Second month of all-county snapshots. Below is where every Middle Tennessee land market stands as of July 2026 — median per-acre figures, P25–P75 ranges, median tract sizes, median sale prices, and total verified closings on file in the Scenic Land Intelligence database.
The numbers, county by county
Same methodology as last month: verified Realtracs MLS closings, tracts 1+ acres, per-acre prices filtered between $100 and $5M to remove infill outliers and data errors. Click any county name in the table to open the full Land Intelligence dashboard with school-zone, acreage-band, and quarterly breakdowns. The table shows county-wide figures as of this post's last data refresh; the county dashboards carry the live numbers.

What moved this month
The pattern through July: premium-tier counties hold a wide gap. Williamson and Davidson hold the price ceiling; Rutherford and Wilson maintain their mid-tier compression off Murfreesboro and Mt. Juliet pressure; Sumner sits just above Robertson. One area to watch is the Bell Buckle / Wartrace corridor in northern Bedford, where buyer interest is arriving from the Rutherford line.
Where the action is
Where the recent activity concentrates: the College Grove / Triune corridor in southern Williamson (most active high-end tracts); the SR-840 ring in Rutherford and the Eagleville approach (development-grade absorption); the I-40 / SR-840 spine in Wilson (residential-estate compression); the Saturn Parkway corridor in northern Maury (Spring Hill spillover continues); and the Bell Buckle / Rutherford-line corridor in Bedford (newer entrant). On the western side, the Bon Aqua / Lyles area in Hickman and the I-40 corridor in eastern Dickson are seeing steady activity from Nashville-based recreational and rural-lifestyle buyers.
What's quieter
Where activity is more muted: Smith and Trousdale counties continue to run at low transaction volumes despite reasonable per-acre figures — the buyer-access pattern hasn't shifted yet. DeKalb's interior trades quietly outside the Center Hill Lake corridor. The northern reaches of Montgomery and the western county in Robertson see less competitive bidding than the closer-in corridors. These are the value plays for buyers willing to put in additional drive time.
What to watch next month
Two storylines to watch over August. First, whether the Bedford / Bell Buckle compression continues to accelerate as Murfreesboro buyers actively move south of the county line — early evidence says yes. Second, whether Robertson's White House corridor starts to look more like Sumner pricing than Robertson pricing — the gap appears to be narrowing. Both reflect the same broader pattern: Nashville-metro pressure is pushing further outward into traditionally agricultural counties, and the value-end counties are getting harder to find.
