Market sale figures: PRIMARY Greater Nashville REALTORS® quarterly (RealTracs-sourced association board, Q1–Q2 2026) plus Mid-TN market-stats §3 Realtor.com spine (August 2026, SECONDARY). Label CONFLICT across sources; do not blend.

Commute corridors

  • I-40: Kingston Springs / Pegram into Davidson (Chamber: one I-40 exit)
  • I-24: Pleasant View / north-county toward Nashville and Clarksville (Chamber: three exits)
  • SR-12: Ashland City / Cumberland corridor (Walmart and plants sit on Hwy 12)
  • US-70: Pegram / south Cheatham
  • ACS mean travel time 33.5 minutes (workers 16+, ACS 2020–2024). Not a fixed downtown-Nashville ETA.
  • Chamber / Connect “20 minutes to Nashville” style claims are marketing-style distances, not dated TDOT door-to-door studies. Do not publish as FACT minutes.

Air context (dated CDP / TNECD): BNA roughly mid-20s to low-30s miles from Ashland City depending on source. Confirm for your itinerary.

Housing diligence (process)

Septic, well, and private roads are common on rural parcels. Verify per pin. Flood diligence near the Cumberland and Harpeth (FEMA). HOA docs when association-governed. Disclosure is not an inspection. Title-company closings are typical in Mid TN.

Buyers

Pick Ashland City vs Kingston Springs / Pegram (I-40) vs Pleasant View (I-24) by corridor and high-school feed. Rural systems diligence early. Use the Aug 2026 Realtor county snapshot as labeled context (and Redfin only if you cite the CONFLICT separately); price from live comps.

Sellers

Document septic/well, flood history near rivers, and access. Out-of-county buyers need clear utility answers.

Relocators

Near-Nashville quieter option with real river and septic homework. Confirm internet at the pin if you remote. Flood and septic matter more here than multi-county boundary quirks.

Housing / market

FIPS 47021; land area 302.50 sq mi (2020). County seat: Ashland City.

PRIMARY — Greater Nashville REALTORS® quarterly home sales (data from RealTracs Solutions; association public board — not live Realtracs Analytics→Market Trends). https://www.greaternashvillerealtors.org/market-data-quarterly · research `mid-tn-market-stats/gnar-public/` + `EVIDENCE-BRIEF.md` (fetched 2026-09-11).

Q2 2026 (Apr–Jun) — Cheatham County:

  • Residential median sold $386,000 · 178 closings
  • Condo median sold $297,745 · 16 closings
  • Total closings 194

Q1 2026 (Jan–Mar) — Cheatham County:

  • Residential median sold $407,250 · 118 closings
  • Condo median sold $299,112 · 12 closings
  • Total closings 130

GNAR public quarterly = county Res/Condo closings + prices only. County inventory / DOM on that board: GAP. Full $ bands / land / new-vs-resale beyond Res/Condo medians: GAP until Realtracs Analytics→Market Trends.

Housing stock (Census QuickFacts — not sale medians): units 18,310 (Jul 1, 2025 V2025); owner-occ 81.5% (ACS 2020–2024); ACS owner value $338,700; median gross rent $1,345; permits 285 (2025); median household income $89,852 (2024 $). https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/fact/table/cheathamcountytennessee/PST045225

CONFLICT across sources (not blended): GNAR Q2 Res $386,000 ≠ Realtor Aug $441,500 (different windows). Redfin trailing 3-mo ending Apr 2026 ~$379K / DOM 80 vs Realtor Aug spine — small-n / window mismatch. Live Redfin HTML GAP (403). Do not blend portals with each other or with GNAR quarterlies.

ZHVI Jul 31, 2026 $400,290 (+1.6%) — different construct.

What homes cost (typed bands): GNAR board supplies Res vs Condo medians above; full $ bands / land / new-vs-resale — GAP until Realtracs Analytics→Market Trends. Do not invent typed bands from portal county medians alone.

Who’s moving in

Census PEP V2025 (y/e Jul 1, 2025):

  • Population 42,778; numeric change +162; net domestic +162; net international +17; net migration +179
  • Cheatham is in Nashville-Davidson–Murfreesboro–Franklin MSA — metro U-Haul No. 6 (2025) is metro grain, not county-only
  • Prefer Census QuickFacts over conflicting TNECD pop rows (CONFLICT labeled in Research)

No vibe fluff. Prefer county components of change over invented mover origins.
