These numbers change every month, so call or write me for the latest figures, or browse the current homes for sale.

In September 2026, the median days on market for detached site built homes sold in ZIP codes 37206 and 37216 was 14, so half of those sales showed 14 days on market or less. Ask me for the current numbers before you set a timeline.

East Nashville addresses are served by Metro Nashville Public Schools, and the zoned school depends on the exact address, not the neighborhood name. Enter the address in the MNPS Zone Finder, or call the MNPS Family Information Center at (615) 259 4636. MNPS also has optional schools that students can apply to. I do not rate or rank schools, so please confirm zoning with MNPS directly before you buy.

It depends on the property. A detached house on its own lot may have no HOA at all, while condos, townhomes, and HPR homes (horizontal property regime, where two or more homes share one parcel) are often set up with an owners association that charges dues and sets rules. HPR homes are a real part of this market: in September 2026, 16 of the 67 detached homes that closed in ZIP codes 37206 and 37216 were HPR, per Realtracs. Dues vary by association, so check the listing and ask for the HOA documents before you write an offer. I am glad to help you get them.

The Davidson County Assessor of Property sets the appraised value, and residential property is assessed at 25 percent of that value. For tax year 2026, Metro Council kept the combined rate at $2.814 per $100 of assessed value for property in the Urban Services District ($2.782 General Services District plus $0.032 Urban Services District). Property only in the General Services District pays $2.782. For example, a home appraised at $500,000 is assessed at $125,000, and at $2.814 the yearly tax is $3,517.50. The appraised value is not always the price you pay, so look up the actual bill with the Metro Trustee. The next countywide reappraisal is scheduled for 2028.

When I price a house here, I look at square footage, age, condition, lot size, zoning, whether the home sits on its own lot or is part of an HPR, and whether it is in a historic or conservation overlay. In September 2026, detached site built homes sold in ZIP codes 37206 and 37216 had a median of $346 per square foot, and their year built ran from 1899 to 2026, so a renovated older cottage and a new build on the same street can sell at very different prices. That is why I compare each house to recent nearby sales instead of a neighborhood average.

I look at current competition more than the calendar. In ZIP codes 37206 and 37216, Realtracs shows 57 detached site built closings in July 2026, 45 in August, and 51 in September. As of October 13, 2026, the East Nashville search I track had 222 active listings and 66 under contract. The right time depends on your next move and how your house compares to what is for sale right now, so call me and we can look at it together.

Write me from my contact page or call me at (615) 767 4551. I will compare your house to recent East Nashville sales in Realtracs and send you a free home value, along with the sales I used so you can see how I got there. There is no obligation to list with me.

It depends on the zoning and on whether you live there. Metro Codes requires a permit for every short term rental property. New permits for homes that are not owner occupied are not issued on lots zoned R, RS, RM, or AR2A, and existing permits in those zones cannot be transferred when the property sells. An owner occupied permit requires the owner to live at the property as a primary residence, and residential zones that allow one or two units get only one permit per lot. Check any address with the Short Term Rental Property Search before you buy, and ask me to look at a property with you.

It might be. Historic zoning overlays in East Nashville include the Edgefield Historic Preservation Zoning Overlay and Neighborhood Conservation Zoning Overlays such as Lockeland Springs East End, Eastwood, Inglewood Place, and Eastdale. The Metro Historic Zoning Commission reviews new construction, additions, demolition, and relocation in a conservation overlay. In Edgefield, exterior changes such as new siding or a fence are reviewed too. The overlays do not change how a property can be used. Look up any parcel in Metro's Parcel Viewer, and talk to me before you plan work on a house you are buying.
