A second measure

The FHFA index tracks repeat sales of the same houses across the whole Nashville metro area, which includes Murfreesboro. Its all-transactions index rose 1.6% from the second quarter of 2025 to the second quarter of 2026, 46% over five years and 119% over 10 years. It counts only homes that sold more than once, and it covers a much wider area than the city.

Compared with neighbors

Zillow, September 2026:

Place Typical home value One-year change
Nashville $425,889 -2.5%

La Vergne $345,627 -1.7%

What the numbers mean

  • Zillow’s index is not a sale price. It is Zillow’s estimate of a typical home’s value, the middle of the market, smoothed and seasonally adjusted. Actual sales can be well above or below.
  • The Census figure is lower ($402,100) because it comes from owners’ own estimates collected from 2020 to 2024.
  • For a specific house, look up the deed through the Register of Deeds, or see our weekly real estate transfers.

Renting and owning

The Census Bureau’s 2020-2024 American Community Survey puts Murfreesboro’s median gross rent at $1,481 a month, close to Rutherford County’s $1,502. It finds 52.4% of occupied homes in the city are owner-occupied, well below the county’s 64.8%, so nearly half of Murfreesboro households rent. See our population guide for more.

What this means for you

  • Buyers: prices have been flat for four years and dipped slightly this year.
  • Sellers: the 2020-2022 run-up is intact, but there has been little gain since.
  • Owners: your tax bill follows the Property Assessor’s appraisal, not Zillow. Rutherford County reappraised every property in 2026; see our property tax guide.
