“The housing market is off to a great start for 2020,” said Kristy Hairston, Greater Nashville Realtors® president. With increased sales in January, a large number of pending sales and low mortgage rates, February looks to be another active month in the Greater Nashville Area.”

“Demand is outpacing inventory, which leads to higher prices. Working with a Realtor can help you determine your best housing option. Shopping for homes is not just price comparisons online; it’s understanding neighborhoods, school options, and evaluating what the right move is for you. More than an app, a Realtor® walks with you every step of the way in your homeownership journey. If you are interested in learning more about becoming a homeowner, contact a Realtor®,” added Hairston.
