September closed the third quarter with Davidson County’s ultra-luxury market, defined in this month’s report as homes listed between $1.5M and $5M, tilting toward buyers for the first time this year. Sellers came back to the market in force while buyers took their time, and prices held firm through the shift.
A total of 79 new listings entered the segment, the heaviest month of new supply in the quarter, while 36 closings recorded so far represent $85.1M in closed volume and an average sale price of $2,363,864.
Sellers achieved an average of 97.0% of list price, with 13 of the 36 closings settling at or above full asking price and four closing above ask outright. Correctly priced homes are still clearing at full value even as the balance of leverage moves toward the buyer.
This report covers Davidson County’s $1.5M–$5M ultra-luxury market. For homes from $750K to $1.499M, read the Luxury Market Update.
Demand cooled in pace, not in price. 41 homes are currently under contract at an average list price of roughly $2.47M, a solid pipeline feeding October and November closings, and September’s median of 76 days on market was the fastest of the quarter.
With 468 active listings representing $1.22 billion in total list volume and roughly 7.4 months of supply, buyers have the deepest selection of 2026. Green Hills leads active inventory decisively, followed by Sylvan Park, Oak Hill, West Meade Farms, 12 South and Forest Hills. Competition remains strongest below $2.5M, where 22 of September’s 36 closings landed, while 131 active listings now sit above $3M against single-digit monthly absorption in that tier.
