Your Murfreesboro Real Estate Market Update, Every Sunday.


When mortgage rates shift or inventory tightens, the impact hits Rutherford County differently than it hits Dallas or Phoenix. A national headline about a slowing market might mean the opposite is true here. And in a market where roughly one in three homes listed does not find a buyer within 90 days, the difference between good data and no data is often thousands of dollars.

Every Murfreesboro real estate market update on this page is built from local MLS data, showing data, and mortgage application trends, not national averages. Our team publishes a new Murfreesboro real estate market update every Sunday so you always know where things stand. Whether you are planning to sell, watching rates before you buy, or just staying informed, these updates give you a real edge.

Murfreesboro Home Buying Power Dropped 6% Since February

This week’s Murfreesboro real estate market update covers active inventory at 1,669, more than 500 homes above the same week in 2024. Months of supply 3.54. Turner Victory Team Market Health Score 41, down from 43, a market tilting toward buyers. The story is buying power. The 30 year fixed moved from 5.98% on February 26 to 6.58% this week, so the same income and down payment now reaches about 6% less house, roughly $29,000 on a $450,000 home.

How Affordable Is Rutherford County Real Estate? What the Median Income Gap Shows

This week’s Murfreesboro real estate market update covers active inventory at 1,629, up nearly 100 homes from a year ago. Months of supply 3.52. Turner Victory Team Market Health Score 43, down from around 50 a few weeks ago, a slight buyer’s market. The bigger story is affordability. The median Rutherford County home now sells near $450,000, while a household earning the median income can comfortably afford closer to $310,000. Closing that gap would take roughly $52,000 more in yearly income. Buyers have more choice than in years, but this is not a fire sale. Homes that sell still close near 98.9% of original list price. The affordable end stays thin, with only 114 homes for sale under $300,000, about 7% of all inventory, at just 2.2 months of supply. New listings and pending sales both slowed this week, an early signal worth watching. Mortgage rate 6.55%.

Questions About the Murfreesboro Real Estate Market

We publish a new Murfreesboro real estate market update every Sunday covering the prior week’s data. Each report includes new listings, pending sales, closed sales, price reductions, months of supply, and mortgage rate movement. You can watch the video version on our YouTube channel or read the written recap on our blog.
Turner Victory Team data shows 63.3% of existing Rutherford County homes went under contract within 90 days of first coming on the market. That figure comes from 1,351 existing homes that first listed between November 2025 and April 2026, using live Realtracs MLS data with new construction excluded. The odds hold steady across the county. Seven of eight ZIP codes landed between 61.4% and 69.4%, led by 37037 Christiana at 69.4% and 37129 in northwest Murfreesboro at 68.5%. See the odds of selling your home for the full ZIP code breakdown.
As of the week ending August 1, 2026, Rutherford County is balanced with a slight lean toward buyers. Active listings are at 1,583, down from 1,669 the week before, with months of supply at 3.30 compared to 3.16 a year ago. The Turner Victory Team Market Health Score is 44. Homes going under contract totaled 111 while 121 closed and 148 expired or were cancelled. Buyers have more choice than in recent years, but homes that sell still move fast, with 30.1% going under contract in the first seven days. The latest report above has the full breakdown.
Turner Victory Team data shows 91.3% of Rutherford County homes that went under contract within 90 days did it on the first listing. Only about one in eleven came off the market and sold on a later attempt. Coming off and going back on is not the reset button many sellers think it is. The homes that find buyers are the ones that stay on the market and make corrections while they are there. Our seller resources cover this in detail.
Across 5,452 Rutherford County closings tracked by the Turner Victory Team over the last 12 months, homes that went under contract within seven days received 99.7% of their Tru Original List Price™. Homes that took 8 to 30 days received 97.9%, and homes past 90 days received 92.9%. On a home first listed at $450,000, that gap is roughly $30,600. More than half of all homes that sold went under contract within the first 30 days.
Months of supply tells you how long it would take to sell all current inventory if no new listings came to market. Six months is generally considered a balanced market. Below six months favors sellers. Above six months favors buyers. In Rutherford County, we watch this number closely each week because it shifts faster here than in larger metro markets. As of the week ending August 1, 2026, months of supply is 3.30.
Mortgage rates have a direct impact on buyer demand. When rates drop, more buyers qualify and more buyers come off the sidelines. Every Murfreesboro real estate market update tracks rate movement alongside local pending data so you can see exactly how buyers are responding week to week. The current 30 year fixed rate is 6.66%, slightly lower than the 6.72% of a year ago but well above the March 2026 low of 5.97%. On a $450,000 purchase with 10% down, that climb since March is roughly $180 a month.
Standard MLS days on market resets every time a home is relisted. So a home that sat for 90 days, was pulled, and relisted shows as Day 1 to most buyers. Our Tru Insights platform uses a proprietary methodology to track the original list date across every relist so you see the full picture. Realtracs makes any single home’s history available to any agent who looks it up. What Tru Insights adds is running that calculation across every listing in the county and aggregating it by ZIP code, city, subdivision, and price bracket.
The most common reason is overpricing. During the week ending August 1, 2026, Rutherford County saw 148 listings expire or cancel against 111 that went under contract. A large share of that total is tied to new construction listing agreements that end on a set schedule, so a single week does not establish a trend. Sellers who price correctly from day one close near 99.7% of their Tru Original List Price. Our seller resources cover this in detail.
