White-hot cooling

On the surface, it’s been a stellar 2017 for the Nashville real estate market. In fact, the city’s real estate sector could easily be placed in the national “supernova” category.

In January, Zillow named Nashville the hottest housing market in the country, citing its 13 percent annual appreciation rate, continued population growth and vibrant job market. Six months later, Ten-X, a nationwide online real estate company, also named the city the nation’s best single-family housing market.
