Area home sales rise a robust 43%

Nashville-area home sales surged 43 percent in April from the mark of the same month in 2020.

April’s numbers come after a March that saw a 13 percent jump and a February and a January that both enjoyed a 4 percent increase compared to the prior-year figures. Specifically, Greater Nashville Realtors said there were 4,119 residential property closings in April, up from the 2,887 closings in the same month of last year — when the COVID-19 pandemic was laying low many parts of the economy.
