Nolensville, the $1M-adjacent market, posts $924,318 (May 2026, per Redfin / Zillow) but is essentially flat at -0.4% year-over-year with the slowest days-on-market of the three at 113 days.

| Market | Median Sale Price | As of | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brentwood | $1,444,136–$1,600,000 | April–May 2026 | Redfin / Zillow / Orchard |
| Franklin | $919,585 (rolling 12-mo); ~$850,000 (3-mo ending Apr 2026) | May 2026 | Nashville Home Guru / Redfin / Zillow |
| Nolensville | $924,318 | May 2026 | Redfin / Zillow |
Note: Brentwood new-construction listings carried a much higher median list price of roughly $3.2M in early 2026, reflecting the luxury custom-build segment specifically (Nashville Home Guru).
How fast is the high end moving?
Franklin is the fastest-moving market in the region at 13-15 days on market (May 2026), a sign of tight inventory at the premium end. Brentwood moves considerably slower at 42-92 days (May-June 2026), and Nolensville is the slowest of the three at 113 days (May 2026).
| Market | Days on Market | Months of Inventory | As of | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Franklin | 13–15 days | 3.6 months | May 2026 | Redfin / Zillow |
| Brentwood | 42–92 days | [verify] | May–June 2026 | Redfin / Zillow / Orchard |
| Nolensville | 113 days | [verify] | May 2026 | Redfin / Zillow |
Read it straight: Franklin's sub-15-day pace and 3.6-month supply reflect scarcity at the premium end, not high sales velocity across the board — Brentwood and Nolensville, both pricier on a per-home basis, are taking two to nearly eight times as long to sell.
Which luxury markets are appreciating?
Brentwood shows the strongest year-over-year gain of the three at +8.3% to +16.2%. Franklin follows at +7.7% for the three-month period ending April 2026. Nolensville is essentially flat, down -0.4% year-over-year as of May 2026 — though its median is up from about $808,000 in November 2025.
| Market | YoY Trend | As of | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brentwood | +8.3% to +16.2% (Redfin: about +16%) | May–June 2026 | Redfin / Zillow / Orchard |
| Franklin | +7.7% (3-month period ending April 2026) | April 2026 | Redfin / Zillow |
| Nolensville | -0.4% | May 2026 | Redfin / Zillow |
Franklin's new-construction share was 16.1% of single-family closings as of February 2026 (Nashville Home Guru / Greater Nashville Realtors) — a modest figure, meaning the market's pace is driven by limited resale/lot supply rather than builder volume. A comparable new-construction figure was not sourced for Brentwood or Nolensville in this dataset, so it is omitted here.
Snapshot
As of late June 2026, Middle Tennessee's luxury tier is not monolithic: Brentwood is appreciating fastest but moving slowest, Franklin is moving fastest at a lower price point with modest new-construction supply, and Nolensville is holding flat with the longest market time of the three.
