What Murfreesboro homeowners should know
Murfreesboro sits about 35 miles southeast of Nashville and is the largest city in Rutherford County, home to Middle Tennessee State University. Historic Downtown Murfreesboro, around the pre-Civil War courthouse square, has older homes mixed with restored Victorian and early-1900s houses. Neighborhoods close to MTSU have a mix of older rental housing and mid-century homes that have cycled through student and long-term tenants for decades. Most of the rest of the city was built from the 1970s through the 2010s as Murfreesboro grew into one of Tennessee’s fastest-growing cities, and new subdivisions keep expanding along the outer edges. That growth has driven steady demand, but it also means an older home near downtown or MTSU competes with newer construction, and rising property taxes and insurance costs have made some older rentals harder to hold onto profitably.

Why Murfreesboro owners sell as-is
Older homes near downtown and MTSU competing with new subdivisions
Murfreesboro has grown fast for decades, and most of that growth has been new subdivision construction on the city’s edges. That leaves older homes near the courthouse square and MTSU, some needing roof, plumbing or electrical updates, competing for buyers against move-in-ready new builds, which can mean a longer sale or a lower offer without repairs done first.
Rental housing near MTSU
Homes near Middle Tennessee State University have often cycled through years of student or long-term rental use, and deferred maintenance is common. A landlord ready to exit a tired rental near campus can usually sell as-is rather than fund a renovation just to compete with newer housing stock nearby.
Rising property taxes and insurance in a fast-growing county
Rutherford County’s rapid growth has come with climbing property values and, for many owners, higher insurance premiums, especially for older homes. For an inherited house or a rental that isn’t generating much income, those rising carrying costs are a real factor in deciding whether to keep holding or sell.

Selling a house for cash in Murfreesboro
My rental house near MTSU needs work after years of student tenants. Should I fix it up before selling?
Not necessarily. Homes that have been rented to students for years often need new flooring, paint, appliances and sometimes plumbing or electrical work, and that bill can eat into your proceeds with no guarantee a retail buyer’s lender will approve the home anyway until repairs are done. Selling as-is to a cash buyer means you can walk away without touching the property.
How does probate work for an inherited Murfreesboro home?
Rutherford County estates are handled through the Chancery Court, and Tennessee’s small estate affidavit only covers personal property up to $50,000, not real estate, so a house typically needs formal probate before an executor can sign a deed. Once the court grants that authority, a sale can move forward. An estate attorney can confirm the right sequence for your situation.
Is Murfreesboro’s market still competitive for sellers?
As of September 2026, homes in Murfreesboro had a median sale price around $415,000 and were going under contract in about 26 days on average, based on roughly six months of closings, which points to a fairly active market. That said, an older home needing repairs typically takes longer and sells for less than a comparable move-in-ready one.
Do I pay any fees or closing costs when I sell to BAM in Murfreesboro?
No. There are no commissions or fees, and we pay all of the normal seller closing costs. The offer we make is the amount you walk away with, minus only what you owe, like a mortgage payoff or back taxes.
