Is 37127 a Buyer's or Seller's Market?
Mixed signals — prices down 3.2%, homes selling 9 days faster, year over year
Prices and time-to-sell are pulling in different directions, which usually means a market changing phase. Treat any single comparable with caution.
The read combines two signals rather than one: the direction of median sale prices and the direction of time-to-sell. Prices still rising while homes sit longer is a market losing steam, and calling that a seller's market would be the reassuring answer rather than the true one — so when the two disagree, it says so.
Rental Yield in 37127
A median-rent home in 37127 collects about $26,700 a year against a $445,000 median price, which is where the 6.0% gross yield comes from. That is a moderate gross yield. Deals here tend to depend on financing, on buying below the median, or on appreciation rather than on monthly cash flow. Gross yield ignores taxes, insurance, vacancy, maintenance, management and financing, so treat it as a way to rank ZIP codes against each other rather than as a return you would receive.
37127 Compared to Other Nashville ZIP Codes
37127 has the highest gross yield of the Nashville ZIP codes covered here, at 6.0%. 1 of the 6 are cheaper to buy into. Yield is only meaningful against the alternatives — the same rent buys a very different return a few miles away, and the table below is the comparison that makes the difference visible.
| ZIP | Median Rent | Median Price | Gross Yield | Days on Market |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 37127 (this ZIP) | $2,225 | $445,000 | 6.0% | 35 days |
| 37167 | $2,075 | $460,000 | 5.4% | 24 days |
| 37066 | $1,950 | $443,500 | 5.3% | 48 days |
| 37075 | $2,300 | $560,000 | 4.9% | 31 days |
| 37122 | $2,479 | $612,000 | 4.9% | 32 days |
| 37064 | $3,100 | $1,075,000 | 3.5% | 34 days |
Gross yield is annual median rent divided by median asking price. It ignores taxes, insurance, vacancy, maintenance, management and financing.

Know What One Nashville House Actually Returns
A median tells you nothing about the house you are looking at. Two homes on the same street can differ by a tax bill, a roof and $400 a month of cash flow. Put the address in and Smart Rental Investor prices that specific property — rent, every expense line and the return — for free.
- Rent estimated from the listings nearest that address, not the ZIP average
- Every monthly cost filled in before you see the number — taxes, insurance, vacancy, maintenance, management
- The cash needed to close beside the monthly cash flow, so the deal is answerable in one look
- Change the down payment or the rate and the return follows

Making Sense of 37127
The figures above are only useful if you know what they do and do not say.
What Gross Rental Yield Actually Tells You
Gross yield is a year of rent divided by the price — in 37127, $26,700 against $445,000, or 6.0%. It is a screening number, and the word doing the work is "gross". It has not paid the property taxes, the insurance, the vacancy between tenants, the maintenance, a management fee, or a single dollar of mortgage interest. On a financed purchase those routinely consume half of gross rent or more. Its value is comparative: it puts 37127 on the same scale as every other ZIP so you can decide where to look, not what you will earn.
The 1% Rule, Measured Against 37127
The old rule of thumb says a rental should ask about 1% of its purchase price in monthly rent. In 37127 the median rent is 0.5% of the median price — a median home would need to rent for $4,450 to clear the bar, against the $2,225 it actually asks. That falls short, as it does in most of the country since prices ran ahead of rents. It does not mean no deal here works — it means the median does not, and a deal has to be found below the median or improved after purchase. Treat the rule as a filter for where to spend your attention, never as an underwriting standard.
Why These Are Medians, Not Averages
The median rent in 37127 is $2,225 while the average is $2,174 — a gap of $51. Half of what is advertised sits above the median and half below, so no single expensive listing can move it. An average can be pulled by one outlier, and an average below the median, as here, usually means a cluster of small or low-priced units weighing it down. When a figure elsewhere disagrees with this page, check which of the two it is quoting before assuming either is wrong.
