Williamson County Months of Supply: More Homes for Sale, but a Tighter Market
Williamson County months of supply eased to 4.22 as of the week ending July 18, 2026, even though active inventory is at a multi-year high. The Turner Victory Team tracks this every week, and the reason is simple: buyers are pulling homes off the market almost as fast as new ones arrive. So even with more homes for sale, the market is quietly tightening back toward sellers rather than loosening into the buyer’s market it looks like on the surface.
The picture is very different by price point. Under $1 million the market is mostly tight and seller-favored. Above $2 million there is real breathing room for buyers.
Williamson County months of supply is the number I keep coming back to this week, because it is telling a different story than the headline inventory count. Buyers have more homes to choose from than they have had in years. You would expect that to soften the market. Instead, the opposite is quietly happening underneath.

What Williamson County Months of Supply Is Telling Us Right Now
Months of supply measures how long it would take to sell every home on the market at the current pace of sales. Under three months is a strong seller’s market. Three to five months is roughly balanced. Above six months favors buyers. For national context, the Federal Reserve tracks the monthly supply of homes nationwide, which has run in a similar balanced band. The Turner Victory Team tracks Williamson County months of supply weekly, and right now it sits at 4.22.
Here is the part that matters. A couple of months ago, Williamson County months of supply peaked near 4.43. Since then it has eased and leveled off to 4.22, even as the total number of homes for sale climbed to a multi-year high. When inventory goes up but months of supply goes down, that is a market absorbing homes faster than it looks. The direction has quietly flipped back toward sellers.
Why Williamson County Months of Supply Is Tightening as Inventory Rises
Two forces are pulling Williamson County months of supply back down even as inventory rises. The first is demand. Turner Victory Team data from Tru Insights shows Williamson County new contracts running up by double digits year over year in April, May, and June. That is three straight months of strong demand, and it is absorbing the extra homes almost as fast as they list.
The second force is new listings. The Turner Victory Team has watched new seller activity in Williamson County slow over the past few weeks, a little earlier than the usual late-summer pattern. Fewer new homes entering the market while buyers stay active is exactly the mix that keeps Williamson County months of supply from climbing. If new listings keep sliding while demand holds, months of supply could hold flat or edge down into the fall rather than rising.
Mortgage rates are part of the backdrop. The 30-year fixed rate sits at 6.55%, which is still about two tenths of a point below where it was a year ago, though up from a low near 5.98% earlier this year. Rates are not the reason Williamson County months of supply is tightening, but steady rates are helping demand hold up.
Williamson County Months of Supply by Price Range
Williamson County months of supply does not tell one story across the whole county. Where you are priced changes everything, and the split is sharp.
| Price Range | Active Listings | Months of Supply | Market Read |
|---|---|---|---|
| Under $500K | 195 | 3.94 | Balanced |
| $500K-$599K | 80 | 2.71 | Seller’s Market |
| $600K-$699K | 83 | 2.80 | Seller’s Market |
| $700K-$799K | 160 | 4.09 | Balanced |
| $800K-$999K | 252 | 3.68 | Seller-Leaning |
| $1M-$1.49M | 303 | 3.18 | Seller’s Market |
| $1.5M-$1.99M | 206 | 4.46 | Balanced |
| $2M-$2.99M | 231 | 6.42 | Buyer’s Market |
| $3M+ | 239 | 11.20 | Buyer’s Market |
The clearest takeaway is that the real buyer’s market in Williamson County starts at $2 million, not $1 million. Above $2 million, Williamson County months of supply runs from 6.42 up to 11.20, which is genuine buyer territory with room to negotiate. The tightest brackets are $500,000 to $700,000 and $1 million to $1.49 million, all under 3.2 months. Most of the market below $2 million is balanced to seller-favored.

Market Analysis by John Turner, Creator of Tru Insights.
When it comes to Williamson County real estate, buyers have more choices now than they have in years. What does that mean for the market, for buyers, and for sellers? I am John Turner, team leader of the Turner Victory Team at Onward Real Estate. We bring you the Williamson County Real Estate Report every week, covering Franklin, Thompson’s Station, Brentwood, Nolensville, Fairview, and everything in between.
Here are the three things you need to know this week. First, buyers have more choices than in many years, with about 1,750 homes on the market. You would think that leads to a buyer’s market. But point two is that the market is quietly tightening, not loosening. Even with more inventory, we are pulling it off the market quicker than in past years, so our months of supply is actually shrinking. Third, the seasonal clock is running. This is the point of the year where things usually slow down, and not just buyer activity. Seller activity slows too. Fewer homes come on the market from mid July through the end of the year.
Right now the Turner Victory Team Market Health Score for Williamson County is 45, down from a little above 50. It has shifted slightly toward buyers, but we are still close to 50, which is exact balance. The 30-year rate is 6.55%, down about two tenths from last year but up from a low of 5.98% earlier this year.
Inventory has clearly risen. This year is running well above recent years. We are up about 10% from last year, from 1,587 to 1,750, and back two and three years ago we were near 1,135 and below 1,100. Normally rising inventory brings downward pressure on prices. Right now we are seeing more of a leveling off, with sellers giving more in concessions, depending on the price point.
Now months of supply. We peaked at about 4.43 a couple of months ago. Since then we have come down and leveled off at 4.22. Even though inventory is rising, the number of homes going under contract is rising too, which keeps months of supply from accelerating. We used to call six months a balanced market. Most of us now see four to five months as balanced, and six as a real buyer’s market.
The main thing we are watching is new listings. They have taken a dive over the past three weeks. We usually see that a couple of months from now, so it is early. If new listings drop much more, I could see the market shifting back closer to a seller’s market. Pendings are still holding fairly strong compared to last year.
On speed, four out of ten homes that actually sell go under contract in the first seven days. Overall that is about 41%. In the under $300,000 range only 11% go under contract the first week, while in the very high end some brackets are near two thirds, which are likely new construction pre sales. Homes that go under contract in the first seven days are getting about 99.8% of their true original list price. Between eight and 89 days you average about 97.3%. Past 90 days you tend to get a little over 90%, which usually means the home was priced too high to start.
Showings are trending down. About six weeks ago we had a small peak, and going back another eight to ten weeks we were near two and three quarters showings per listing per week. Now the average is under one and a half. Some price points are doing better than others.
So what does this mean? For buyers, you have a little more breathing room now that the spring rush is over, and less competition, especially with the school timing window closing. For sellers, you have another couple of weeks of strong buyer activity if things hold, and even as activity slows, new listings usually slow too, so you may have less competition. Even with buyer activity easing, it does not mean your home will not sell. If you need help navigating this market, reach out to me or our team. Thanks for tuning in, and make it a great week.
