The Franklin home-selling process
1. Understand the local numbers
As of August 31, 2026, the median sale price in Franklin was $863,000 (+12.8% from a year earlier), homes took a median of 49 days to sell and sold for an average of 98.3% of list price, with 3.4 months of supply and 531 homes for sale (source: Redfin Data Center). Our blended market rating is a balanced market, leaning toward sellers. See the full Franklin housing market page.
These are citywide figures. Conditions can differ a lot by price range, condition and location, so they describe the market and are not a price for any one home.
2. Price your home with local data
A pricing review compares your home with recent sales of similar homes nearby, and with the homes that are competing with yours right now. A free home value review from me starts with the What’s My Home Worth form.
Local data for your own city, such as months of supply, days on market and sale-to-list ratio, is more useful than national headlines, because conditions can differ a lot between cities, price ranges and neighborhoods.
3. Complete your Tennessee disclosures
Tennessee sellers complete the residential property condition disclosure (or exemption), and the lead-based paint disclosure applies to homes built before 1978.
4. Prepare for inspections and offers
Radon testing, a sewer scope and a termite inspection are common add-ons to a standard home inspection. Termite and wood-destroying organism (WDO) inspections are commonly requested by buyers and lenders in Tennessee.
Buyers can ask about negotiating, including asking the seller to pay some closing costs or to fund a temporary or permanent interest rate buydown. Whether that is available depends on the seller, the home and the market.
5. Plan for closing and your move
Wire fraud is real: verify wire instructions by phone using a number you already trust, and never rely on emailed wire instructions.
Request quotes from at least 3 licensed moving companies and book early for month-end dates. Cancel homeowner’s insurance on a sold home only after closing is confirmed.
