Rutherford County, Tennessee — Real Estate Market Report
Rutherford County sits southeast of Nashville along I-24. Murfreesboro is the county seat and home to Middle Tennessee State University; Smyrna and La Vergne sit closer to Davidson. This page reports housing figures for Rutherford County city by city — Murfreesboro, Smyrna — because that is the level at which we can source and date every number. Each figure below states the period it covers and links where it came from.

Every cell below is a published figure with its own as-of period. Blank cells mean we do not have a sourced number — not that the number is zero.

Why there is no single Rutherford County median on this page
We do not have a Rutherford Countymedian from a primary source. Blending the city figures above into one county number would produce something that looks authoritative and can't be checked — and a county median hides the spread between these cities, which is usually the thing that actually matters to a decision. When we have a county-level closed-sales export we can attribute, it will appear here with its own date and methodology. Until then, the city rows are the honest answer.