Time on Market Moves Before Prices Do
Listings in 37127 average 35 days on the market. This is the number to watch if you want warning rather than confirmation: a landlord or seller cuts an asking price only after a property has failed to move, so time on market rises first and the medians follow weeks or months later. A market where prices are still climbing while listings sit longer is losing momentum, whatever the price chart says — which is exactly why the buyer's-or-seller's read on this page combines both signals rather than trusting either alone.
What a ZIP Code Boundary Hides
A ZIP code is a postal delivery route, not a neighbourhood. 37127 spans streets that can trade very differently, and the $1,026 spread between its cheapest and dearest size band is a floor on that variation, not a ceiling — the same size of home on two streets here will not fetch the same rent. This is why the breakdowns by size and property type on this page matter more than the headline median for any particular address, and why a specific property still has to be priced on its own comparables rather than on a Nashville, TN average.
Asking Prices Are Not Closed Prices
Everything here aggregates what is currently advertised in 37127 — what owners and landlords are asking today. Closed transactions are recorded later and, in a moving market, lower: sellers negotiate. That makes asking data the earlier signal and the recorded-sale data the more certain one, and the two disagree most precisely when the market is turning and you most want to know. Use this page to understand direction and relative value; verify any specific number against the closing record before you commit to it.
37127 Market Questions
- What is the average rent in 37127?
- The median advertised rent in ZIP 37127 is $2,225 a month across all property sizes. By size: 1-bedroom $1,434, 2-bedroom $1,850, 3-bedroom $2,200, 4-bedroom $2,460. The median is a better guide than an average here because a handful of expensive listings would pull an average away from what most tenants actually pay.
- What is the median home price in 37127?
- The median asking price in ZIP 37127 is $445,000, or about $219.34 per square foot. That is what sellers are asking today, not what homes have closed at — in a moving market the two differ, and asking prices move first.
- Is 37127 a good place to buy a rental property?
- ZIP 37127 has a gross rental yield of 6.0% — $26,700 of annual rent against a $445,000 median price. Gross yield ignores taxes, insurance, vacancy, maintenance, management and financing, so it screens markets rather than predicting a return. Whether a specific property works depends on its own price, its condition and its expenses.
- Is 37127 a buyer's or a seller's market?
- Mixed signals — prices down 3.2%, homes selling 9 days faster, year over year. That combines two signals measured over twelve months — the direction of median asking prices and the direction of time-to-sell — because either one alone can mislead. Prices rising while homes sit longer, for instance, is a market losing momentum rather than a strong one.
- How long do rentals sit on the market in 37127?
- The average rental listing in ZIP 37127 has been advertised 35 days. Time on market is the earliest signal of a shift: it moves before medians do, because landlords cut a price only after a unit has failed to let.
- What size property offers the best value per square foot in 37127?
- On a per-square-foot basis, 4-bedroom listings are the lowest in ZIP 37127 at $1.15. Larger homes almost always cost less per square foot than smaller ones, so this is a comparison of value by area, not a claim that they are cheaper to rent.
- Where does this 37127 market data come from?
- The figures aggregate properties currently advertised in ZIP 37127, compiled from public listing data and third-party market data sources and last refreshed September 12, 2026. They describe asking rents and asking prices rather than closed transactions, and they are updated on a schedule rather than in real time.
- How does 37127 compare to the rest of Nashville, TN?
- The comparison table on this page sets 37127 against the other Nashville, TN ZIP codes covered here, on median rent, median price, gross yield and time on market. A yield only means something next to the alternatives — the same rent can buy a very different return a few miles away.
How these figures are produced
Every figure on this page is an aggregate of properties currently advertised in ZIP 37127, compiled from public listing data and third-party market data sources, and refreshed on a schedule. The trend charts cover the 24 months of history available for this ZIP. Two limits are worth stating plainly. These are asking prices and asking rents, not closed transactions, so in a market that is turning they lead recorded sale prices by some months. And a ZIP code is a postal boundary, not a neighbourhood: a single ZIP can contain streets that trade very differently, which is why the breakdowns by size and property type matter more than the headline median for any particular address.
