<\/figure>\n\n\n\nStart with the citywide number<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nEvery comparison needs a baseline. The Nashville market trends<\/a> data published by Movoto puts the median sale price at $588,000 for September 2026, with homes taking an average of 60 days to sell, up from 51 days a year earlier. There were 4,658 active listings in the city at the time of writing, and 1,161 of them had taken a price cut. That is roughly one in four.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThose three figures together describe a market that has slowed down without getting cheap. Sellers are waiting longer and trimming their asking prices more often, but the middle of the market still sits well above half a million dollars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It helps to hold that against what people here earn. Census Bureau estimates<\/a> put the city’s population at 721,074 as of July 2025 and the median household income at $77,371. The same data set shows a median value of $413,600 for owner-occupied homes across 2020 to 2024, which says a lot about the distance between what longtime owners are sitting on and what a buyer walking in today is asked to pay. Barely more than half of the city’s homes, 52.4 percent, are owner-occupied.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe east side: 37206, 37216 and 37207<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThe ZIP-level picture comes from the same source. Pull up homes for sale in Nashville<\/a> on Movoto and the page breaks Nashville<\/a> by ZIP codes with a median list price for each, which is where every neighborhood figure below comes from.<\/p>\n\n\n\nEast Nashville proper is 37206: Five Points, Lockeland Springs, the streets running down to Shelby Park. The median list price there is $669,900, comfortably above the city as a whole. Head north into 37216, which takes in Inglewood, and it eases to $609,950. Cross over toward the Dickerson Pike corridor and you are in 37207, home to Cleveland Park and Highland Heights, where the median drops to $499,999.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That is a spread of about $170,000 across three ZIP codes that share a lot of the same restaurants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Germantown and downtown: 37208, 37219 and 37201<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nGermantown, Salemtown and Buena Vista fall inside 37208, where the median list price is $599,900. Of all the popular close-in areas, this one tracks the citywide median most closely, which surprises people who assume a walkable historic district next to downtown must carry the highest price tag in town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Downtown itself is split between two small ZIP codes that behave very differently. In 37219 the median list price is $614,450. In 37201, which runs along the river, it jumps to $1,625,000. Both are dominated by condo buildings and both have relatively few listings at any one time, so a handful of penthouses can move the number a long way. Treat these two as a rough guide, nothing firmer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
South and west of downtown: 37203, 37212, 37204 and 37210<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThis is where the numbers climb. The Gulch, Midtown, Music Row and Edgehill share 37203, with a median list price of $775,000. Hillsboro Village and Belmont sit in 37212 at $949,900. Then comes 37204, which covers 12 South and Melrose and runs down toward Lipscomb, where the median list price is $1,250,000. That is more than double the citywide median sale price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The outlier on this side of town is 37210. It takes in part of Wedgewood-Houston and Chestnut Hill and stretches southeast from there, and its median list price is $499,900, almost identical to 37207 on the opposite side of the river. If you like the idea of living near the galleries and distilleries of Wedgewood-Houston and the 12 South numbers made you wince, this is the ZIP code to study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What the numbers leave out<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nA few cautions before you take any of this to a lender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The citywide figure is a sale price and the ZIP figures are list prices. Asking prices run higher than closing prices in a market where a quarter of listings have already been reduced, so the real gaps between neighborhoods are probably a little narrower than they look on paper. ZIP medians also blend condos, townhomes, new tall-and-skinny builds and century-old cottages into one number. A median of $599,900 in Germantown tells you where the middle is. It does not tell you what a three-bedroom house with a yard costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
