Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Putnam County real estate market. *
September 2026
Monthly data for the latest available year.
Monthly supply and activity totals for the latest available year.
Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Sep 2026).
Year-over-year, Putnam County home values are essentially flat, with the typical home value edging down less than 1 percent while the statewide median dipped by a similar fraction. At the same time, sales activity has picked up, as homes sold climbed more than 20 percent compared with a year earlier even as pending sales fell by about a third.
September’s data shows a typical home value of about $348,000 and a median list price near $384,000, with list prices up more than 8 percent from last year and nearly 10 percent from August. Inventory sits at 552 active listings and about 4.4 months of supply, below Tennessee’s 5.3 months, suggesting conditions lean a bit tighter locally than in the state overall.
Homes are spending a median of 61 days on the market, roughly unchanged from August but slightly faster than a year ago, and about one in ten properties is selling above list price. With closed sales up month over month but new listings down nearly 13 percent in September, buyers face a mix of more recent sales activity and fewer fresh options while sellers navigate a market still labeled a buyer’s market. Agent Pronto can connect both buyers who want to interpret these shifting signals and sellers who aim to price and time their move with an expert local agent.

“Elle did such a wonderful job helping us purchase our new home! She always communicated quickly with us throughout the whole process, she is very friendly and relatable, she has a lot of connections, and was able to find answers to our questions with ease each time!”
“Kate Goeringer was everything you want in a listing agent; knowledgeable, responsive, and completely in your corner from day one. She listed our 20+ acre property in Sumner County at the right price, launched the marketing with professional photos and a compelling description, and we were under contract at full asking price within 48 hours of going active. The engagement numbers before we even had professional photos up told us immediately that she knew what she was doing. Kate navigated the inspection negotiations, stayed on top of every deadline, and kept the process moving cleanly all the way to a smooth October 1st closing. Her team, including Kimberly who managed the transaction coordination, was equally professional and communicative throughout. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend Kate and Brick Realty without hesitation.”
“We bought and sold property with Victoria. She's great to work with, very responsive and very knowledgeable. Enjoyed working with her and her team was also excellent. Highly recommend!”
“Chena Morris is an excellent realtor. But if you've read the other reviews, you already know that. So rather than repeat what everyone else has said, I'll share a little about my experience. First, I should probably mention that I'm a Type A personality. I know what I want, I ask a lot of questions, I like things done efficiently, and I fully recognize that I'm not always the easiest person to deal with. Chena handled me wonderfully! She quickly figured out how I operate and seemed to know when to lead, when to listen, when to offer her opinion, and when to just let me do my thing. I really appreciated that. One of my favorite moments happened while planning a day of house hunting. I was only in town for a limited time and had quite a few houses I wanted to see. Chena mentioned that we'd need to move fast to fit them all in. I confidently replied, "No problem!" To which she responded, "What's YOUR version of fast?" I had to laugh. That one question told me she was listening, was up for the challenge, but also wanted to make sure we were on the same page about what we were getting ourselves into. Fair enough! And off we went. We saw A LOT of houses, and not once did she make me feel like I was asking too much. She listened to my thoughts, shared her own, and never tried to push me toward something that wasn't right for me. We worked really well together, and ultimately, I found a home I absolutely love. I also have to mention her team. Desire was fantastic and didn't miss a beat while Chena was on vacation. Although, I'm not entirely convinced Chena knows how to take a vacation because she didn't miss a beat either! But where Chena really shines is getting things done. I flew into town for the final walkthrough and signing, only to arrive at the house and discover the sellers were still moving out. Not exactly what I had envisioned for closing day! While I was standing there wondering what this meant and what we were supposed to do next, Chena was already on the phone with the seller's realtor making sure I would be protected since the signing was going to take place before the sellers had completely moved out. And when the delayed moveout meant the house needed cleaning, Chena had a cleaning crew there within hours. She doesn't mess around! I think that's what impressed me most about Chena. Showing houses is one thing, but knowing how to handle the unexpected and actually getting things done is another. I never felt like I had to chase her down or wonder if something was being taken care of. She was usually already on it before I even thought to ask. I could end this by saying I highly recommend Chena, but that just doesn't seem like enough. So, since I'm a pretty straight to the point kind of person, here's my advice: Quit reading all the reviews and call her. Ask your questions, have your conversation, and then hire her. No need to interview anyone else. She's the ONE! And trust me, coming from someone who likes to explore every possible option before making a decision, that's saying something!”
“Working with Dalton was a wonderful experience. He is a friend and sometimes it can feel more stressful to do business with a friend, but in our case he exceeded our already high expectations! He is a local and has a really important knowledge base of Nashville and the surrounding suburbs. He and his colleagues were very clear and communicative throughout the home selling process. We were not living in our home but we have very difficult work schedules and Dalton made sure we were never inconvenienced. We were under contract in 3 days and closed with no delays or hiccups. We even had a vacation while under contract and didn’t have to worry about a thing! Having a team that can get a deal to the finish line in a market like this is amazing. Dalton and his team can do that for you!”
“Daniel and Alissa were excellent buyer’s agents. They scheduled viewings, had all the information available for the properties at the showing. Immediately following up with our questions. The offer, inspection and closing processes were all handled professionally and seamlessly. Provided resources and recommendations.”
