Market Overview

Murfreesboro TN Real Estate Market Overview


The Murfreesboro real estate market has shifted toward buyers over the past year. More homes are on the market, and sellers are waiting a little longer for offers than they did in 2025. Based on the most recent Redfin data, here is what the market looks like for the three months ending August 2026:

$429,716Median sale priceDown 1.2% YoY
63Median days on marketUp from 56 days
682Homes soldUp 4.3% YoY
99.0%Sale-to-list ratioThree months to Aug 2026
$207Price per sq ftMedian

Zillow's Home Value Index put the typical Murfreesboro home at $424,348 as of September 30, 2026, down 0.5% over the year. Together these numbers point to a stable, somewhat competitive market. Well-priced homes in popular areas still draw strong interest, while homes that need work or are priced above recent sales tend to sit longer and leave room to negotiate.

Interest rates play a large part in what buyers can afford here. A small change in rate can move your monthly payment more than a small change in price, so getting a lender's estimate early helps you search with confidence. Our affordability calculator is a good place to start.

Market figures are estimates from Redfin and Zillow and change monthly. MLS information is deemed reliable but not guaranteed. Contact us for the latest Murfreesboro sold data.

Why Murfreesboro

Why Buyers Choose Murfreesboro


Value

Value is a big part of the draw. Murfreesboro's median sale price sits below the Nashville median, and buyers often find more square feet and larger lots for the same budget. Tennessee also has no state income tax on wages, which leaves more room in a monthly housing budget.

Location

Location is the other reason. I-24 runs straight into Nashville, and I-840 connects Murfreesboro to Franklin and Williamson County without going through downtown. Nashville International Airport is about 30 miles away.

Large employers such as Nissan's Smyrna plant, Amazon, MTSU and Ascension Saint Thomas Rutherford are all in or near the city, so many people who live here also work here.

Property Types

Types of Murfreesboro TN Homes for Sale


Murfreesboro's housing stock is mostly single-family homes, and two-story Traditional styles are the most common. You will also find plenty of ranch homes and townhomes.

Single-Family Homes in Established Subdivisions

Subdivisions built from the 1980s through the 2010s make up much of the city. These homes usually sit on mature lots with brick exteriors and three to five bedrooms. Many buyers looking for one-story homes in Murfreesboro start in these older neighborhoods, where ranch floor plans are more common.

New Construction Homes

Murfreesboro has steady new home building, especially in the Blackman area on the west side and along the south edge of the city. New construction gives you builder warranties and the chance to choose your own finishes. Expect HOA dues in most new communities, and compare builder incentives carefully.

Historic Homes Near Downtown

The East Main Street Historic District is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Its homes range from Late Victorian designs to Craftsman bungalows, on streets near the courthouse square and MTSU. Older homes have real character, but budget for updates to older wiring and HVAC systems.

Luxury and Golf Course Properties

Higher-end buyers will find custom homes on larger lots in north Murfreesboro and homes along the fairways at Indian Hills Golf Club.

Buyer Guide

What to Know Before Buying a Home in Murfreesboro


A few local details can change your monthly cost and your search, so it pays to know them before you write an offer.

01

Property Taxes

Tennessee assesses residential property at 25% of its appraised value. Rutherford County completed a reappraisal in 2026, and the city lowered its rate afterward. The city's FY27 ordinance sets the Murfreesboro rate at $0.7529 per $100 of assessed value, down from $0.9526. Homes inside city limits pay both city and county taxes, while homes outside city limits pay the county rate only. Check the Rutherford County Trustee for the current county rate.

02

City Limits and Nearby ZIP Codes

A Murfreesboro mailing address does not always mean the home is inside city limits. This affects your tax bill and your school zoning. We confirm this for every property before you make an offer.

If you are open to nearby ZIP codes, homes in Smyrna (37167), Christiana (37037), Rockvale (37153) and Lascassas (37085) are close by and can widen your options.

03

Closing Costs

In Tennessee, the buyer pays the state transfer tax of $0.37 per $100 of the sale price, and most buyers pay between 2% and 5% of the price in total closing costs. Read our guide on closing costs in Tennessee for a full breakdown.

04

Get Pre-Approved First

In a market where good homes still sell close to asking price, a pre-approval letter shows sellers you are ready. It also tells you exactly what you can spend before you fall in love with a house.
