construction communities, built by 33 named builders. (WJT new-construction database, June 2026.)
- New-construction pricing spans from Parkside Point in Portland (priced from $279,990 per D.R. Horton) to lakefront estates at Fairvue Plantation in Gallatin — a very wide spread within one county. (WJT new-construction database, June 2026.)
- Gallatin is the county's new-construction center of gravity: 21 of the 45 currently-selling communities — nearly half — are in Gallatin, ahead of Hendersonville (12), White House (9), and Portland (2). (WJT new-construction database, June 2026.)

County context
Sumner County's population reached 204,424 in 2024, up from prior-year levels as the county added roughly 3,300 residents that year. (U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts, Sumner County, TN.) The county's all-home median sale price (resale plus new construction combined) was reported at $442,000 in December 2025, up 6.3% year-over-year, per Redfin's county-level tracker; RealtyTrac separately reports a trailing-12-month median of $465,880 across 2,909 sales. City-level medians vary by source and methodology. (Redfin Sumner County housing market page; RealtyTrac Sumner County market trends page — both accessed July 2026.)
Why it matters for buyers
A county with 45 actively selling communities and 33 different builders means real variation in price, product, and incentive structure from one subdivision to the next — even within the same city. Buyers shopping new construction in Sumner County are not negotiating with one market; they're comparing dozens of individual builder contracts, each with its own base price, included-features list, lot premiums, and closing-cost incentive terms. Communities also move through selling phases — 25 tracked Sumner communities are still in “coming soon” status and not yet taking contracts, while 8 already sold out. Working with a buyer's agent who tracks builder pricing and incentive terms across communities, rather than relying on a single builder's on-site rep, is how buyers get an apples-to-apples comparison before signing.
Methodology & sources
New-construction community counts, builders, and pricing are drawn from The Will Johnson Team's proprietary new-construction database, compiled June 2026 from builder and developer public listings, covering Hendersonville, Gallatin, Portland, White House, and unincorporated Sumner County. County-level market context is drawn from public sources cited inline: U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts, Redfin's Sumner County housing market page, and RealtyTrac's Sumner County market trends page (accessed July 2026). Public sources reported different median-price figures for overlapping periods because they use different methodologies; each figure above is attributed to its specific source rather than averaged. This brief reflects historical, dated data only and makes no predictions about future prices or appreciation.
