The two figures measure different things and different areas. The Greater Nashville REALTORS® number is an average for the nine-county market. Realtor.com’s is a median for the metro area, and it counts days from listing to pending, closing or removal from the market, depending on the data available. The FRED series updates monthly, so check the date on the source page.

What this means if you’re selling

A market-wide number tells you the pace across Middle Tennessee, not how your home will do. When we price and plan a listing, we compare your home with recent listings in the same neighborhood and price range: how long each took to go under contract, and whether the sellers had to reduce the price to get there. That shows what buyers in your segment are actually responding to right now. — Miciah Viel and Tori Viel
