Headline Homes: August 2017

In August, every house on the Headline Homes list sold for more than $2 million. For most of us, that’s obviously a lot of money, but the average square footage wasn’t what you might expect for a figure that high. Square footage of 7,000 is pretty normal for Headline Homes, but in August, many houses on the list didn’t break that number. 

Below are August’s top 10 home sales in Nashville and the surrounding counties, ranked by sale price.
