    Seasonal averages from the last 24 months of Arlington, TN sales. Individual results vary with price, condition, and how the broader market moves. A local agent can pinpoint the right timing for your home.

    What These Numbers Mean for Arlington Buyers and Sellers

    The Housing Market Trends module above frames Arlington as a market where leverage is more balanced than the headline price figure suggests. With a median sale price of $448,775 moving +0.9% year over year and a sale-to-list ratio of 99.33%, sellers are still capturing close to their asking prices. Yet the competitive indicators point to cooling. Only 14.6% of homes sold above list, while 37.4% of active listings recorded a price reduction, a strong signal that initial asking prices are frequently set above what the market will absorb. At 3.3 months of supply, inventory sits in territory that favors neither side decisively.

    For buyers, this combination creates room to negotiate. With 37.4% of listings cutting prices and a median of 26 days on market (a +1 day change in market time), patient buyers can identify homes that have lingered and structure offers below list, particularly on properties past the two-week mark. Note that 35.3% of homes still leave the market within two weeks, so well-priced, move-in-ready listings continue to move quickly.

    For sellers, the data argues for disciplined initial pricing rather than testing the ceiling. Homes priced accurately against the $164.05 per square foot benchmark are the ones capturing the 35.3% fast-sale window; those that overreach join the price-drop cohort. With 28 homes sold monthly against 91 active listings, choosing among Arlington's 568 licensed agents becomes a meaningful decision that shapes pricing strategy and outcome.

    What Arlington Home Prices Mean for You

    Understanding the true cost of homeownership in Arlington goes beyond the listing price. These calculators break down what today's market conditions mean for your budget, your timeline, and your negotiating position.

    +0.31%
    What this shift means: Prices moved +0.9% year over year while the sale-to-list ratio shifted +0.31% and market time registered a +1 day change. Taken together, this points to a market that has normalized from earlier urgency: sellers are still achieving near-list outcomes, but the longer selling window gives buyers more time to evaluate and negotiate rather than rush a decision.

    Year-over-year data reflects the most recent rolling period from Arlington MLS records. Prior year values calculated from current figures and published YoY changes.

    What to Look for in a Arlington Realtor

    Choosing a real estate agent on name recognition alone overlooks what actually determines results: measured transaction history and how consistently an agent negotiates near list price. In Arlington, EffectiveAgents has ranked 38 agents out of 568 licensed professionals, drawn from 254 annual transactions analyzed. Courtney Barnes at Enterprise Realtors leads that ranking with 384 verified transactions, $145.6M in all-time sales volume, and 40 client reviews. That negotiation track record matters in a market where the sale-to-list ratio sits at 99.33% and 37.4% of listings require a price cut, since an agent who prices correctly at the outset helps sellers avoid the reduction cycle. Within the 38002 zip code, experienced agents understand how local demand shapes days on market and offer strategy. Review patterns are worth reading closely: a high review count paired with a deep transaction history, rather than a handful of recent five-star notes, signals sustained performance across changing market conditions and gives buyers and sellers a more reliable basis for their decision.

    How We Rank Arlington Real Estate Agents

    Our rankings are built from verified MLS transaction data, not advertising spend. For every agent we analyze more than fifteen performance signals, including sales volume in your city and zip code, recent and all-time transactions, days on market, negotiation results (how far above or below list price an agent's clients actually close), price-point fit, and verified reviews. The agents shown first are those whose verified results put them at the top of the Arlington market today.

    Agents cannot pay for placement in these rankings. The underlying data refreshes as new closed transactions are reported, so rankings shift with real market performance. Learn how we rank agents.

    Arlington Real Estate Agent FAQs

    Who is the best real estate agent in Arlington, TN?

    The top-ranked agent in Arlington, TN by EffectiveAgents data is Courtney Barnes at Enterprise Realtors, with 384 verified transactions, 40 reviews, and $145.6M in all-time sales volume. EffectiveAgents ranks agents using objective performance data, including closed transaction counts, sale-to-list outcomes, and verified client reviews, rather than advertising spend. Barnes is one of 38 ranked agents among Arlington's 568 licensed professionals. The right agent for you depends on your property type, price range, and timeline, so compare several ranked candidates before deciding.

    How were these Arlington real estate agents ranked?

    Rankings are built from verified MLS transaction data. We analyze more than fifteen performance signals for every agent, including sales volume in your city and zip code, recent and all-time transactions, days on market, negotiation results, price-point fit, and verified reviews. Agents cannot pay for placement.

    How many real estate agents are in Arlington?

    Our data covers 568 real estate agents serving the Arlington area. The count represents agents with transaction activity recorded in our Arlington market data, not simply everyone holding a license.

    What does the median sale price in Arlington mean for sellers?

    Arlington's median sale price is $448,775 as of July 2026. Half of recent sales closed above that figure and half below. It is a useful baseline for understanding the market, but an experienced local agent will price your home against comparable recent sales in your neighborhood, not the citywide median.

    How long does it take to sell a house in Arlington?

    Homes in Arlington currently take a median of 26 days to sell, reflecting a +1 day change in market time year over year. That figure is a midpoint, not a guarantee. Well-priced, move-in-ready homes still sell fast, with 35.3% of listings leaving the market within two weeks. Timeline is driven by pricing accuracy against the $164.05 per square foot benchmark, condition, location within the 38002 area, and seasonality. With 37.4% of listings taking a price cut, homes priced above market expectation tend to sit considerably longer before selling.

    Does it cost anything to use EffectiveAgents?

    No. EffectiveAgents is free for home buyers and sellers, with no obligation to work with any agent we match you with.

    Do agents pay to be ranked or featured?

    No. Agents cannot pay for placement anywhere in these rankings. Positions are earned from verified transaction performance only.

    What commission do Arlington realtors charge?

    Commissions are negotiable and vary by agent, service level, and transaction. There is no set rate, and recent industry changes have made commission structures more flexible than ever. Discuss the structure directly with your agent before signing a listing or buyer agreement.

    Should I use a local Arlington agent or a national brand?

    The individual agent matters more than the brand on the sign. Offices within the same national franchise vary widely in performance, and the agent you hire, not the logo, prices your home, negotiates your contract, and manages your closing. A strong local agent brings firsthand knowledge of Arlington neighborhoods, pricing patterns, and buyer activity. Compare agents on verified local results such as recent sales, days on market, and negotiation outcomes rather than name recognition.

    What questions should I ask a Arlington realtor before hiring them?

    Ask how many homes they have closed in Arlington in the past year, what their average sale-to-list ratio is, and how much of their business is in your neighborhood and price range. Ask how they will market your home or find you listings, and how often they will communicate. Strong agents answer with specifics. Verified transaction data is the fastest way to confirm what you hear.
