“December proved to be a strong month for home sales in the Nashville area. This marks the strongest December home sales our area has experienced since closing 3,109 units in 2006,” said GNAR President Denise Creswell. “The number of pending sales is a good indicator for January. This is also the highest number of pending units, over 2,600, we have seen since 2006.”
“It has been nearly a decade since our real estate market has seen this much activity and positive growth,” said Creswell. “We ended 2015 with 36,873 units closed. Again, that’s the most annual closings we have had since 2006. Staying on a sustainable growth track, coupled with continued good reports on the economy and job market should make this year another successful and favorable one for both current and potential homeowners.
