August was quieter than it’s been all year in McFerrin Park, Cleveland Park, and Highland Heights. Eleven closings. Only six new contracts signed. New listings dropped more than 50% from this time last year.

That context matters before you read any of the numbers.

When I went through each closing, the market split pretty cleanly by price. 3014 Edwin Circle listed at $624,900 and sold in one day. 1344 Stainback listed at $699,900 and closed in ten days at $695,000. Those sellers got what they wanted. Then 1320 Lischey sat for 109 days and closed $75,000 under asking. 1347 Pennock sat 39 days and closed $100,000 under asking. Both were priced over $1 million and both gave up real money waiting for a buyer.

The median closed at $637,450. Months of supply is at 7.09, which is the highest it’s been this year. There are 81 active listings right now and 20 of them have been sitting for 90 days or more.

Is it a good time to sell? Sub-$650,000 in these neighborhoods, yeah, things are still moving. Over $1 million, buyers have leverage and they’re using it. In between, it really does depend on the specific house and where it’s priced relative to what’s actually closed recently.

That’s a longer conversation than a caption can have. DM me if you want the real answer for your situation.

If you've driven Highway 96 through Franklin lately, you know the Harlin family farm. 375 acres of rolling pasture that's been part of the landscape for generations. Boyle Investment Company is now moving forward with plans to transform it into a mixed-use community with homes, retail, and office space.

Projects like this always bring mixed feelings. Franklin's growth has created real opportunity for homeowners who bought here ten or twenty years ago. It's also changed the character of places that felt like the country not long ago. Both things can be true.

For anyone tracking Williamson County values, developments of this scale tend to lift surrounding property prices well before the first building goes up. If you own nearby, it's worth knowing where you stand now versus where you might stand in two or three years. If you're looking to buy in the area, timing and location within the corridor will matter more than ever.

Happy to talk through what this could mean for your street specifically. No pressure, just a conversation.

When a farm that shaped a community becomes something new, what do we owe the place it used to be?

Project plans include hundreds of homes, a town square, boutique hotel and more.

If you've lived in or near Sylvan Park, you know McCabe Pub was more than a restaurant. It was the kind of place where the bartender knew your order and your kids' names. So when I saw the space is headed for a "drastic change" under the Lion's Share group, I had mixed feelings.

Change in Nashville isn't new. But the pace and scale of it in our neighborhood pockets is worth paying attention to, especially if you own a home nearby or you're thinking about buying in West Nashville. What replaces a beloved corner spot often signals where a neighborhood is heading next, for better or worse. Sylvan Park has been quietly shifting for years, and this feels like another marker on that timeline.

I'm curious to see what the new concept looks like, and honestly, I hope they respect what came before. The best operators in this city tend to build on the history of a place rather than paint over it.

When a longtime neighborhood staple turns over, does it make the area more desirable to you, or less?

The chef-owners of a Sylvan Park restaurant are out after four months, as the other shareholders plan to take the former McCabe Pub space in a new direction.

In-N-Out is quietly stacking chips in Middle Tennessee.

The latest: another land buy in Clarksville, part of a three-restaurant plan the California burger chain has been piecing together while most people were paying attention to other headlines.

Why does this matter if you're not a burger person? Because In-N-Out doesn't move fast, and they don't move without a lot of homework. When they plant a flag, it usually means the rooftops, the traffic counts, and the growth projections have already convinced people whose job is to be skeptical. That's a real signal about where Middle Tennessee is heading, especially north of Nashville.

Clarksville has been on this trajectory for a while now. Fort Campbell, Austin Peay, affordability compared to Davidson and Williamson, and steady job growth have been pulling families up I-24 for years. National retailers are just catching up to what a lot of locals already knew.

If you own property along that corridor, or you've been thinking about buying before the next wave prices you out, this is worth paying attention to.

When a company famous for patience suddenly moves quickly in your market, what do you think they see that the rest of us are missing?

Nashville just made an interesting move on the East Bank.

Lucy Kempf, who has led the Planning Department for the last several years, is stepping into a new role as the mayor's senior advisor on East Bank development. If you've been paying attention to what's happening across the river from downtown, that's a big deal. The East Bank is the largest reshaping of Nashville's urban core we'll see in our lifetime, and having someone with Kempf's planning background steering the ship signals the city wants continuity and long-term thinking, not just quick wins.

For anyone who owns property nearby, is thinking about buying in East Nashville, or watching how this transformation will ripple into neighborhood values, the leadership behind it matters as much as the blueprints. Decisions made in the next 24 months will shape traffic, density, greenspace, and housing for decades.

I'll be watching closely and I'm happy to talk through what this could mean for your street, your investment, or your next move.

If the East Bank becomes everything the city is hoping for, which Nashville neighborhoods do you think benefit most, and which ones get squeezed?

Nashville’s planning chief is taking on another role as a key leader for one of the city’s most “uniquely complex” endeavors.
