BRENTWOOD, TN REAL ESTATE MARKET — AUGUST 2026

The Brentwood, TN real estate market closed 58 homes in August 2026, down from 80 in  July and 65 in August 2025. The median home sale price in Brentwood was $1,697,500, and  homes sold in a median of just 8 days — half the time it took a year ago, when median days on  market was 17. Brentwood TN home prices per square foot rose 6.1% year-over-year even  though median and average sale prices dipped slightly, because buyers purchased smaller homes  on average. The median sale-to-list ratio in Brentwood was 97.25%, confirming this remains a  seller-favorable market despite the seasonal slowdown in closed transaction volume. 

Compared to July 2026, Brentwood real estate cooled modestly month-over-month: median  price per square foot fell 4.8% and the sale-to-list ratio eased slightly, giving buyers a bit more  negotiating room than the peak of summer. Year-over-year, however, the trend clearly favors  sellers — faster sales, higher price per square foot, and stronger sale-to-list ratios than August  2025. The top home sale in Brentwood, TN in August 2026 closed at a record $7,995,000,  surpassing July's top sale of $6,800,000 and August 2025's top sale of $6,450,000. 

For anyone asking "is Brentwood TN a buyer's or seller's market in 2026," the answer is a  seller-leaning market: homes are moving in about a week at roughly 97% of asking price, luxury  sales are setting new records, and year-over-year appreciation is real once adjusted for home  size, even though headline median and average sale prices are down slightly from last August.
