The Homes
Site-built single-family homes account for 636 of the 963 under-$500K sales (66%), followed by townhomes at 220 sales (23%) and zero-lot-line attached homes at 53 sales (6%). Square footage ranges from 660 to 3,308 with a median of 1,721 sq ft. Most homes offer 3 to 4 bedrooms and 2 to 3 full bathrooms, though the range extends from 1-bedroom condos to 6-bedroom family homes on larger lots.
New construction is a major driver in this price range. Homes built in 2025 or later account for 418 of the 963 under-$500K sales (43%). The highest-volume new construction communities include Cumberland Landing (61 sales, median $351K), Nexus (all phases combined, 146 sales), Oxford Station (29 sales, median $327K), and Windsong (29 sales, median $326K). Builders active in this price range include Ryan Homes, D.R. Horton, Davidson Homes, The New Home Group, and Weekley Homes.
For buyers who prefer established neighborhoods, communities like Spencer Springs, Liberty Creek, Elk Acres (6 sales, median $385K), Cumberland Place North, and Patterson Farms offer mature landscaping, larger lots, and homes built between the 1990s and 2010s at price points that frequently undercut comparable new construction.

What is my Gallatin home worth in today’s market?

A new construction townhome in Nexus and a 20-year-old single-family home in Spencer Springs may share a similar list price but represent completely different value propositions.
