Every Shelby Village Sale Was a House
Shelby Village covers the numbered streets south of Shelby Avenue in 37206, from about South 12th Street east toward Shelby Park, about 1.9 miles from the downtown courthouse. Every one of the 42 homes that sold inside its map outline in the last twelve months was a house on its own lot, at a $775,000 median.
That median jumped from $534,000 the year before, and the reason is mix, not a market leap: 9 of last year’s sales were new houses at a $1,584,900 median, while older houses sold near $555,000.
