Redfin cited a $565,000 median sale price for March 2026, up 7.6% year over year -- but the median price-per-square-foot fell 3.5% YoY to $232, a real, disclosed tension suggesting the mix of homes selling shifted toward larger properties rather than every comparable home simply costing more. Homes sold in around 74 days on average with roughly 2 offers per listing (retrieved 2026-08-22).
The most expensive place in this three-market Nashville-satellite batch
At $565,000, Mount Juliet runs well above both Smyrna ($412,253, down 3.9% YoY) and Gallatin ($429,666-$439,000 depending on source) elsewhere in this same batch -- a genuinely different price tier tied to newer housing stock and the city's fast-growth premium.
Property tax: a documented county rate plus a recently-reduced city rate
Wilson County's effective property tax rate is cited at 0.44% (propertytaxrates.org, medium confidence, not independently cross-checked against a second aggregator this session), with a median annual tax bill of $1,743 on a $397,000 median home value -- well below the ~1.02% national median effective rate. On top of the county rate, the City of Mt. Juliet's own property tax rate was set at $0.28 per $100 of assessed value for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2026, a one-cent reduction from the prior $0.29 rate. Tennessee assesses residential property at 25% of appraised value before either rate applies.
Key takeaways
- Median sale price was $565,000 as of March 2026 (Redfin), up 7.6% YoY -- though price-per-square-foot fell 3.5% YoY, a real tension likely reflecting a shift toward larger homes selling.
- The most expensive of this dataset's three-market Nashville-satellite batch (Smyrna, Mount Juliet, Gallatin), well above both Smyrna and Gallatin.
- Wilson County's effective property tax rate is cited at 0.44%, with the City of Mt. Juliet's own rate recently reduced to $0.28 per $100 of assessed value for FY2026-27.
- Budget for a genuinely higher price point than the other two markets in this batch, offset partly by Mount Juliet's above-average median household income ($107,068).
