Resale Homes in White House TN (Sumner County): 132 Sales at a $398,500 Median, by Era, Lot and Community vs New Construction

White House resale homes closed at a $398,500 median on the Sumner County side this year, $76,400 under new construction. Compare homes of the same size, though, and resale and new sold for almost the same price per foot. The real resale discount sat in homes built before 2000.

From October 10, 2025, through October 9, 2026, 132 resale homes closed on the Sumner County side of White House at a median of $398,500, 56.7 percent of the 233 sales there. New construction closed 101 homes at a median of $474,900. That $76,400 headline gap is mostly house: the median resale had 1,927 square feet against 2,345 for the median new home.

I'm Ryan Beals, born and raised in Gallatin and Hendersonville, and this guide is for buyers who already lean resale: which era of home fits your budget, where the bigger lots are, the HOA question and the communities where resales actually trade. If you want the straight head-to-head first, start with my new construction vs resale comparison for White House. This post stays on the resale side.

White House sits on the Sumner and Robertson county line, so every figure here covers the Sumner County side only. Verify the county and school assignment for any specific address with Sumner County Schools before you write an offer.

Resale vs New Construction in White House: The Per-Foot Picture

Across all sizes, resale sold at a median of $206.95 per square foot against $199.68 for new construction, so resale cost $7.27 more per foot, not less. Smaller homes carry a higher price per foot, and resales are smaller. Compare site-built homes of the same size, 1,800 to 2,599 square feet, and the two land almost even: 62 resales at $199.01 a foot and 37 new homes at $199.30.

The per-foot discount shows up when you split those same-size resales by age. The 15 built before 2000 sold at $179.24 a foot and a median of $384,999. The 25 built from 2000 to 2019 sold at $205.33, and the 22 built in 2020 or later at $206.14. A nearly new resale prices like a new build. The older home is where a buyer trades newer finishes for price.

Three Eras of White House Resale Homes

Built before 2000 is the largest group: 53 resales at a median of $319,900 and 1,580 square feet, and none reported an HOA fee. This era also holds the land, with a median lot of 0.51 acre and 55.8 percent of reported lots at half an acre or more. Northwoods and Tyree Woods are the largest named neighborhoods in this era.

Built from 2000 through 2019: 40 resales at a median of $435,000 and 2,198 square feet, on a median 0.33 acre lot, with 52.5 percent carrying an HOA. Cambria, Bridle Creek, Greystone and the older Summerlin sections sit here.

Built in 2020 or later: 39 resales at a median of $430,000 and 2,200 square feet. 94.9 percent had an HOA and the median lot was 0.16 acre, close to the new construction footprint. Summerlin, Willow Grove, Reserve at Palmers Crossing and the first resales in Dorris Farm and Copes Crossing make up most of this group.

Across all sizes the three eras ran close together per foot, $206.69, $209.14 and $204.70, so the lower median before 2000 is mostly smaller homes. The same-size comparison above is where the age discount actually shows.

When a buyer tells me they want an established White House street, the first thing I ask is how they plan to use the yard, because the older neighborhoods trade newer finishes for more land and usually no HOA. The objection I hear most is that an older home means a list of repairs, so I have buyers note the age of the roof, HVAC and water heater on every showing and price those into the comparison with a newer resale. Once that real cost is on paper, the decision usually gets easier in one direction or the other. My advice is to tour one home from each era on the same afternoon so you feel the difference instead of guessing at it.

Resale by Community on the Sumner County Side

Summerlin led resale with 18 sales at a median of $397,450, homes built from 2017 to 2023 with a typical $25 monthly HOA. A year earlier Summerlin was still selling new, with 31 new sales, so its resales now compete directly with nearby builders, at $196.42 per foot.

Northwoods closed 10 resales at a median of $339,900, mostly mid-1990s homes around 1,398 square feet on lots near 0.28 acre, with no HOA fee reported. Tyree Woods closed 6 at $313,250 on larger lots, a median of 0.51 acre. Tyree Woods also shows the highest per-foot price in this group, $258.86, because its homes are the smallest, a median of 1,188 square feet. That is size, not a premium.

Cambria closed 6 resales at a median of $502,500 with a $20 monthly HOA, and Bridle Creek 6 at $492,450. Covington Heights posted the highest median among named communities, 4 sales at $551,000, but at only $185.92 a foot, because its homes run about 2,943 square feet on lots near 0.53 acre. Greystone closed 4 at $460,000 with a $45 monthly HOA. For more on these streets, see my guide to established upper-tier communities in White House.

The newer resale communities price close to new: Willow Grove closed 5 at $429,500, Reserve at Palmers Crossing 5 at $495,000, Dorris Farm 5 resales at $439,000 and Copes Crossing 5 at $439,900, where larger plans, a median of 2,763 square feet, brought the per-foot price down to $159.62. Kensington Green is the condo option, 4 resales at a median of $309,000 with a $250 monthly association fee.

What Changed in White House Resale Over the Past Year

A year ago White House resales on the Sumner side were closing at a median of $380,000 across 121 sales. Today that number is $398,500 across 132, up $18,500 or 4.9 percent. That increase tells you more about which homes sold than about rising values, because the median resale price per square foot fell 2.8 percent, from $212.97 to $206.95.

The mix moved younger. Resales built in 2020 or later rose from 23 to 39 as Summerlin finished selling new and began turning over, while Tyree Woods fell from 20 resales to 6, and the median resale year built moved from 1997 to 2006. On the same-size basis, resale went from $206.36 to $199.01 a foot, down 3.6 percent, while new construction rose 3.3 percent, from $193.01 to $199.30. A year ago a same-size resale cost $13.35 more per foot than new. This year the two are even.

HOA or No HOA Among White House Resales

74 resales reported no HOA fee and closed at a median of $349,950. The 58 with an HOA closed at $429,900. That gap is the mix, not the HOA: the no-HOA homes were older, built in a median year of 1995 against 2021, and smaller, 1,731 square feet against 2,200. Per foot they actually sold slightly higher, $207.78 against $204.97, and they sat on more land, a median of 0.49 acre against 0.17.

Among resales with an HOA, the median fee was $45 a month, and 43.9 percent of all resales carried one, against 99.0 percent of new construction at a $65 median. Kensington Green condos at $250 a month are the outlier. Confirm the fee, what it covers and any transfer fee in the listing documents before you write an offer.

Who Buys Resale in White House, and Getting Around

Resale draws buyers who want land they can use, a street that is already finished, no HOA, or a move-in date that matches a lease ending instead of a build schedule. It also serves the lower budgets: 45 of the 132 resales closed at or under $350,000, 69 between $350,000 and $500,000 and 18 above $500,000. If your budget sits in the middle, see what $425K buys in White House, and for the upper end, the $500K to $700K market.

For the drive, I-65 south to downtown Nashville typically runs 30 to 40 minutes most mornings from the Sumner side of White House, longer when the interstate backs up. Highway 31W and Highway 76 carry most local trips around town. Treat any drive time as a range and test the route at your own commute hour before you commit.

Schools for White House Resale Homes

By MLS assignment, all 132 resales listed White House High School. 125 listed Harold B. Williams Elementary and 7 listed White House Intermediate. On this basis resale and new homes share the same high school, and my White House school zone guide covers the assignments in more detail. Zone lines and county lines can change, so verify any address directly with Sumner County Schools.
