Robertson County Housing Market Stays Among Middle Tennessee's Tightest Even as Third-Quarter Sales Fall 12%
The Robertson County housing market closed 12% fewer homes in the third quarter, but its 4.58 months of September supply was third-tightest in the region.
Franklin, Tenn. — October 15, 2026
The Robertson County housing market, north of Nashville and home to Springfield, White House and Greenbrier, closed fewer homes in the third quarter than a year earlier, yet its supply of homes for sale remains among the leanest in Middle Tennessee.
Robertson County housing market: third-quarter sales and prices
Closed sales of single-family homes and condominiums fell 12% to 350 in the July-through-September quarter, from 399 a year earlier, according to a quarterly report from Zeitlin Sotheby's International Realty based on Realtracs MLS data. The median sale price still rose about 3% to $390,000 from $379,000, and the average sale price rose to $431,000 from $417,000. Homes spent an average of 38 days on the market before a seller accepted an offer, up from 32 days a year earlier and nearly double the 20-day average in the third quarter of 2022. Inventory at the end of the quarter stood at 583 homes, about 1% below a year earlier.

The decline was concentrated below $500,000. Closings under $500,000 fell 17% to 278, though they still accounted for about 79% of the quarter's sales. Closings between $500,000 and $1 million rose 22% to 67, a shift in mix that helped lift the median even as total volume dropped. Sales above $1 million remained rare, with five in the quarter compared with nine a year earlier.
Robertson ranks third-tightest in the region
Monthly figures show that Robertson's supply has stayed comparatively lean. The county closed 107 residential sales in September at a median price of $375,000 and an average of $419,975, with homes averaging 25 days on the market and 4.58 months of supply, according to Realtracs data in a ten-county report by Nashville broker Grant Hammond of Compass, with a report date of Oct. 4. That made Robertson the third-tightest county in the region, behind Wilson at 4.22 months and Sumner at 4.32, and well below the regional figure of 5.41 months and Davidson County's 6.46. In Hammond's August report, Robertson ranked as the tightest county in the region at 4.17 months. Hammond defines supply below four months as favoring sellers, four to six months as balanced, and above six as favoring buyers, and he noted that early-month Realtracs counts are preliminary and are typically revised.
Springfield, White House and Greenbrier listings
Listing data from Realtor.com describe a balanced market. The site counted 800 active listings in Robertson County in September, with a median listing price of $436,990, a median sold price of $375,000 and a median of 56 days on the market, and it reported that homes sold for roughly their asking price on average. Conditions varied by town. Springfield, the county seat, had 257 homes listed at a median of $410,900, and White House had 237 listings, nearly 18% more than a year earlier, at a median of $439,974 and a median of 33 days on the market. Greenbrier had 121 listings at a median of $474,900, with homes taking a median of 71 days. Realtor.com's figures come from its own listing database and are measured differently from the Realtracs data, which is why its days-on-market figure is longer than the brokerage reports.
What higher rates mean for Robertson County buyers
The pullback in closings coincides with a sharp rise in borrowing costs. Freddie Mac's weekly survey put the average 30-year fixed rate at 7.40% on Oct. 8, up from 6.30% a year earlier. Hammond wrote that new contracts across the region fell 3% in September from a year earlier while active inventory rose 8%, and he described buyers as having more negotiating room than at any point this year, particularly on listings that have been on the market for more than 45 to 60 days. Robertson's lower supply suggests that leverage is thinner there than in Davidson, Montgomery or Dickson counties, while its median price remains below most of the region's larger counties.
