About This Data

Murfreesboro currently has 3.9 months of supply and an average Tru Days on Market of 52 days. Based on those figures, this market is roughly balanced between buyers and sellers.

Tru Days on Market tracks the total cumulative time a property has been listed across every relist and cancellation. Unlike standard MLS days on market, Tru DOM does not reset to zero when a home is relisted at a lower price.

% of Original Price reflects the average sale price as a percentage of the very first list price before any reductions or relistings. A number below 100% indicates sellers are accepting less than their original ask.

What Makes Murfreesboro One of Tennessee’s Most Sought-After Cities


Murfreesboro sits at the geographic center of Tennessee and carries a history that goes all the way back to 1811 — it even served as the state capital from 1818 to 1826. Today it is the sixth-largest city in Tennessee with a population over 170,000 and growing at roughly 2% per year, making it one of the fastest-growing cities in the entire Southeast. The Murfreesboro TN real estate market reflects that momentum at every price point.

What draws buyers here is the combination of Nashville-area opportunity with a lower cost of living, strong schools, and a quality of life that is hard to match. The 34-mile commute to downtown Nashville puts you close to everything Music City offers without the higher price tag. With Middle Tennessee State University anchoring the community, there is an energy here that keeps things moving forward.

From the historic downtown square and Stones River National Battlefield to the greenway trails and a dining scene that gets better every year, Murfreesboro offers the kind of lifestyle where you do not have to choose between convenience and character. Our team has helped buyers and sellers navigate Murfreesboro TN real estate since 2000, and we update the data on this page every week so you always have the latest picture.

The answer is different for every homeowner.

The current median price in Murfreesboro is $489,997. Our Tru Insights data tracks original list prices and total time on market across relists — giving sellers a more accurate picture than standard MLS data. We can run a no-obligation market analysis for your specific property so you can make a decision based on real numbers.
The current Tru Days on Market average in Murfreesboro is 52. Standard MLS data often understates this number because it resets when a listing is cancelled and relisted under a new MLS number. Our Tru Insights platform tracks the original list date and total cumulative time on market across every relist, so the number you see here reflects how long homes are actually taking to sell. Time on market varies significantly by price point, neighborhood, condition, and pricing strategy.
Historically, spring (March through May) sees the highest buyer activity in Murfreesboro. However, the best time to sell your specific home depends on your local competition, your pricing strategy, and your personal timeline — not just the calendar. Some neighborhoods perform well year-round while others are more seasonal. Our weekly market data tracks active inventory, new listings, and showing activity by ZIP code so we can help you identify when your specific market is most favorable.
Murfreesboro and Franklin are both popular Nashville-area cities, but they serve different buyer profiles. The median home price in Murfreesboro is currently $489,997 — significantly lower than Franklin where the median typically exceeds $700,000. Murfreesboro offers a wider range of price points, more new construction options, and two school districts. Franklin offers a more established downtown, closer proximity to Nashville’s west side, and Williamson County schools. Both have strong appreciation histories. The 30-minute drive between the two via TN-840 means buyers often compare both markets.
Tru Insights is a proprietary market analysis built by the Turner Victory Team. Standard MLS data resets a home’s days on market and list price every time it is relisted under a new MLS number. Tru Insights tracks the original list price and total time on market across every relist, giving Murfreesboro TN real estate buyers and sellers a more complete and accurate view of local market conditions. The data updates every week from our Clarifi analytics platform and is available on every page of our website.
