Nashville is not one market. East Nashville, 12South, Sylvan Park, Green Hills and Donelson behave differently enough that a price per square foot from one tells you almost nothing about another, and the thing that decides which one suits you is usually commute and school zoning rather than the house itself.
The pattern of the last decade has been infill: a single lot cleared and two tall-and-skinnies put up in its place. Some are beautifully built. Some are not, and the difference is not visible from the street. Jim spent his career in electrical contracting and home-building sales before he sold real estate, which is the specific reason to walk one of these with him — he can tell you which corners were cut by looking at the panel and the framing.
The other Nashville question is whether you should be in Davidson County at all. Property taxes, school zoning and price per foot all change the moment you cross into Williamson, and for a lot of buyers the honest answer is that they want Franklin or Brentwood and have not looked yet.
People looking at Nashville usually look at these too.
- Belle Meade The city's oldest money, and a market where very little comes up and almost nothing is comparable.
- Brentwood Large lots, established money, and the market Jim and Lisa track most closely.
- Nolensville New construction and young families, and still one of the fastest-changing places in the county.
