How Many Showings Should I Expect Selling My Home in Murfreesboro?

How many showings should you expect when selling your home in Murfreesboro? Based on current showing data for Rutherford County, a correctly priced home in the $300,000 to $400,000 range is getting about three showings per week. That may sound low, but it is actually a healthy number in today's market.

The COVID Mindset Is Gone

A lot of sellers still expect what happened in 2021 and 2022. Homes would go on the market on a Thursday and by Saturday there would be a line of cars outside. Multiple offers by Sunday night. That is not what is happening in 2026.

The market has normalized. Buyers are active, but they are also more selective. They have access to data, they are watching mortgage rates, and they are comparing your home to every other option in their price range before they ever book a showing.

Two to four showings in that first week is a strong sign that your home is priced correctly and presenting well. It means buyers are seeing your listing and making the effort to come look at it in person.

What Does Showing Activity Look Like by Price Range?

We track showing data across all price ranges in Rutherford County, and there is a clear pattern. The most active price range right now is $300,000 to $400,000, where correctly priced listings are averaging about three showings per week.

Below $300,000, activity is also strong. Inventory is tight in that range, with months of supply well below the balanced market threshold. Homes priced right in this range tend to move quickly.

Above $500,000, showing activity starts to drop off. That is normal. There are fewer buyers in the higher price ranges, and those buyers tend to take more time before committing to a showing. If you are selling a home above $500,000, one to two showings per week is not unusual and does not mean something is wrong.

Above $800,000, showings can be even more sporadic. But the days on market data we track shows that correctly priced homes in every range still sell. It just takes longer at the higher price points.

What If You Are Not Getting Any Showings?

If your home has been on the market for two weeks and you have had little to no showing activity, that is the market telling you something. In most cases, it comes down to one of three things.

Price is the most common reason. If your home is priced above comparable active and sold listings in the area, buyers will skip it. They may not even look at the photos. The price filters them out before they ever get to your listing.

Presentation is the second factor. Photos matter more than most sellers realize. The first impression happens online, not at the front door. If your listing photos are dark, cluttered, or do not show the home well, buyers will scroll right past it.

Condition is the third. Buyers today expect homes to be well maintained. Deferred maintenance, outdated finishes, or obvious repair needs will reduce showing activity, especially when there are other options in the same price range that show better.

How Showings Connect to the Bigger Picture

Showing data is one piece of the puzzle we look at when helping sellers understand how the market is responding to their listing. Combined with days on market, price-to-value ratios, and comparable sales data, it paints a clear picture of where a home stands.

Right now the Murfreesboro market is showing signs of strength. Pending sales are running ahead of last year and new listings are down 25% compared to January 2025. That means there is less competition for sellers who are on the market. But it also means pricing correctly is more important than ever, because buyers still have enough options to be selective.

The data shows that sellers who get ahead of the spring rush tend to see better showing activity and stronger offers. Fewer competing listings means more eyes on your home.

What Should You Do If You Are Getting Ready to Sell?

Set realistic expectations from the start. Three showings a week in the $300,000 to $400,000 range is a win. One to two showings a week above $500,000 is normal. And if you are not getting showings at all, do not wait six weeks to make a change. The first two to three weeks are when your listing gets the most attention.
