How the Ice Storm Impacted the Murfreesboro Real Estate Market | January 2026

Описание: How did the ice storm of 2026 impact the Murfreesboro real estate market?
This week's Rutherford County housing market update covers what happened when Middle Tennessee got hit with one of the biggest ice storms in recent memory. Active inventory dropped from 1,313 to 1,254 homes, pending sales slowed to 64, and new listings came in at just 59. If you are thinking about buying or selling a home in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, this is what you need to know right now.

What is the current housing inventory in Murfreesboro TN?
As of February 1, 2026, there are 1,254 active homes for sale in Rutherford County. That is down from 1,313 last week and 1,352 the week before. Inventory has dropped nearly 100 homes in two weeks.

How many homes are selling in Murfreesboro right now?
This week 64 homes went under contract and 52 homes closed across Rutherford County. The pending number is down from last week due to the ice storm, but 52 closings shows the market is still moving.

Is it a buyer's market or seller's market in Murfreesboro?
Rutherford County is now below 3 months supply of inventory, which leans toward a seller's market. Under $500,000, inventory is even tighter. The $800,000 and above range is also showing surprisingly low supply.

How does weather affect the real estate market?
Major weather events like ice storms temporarily slow listings and showings. Sellers delay putting their homes on the market because you cannot get good photos with ice and snow on the ground. Buyers postpone tours. Over the next two weeks we will see whether there is pent-up demand that pushes new listings higher.

What did the Murfreesboro housing market look like in January 2026?
January ended on a Friday, so not all offices have updated the MLS yet. Early numbers show 2,565 homes sold over the past six months. I will have a full January recap in next week's update.
