Five measures, one consistent period
The table keeps every housing measure on the same 2020–2024 period. Dollar figures describe that published series; they are not September 2026 asking prices, lender quotes or a prediction for a specific property in Davidson County.
| Measure | Published estimate |
|---|---|
| Median owner-occupied home value | $417,400 |
| Owner-occupied housing rate | 52.8% |
| Median monthly owner costs, with mortgage | $1,910 |
| Median monthly owner costs, without mortgage | $627 |
| Median gross rent | $1,582 |
A 52.8% ownership share changes how to read this profile
Davidson’s 52.8% owner-occupied share is 25.2 percentage points below Williamson’s 78.8% in this nine-county collection. The $417,400 value statistic covers owner-occupied homes, so it does not describe every housing unit represented by the broader tenure measure. A rental search needs its own inventory and terms; the county’s owner-value estimate cannot stand in for them.
Davidson and Wilson show why value and tenure are separate questions
Wilson’s $428,000 owner-value estimate is only $10,600 above Davidson’s, while its ownership share is 77.0% rather than 52.8%. Similar county value estimates can coexist with very different tenure mixes. Neither difference establishes a price for two otherwise comparable homes, or whether buying is preferable to renting.
Use the urban search to collect property-level costs
For a Davidson condo, obtain the association budget and unit-specific insurance responsibilities. For a detached property, ask for the tax record, insurance quote and maintenance information. The $1,910 mortgage-holder cost estimate and $627 mortgage-free estimate describe different household groups; their difference is not a mortgage payment quote.
