Maury County Land Closings — What the Recent Data Shows

A snapshot of what has actually closed in Maury County recently — not asking prices, not active listings, just verified Realtracs MLS closings filtered the same way every comp set should be filtered. Here is the pattern.

How to read this

Every figure on this page is pulled from the Scenic Land Intelligence transaction database — verified Realtracs MLS closings, filtered to tracts 1+ acres with per-acre prices between $100 and $5M (to remove obvious data errors and infill outliers). The median and percentile values come from the qualified sample. Anything you see quoted as a Maury 'average' that doesn't apply this filter is being dragged by either tiny infill lots at one end or stale aggregations at the other.

The pattern in this period

The recent pattern in Maury looks like a barbell: a cluster of small-tract closings (2–8 acres) near Spring Hill driving the upper per-acre quartile, and a separate cluster of larger agricultural tracts (40+ acres) in the southern county anchoring the lower quartile. The middle band (10–30 acres) is where the most varied buyer pool competes — residential estate buyers, gentleman-farm buyers, and small-development buyers all overlapping. That middle band is also where pricing is least predictable on any individual parcel.

Where the action is concentrated

Geographically, the trailing closings concentrate where you'd expect: along Saturn Parkway, the US-31 corridor between Spring Hill and Columbia, and around the small clusters of subdivisions on the periphery of Columbia. Mt. Pleasant and points south account for fewer closings but materially different per-acre figures — larger tracts, lower per-acre, and a buyer pool that skews toward genuine agricultural use rather than residential lifestyle.

Outliers and what to ignore

Several recent Maury closings look like outliers when sorted by per-acre but aren't really. A 3-acre tract that closed at $80,000/acre is a buildable Spring Hill homesite, not a comparable for a 60-acre Hampshire farm. A 120-acre closing at $9,000/acre may look low until you check the tract's road frontage (none), water (none), and slope (mostly unbuildable). Always check the underlying parcel before treating a closing as a usable comp — the per-acre figure alone is rarely sufficient context.

What to do with this information

If you're looking at a specific Maury tract, the next step is to filter the dashboard to the relevant sub-area (northern, mid-county, or southern Maury), the relevant tract-size band, and the trailing 12 months only. That narrow filter usually produces a comp set of 8–15 closings — enough to anchor a defensible range. Then visit a couple of the closed properties if you can; the difference between a $25K/acre closing and a $45K/acre closing is often visible from the road. We can run that filter for you and walk through the result — the fastest path is the contact form on this page.
