Williamson County: Franklin and Brentwood
Williamson has the highest home prices in Tennessee. In Brentwood and much of Franklin, purchases often exceed the conforming limit, where jumbo loans apply with their own reserve and documentation requirements. Many buyers are relocating executives and health care professionals paid partly in bonus or stock, which lenders average over time.
Spring Hill, Thompson’s Station and Nolensville have most of the new construction and the county’s more accessible prices; most neighborhoods there have association dues. Around Leiper’s Fork and College Grove, properties come with acreage, barns, wells and septic systems, which change how the appraisal is done and which loan types fit.