“Cameron (Cam) is an excellent agent. We wish we had met him earlier in our process. He is a very dedicated professional with a work ethic beyond compare. He responds super fast and helps steer through issues with ease. He takes his own photo’s which were much better than previous “professional photo’s. We just closed on our home in a very short time.”
“Becca went above and beyond to find the perfect buyer for our home. She stayed in constant communication with and made the process easy. I would use her again.”
“Getting to work with Kimo is a pleasure. The man is professional, thoughtful, timely, and thorough. With a plethora of experience and good people working all around him. We've put together a handful of offers with Kimo, closed on a deal, and listed a home of ours with him all in just a few months. At every step of the way him and his team had us feeling informed and ready to go. Looking forward to future business with him and hope you'll do the same. You will be glad you connected with a realtor like Kimo Quance.”
“Cherie assisted us with selling our home recently as well as buying our new home. When it came to selling our home, she was was professional and courteous as well as motivated and helped us through every step of the way, including finding a cleaner last minute to list our property sooner. She researched the area prior to listing our property and even reached out to multiple realtors who had listings in the area to get input and helpful information to be able to sell our property. She was eager and located to sell and hosted multiple open houses and thankfully, due to her expertise, our house was pending in less than 3 weeks. She was always very responsive and professional but also caring and made an effort to include and involve my entire family. I couldn’t recommend her enough!”
“Tammy was an absolute pleasure to work with. Her and her Husband, Chad went above and beyond to find me exactly what I wanted for what I wanted to pay. No question went unanswered. They are truly wonderful people to work with! Highly recommended. 5 star service and experience. Thank you Tammy and Chad!”
“I have bought and sold three homes and my realtor for all of them has been Steve Asadoorian. He was so nice to me, always available with quick answers to my many questions. He is a genuine family man and his kindness, along with his realty knowledge cannot be beat. Hire him to be your Realtor!”
“I highly recommend Michael West to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Not only has he been a trusted friend for many years, but he also demonstrated exceptional professionalism while helping me purchase my first property. He took the time to explain every step, provided clear guidance, and made sure I felt comfortable and informed throughout the entire process. His market knowledge, responsiveness, and genuine commitment to his clients set him apart. I’m incredibly grateful for his support and thrilled with my new property.”
“Extremely transparent and understanding of our wants and needs. Very dedicated and worked around the clock to help us find the house for us, very personable! Look forward to working with her for future purchases. Highly recommend!”
“Emily was very responsive. She helped me buy my home so when I was ready to sell, I reached back out to her. It was a very quick process, and I appreciate how quickly she worked to sell my home! I would definitely recommend Emily as she does not just sit around. She gets things done.”
“CJ for short was great from the start throughout the whole process of the house searching and buying. He responds to everything you need help with. CJ treats you respectfully and is a pay it forward kinda guy. He wasn’t just our realtor but he became a friend. You don’t find too many people with the heart that he has. I would recommend him to anyone and brag on him and his service to everyone. Thanks so much for everything CJ!”
“We were first connected with Elena Tarsitani in the summer of 2021 through my mom, who’s a realtor in California. From the moment she reached out, Elena made us feel seen, supported, and completely at ease. During our visit that June, we finally got to meet in person — and right away, it felt like we were reconnecting with an old friend. She was so warm, genuine, encouraging, and down-to-earth. She shared her own story of moving cross-country from Southern California, and gave us so much valuable insight and advice on how to prepare for our move, both logistically and emotionally. Life kept pushing our timeline back, year after year, but Elena never wavered. She stayed in touch, checked in, and always made it clear that when we were ready, she’d be there. And she truly was. In April 2025, we finally made the leap — and Elena met us with open arms and her signature optimism. Over just two days, she showed us nearly 20 homes — and never once made us feel rushed or overwhelmed. She was patient, encouraging, and constantly reminded us that the right place would come. And it did. Because of Elena’s dedication and skill, we had our offer accepted below list price, with seller-paid concessions and closing costs — something we didn’t think was even possible. But more than the deal itself, what made this experience so meaningful was having Elena by our side every step of the way. She truly went above and beyond — not just as a realtor, but as someone who genuinely cared about us and our journey. We feel so lucky to have found not only an amazing professional but a beautiful soul who we now consider a friend. Thank you, Elena, from the bottom of our hearts. We’ll be forever grateful for your guidance, your kindness, and your belief in us. THANK YOU, ELENA! I will refer you to everyone I know!!”
“Cody was an excellent realtor. Cody went above and beyond in selling our property. Our property was not an easy sell, as it had a back story and really was just a nightmare for us. Cody was able to look past all that and find the perfect buyer. Even when it took longer to sell then we had hoped he knew exactly what to do, and kept us hopeful. We are so thankful he was apart of our journey.”
“Ethan was a great realtor that advised on every step of the process. He was an amazing communicator that helped us know exactly where everything was in the process of the home loan. Ethan will communicate well, knows the market, and will guide you correctly through your home buying journey. We highly recommend him for all of your real estate needs.”
“My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Nate Thompson from The Anderson Group on the sale of our home in Nashville, Tennessee. It was a very stressful time for us as we were selling our home in Tennessee while also buying a home in Texas and timing was of the utmost importance. Nate eased our stress throughout the entire process and earned our trust from the very beginning of the process. Nate made the process a breeze and really listened to our needs. We were able to sell our place in 21 days after list. I would 100% recommend Nate to anyone looking for real estate needs in the Nashville / Middle Tennessee area.”
