Which White House TN New Construction Communities Are Still Building in 2026: 101 Sumner County Sales From Dorris Farm to Cambria

101 new construction homes closed on the Sumner County side of White House in the past year at a $474,900 median. Only two communities, Dorris Farm and The Retreat at Bridle Creek, were still closing new homes at a steady pace by late summer 2026.

If you are shopping new construction in White House TN, the first question is not which floor plan you like. It is which communities are still selling new homes. From October 10, 2025, through October 9, 2026, 101 new construction homes closed on the Sumner County side of White House (ZIP 37188), 43.3 percent of the area's 233 sales, at a median of $474,900. Those 101 sales came from just seven communities, and three of them, Dorris Farm, The Retreat at Bridle Creek and Marlin Pointe, accounted for 89, or 88.1 percent.

I'm Ryan Beals, born and raised in Gallatin and Hendersonville, and this is the directory I build for anyone starting a new home search here: where new homes actually closed, at what price per square foot, and which communities are winding down. If you want it narrowed to your budget and timeline, I can pull the closings community by community before you visit a single model.

Which White House New Construction Communities Are Still Building

The cleanest signal in closed sales data is when a community last closed a new home. Dorris Farm closed new homes in every quarter of the year, 17 from October through December 2025 and 15 from July through September 2026, with the latest on September 30. The Retreat at Bridle Creek did not close its first new home until April 2026, then closed 18 by late September, every one of them To Be Built, meaning the buyer contracted before the house was finished.

The picture is different elsewhere. Marlin Pointe closed 18 new homes, but all of them between late October 2025 and March 2026, with none after. Copes Crossing's 3 new sales all closed by December 2025, after 21 the year before. Summerlin, which closed 31 new homes in the prior 12 months, closed none in this window. Springbrook Reserve (5 sales, latest in July 2026) and Cambria (3 sales, latest in September 2026) are still closing, but at a pace of a home every few months. A community with no recent closings may still have homes listed, so check the active listings below, but plan your comparisons around the communities with current sales.

The Community Directory: Dorris Farm, The Retreat and Marlin Pointe

Dorris Farm is the largest, with 53 new sales, 52.5 percent of all new construction on the Sumner side, at a median of $444,238 and $205.91 per square foot. It is really two products: 20 attached homes at a median of $371,901, from $325,000 to $411,270, and 33 detached homes at $535,685 and $214.58 a foot, up to $694,471. Most sales are on Yuma Lane and Charlie Place, with more on Pantana Drive and Odell Drive. Listings name a pool and clubhouse, and median HOA dues were about $65 a month.

The Retreat at Bridle Creek, on Thoroughbred Way and Brumby Loop, closed 18 homes at a median of $510,913, from $474,985 to $580,770. These are larger floor plans, a median of 2,739 square feet and 4 bedrooms, at $187.97 a foot, the lowest per-foot pricing among the three busiest communities. Its median is higher than Dorris Farm's overall because the homes are bigger, not because the pricing is: detached to detached, the Retreat ran $24,773 below Dorris Farm. Median HOA dues were about $32 a month.

Marlin Pointe, on Southerlynn Drive, was the detached entry point at a $428,425 median and $197.56 a foot, from $351,535 to $450,000 on homes from 1,436 to 2,231 square feet. With no new closings after March 2026, check the active listings below before counting on a new home there.

The Smaller Communities: Springbrook Reserve, Cambria and Copes Crossing

Springbrook Reserve closed 5 new homes at a median of $484,900 and the highest per-foot pricing of the group, $239.40, on smaller homes around 1,852 square feet. Cambria, on Esteph Court, closed 3 five-bedroom homes from $594,000 to $651,455, a $616,714 median, the top of the new construction market here; buyers in that range should also read our $500K to $700K White House guide. Copes Crossing closed 3 new homes on Deacon Lane, all by December 2025, at a $499,000 median, and at $152.27 a foot on homes around 3,694 square feet it was the most house per dollar of any community, with HOA dues around $95 a month. One more new home closed in Poplar Ridge at $430,000.

For who builds in each community, the White House builders guide covers it, using only the builders named in listing remarks: Goodall and CastleRock in Dorris Farm, Smith Douglas in Marlin Pointe and Terrata in Springbrook Reserve.

To Be Built or Finished: How the Choice Changes the Price

Across all 101 new sales, 33 were To Be Built at a median of $521,475 and 68 were finished homes at $430,975. That gap looks like a premium for building, but price per square foot was nearly identical, $198.52 against $199.87. The difference is size: To Be Built homes ran a median of 2,718 square feet against 2,231 for finished ones. Choosing a community that sells mostly To Be Built, like the Retreat, means a longer timeline and more decisions, not a higher price per foot.

The question I hear most from buyers touring White House model homes is which community is the better deal, and my answer starts with what the price includes rather than the price itself. A To Be Built contract in one community and a finished home in another are different purchases: one asks you to wait and choose, the other is ready but already chosen for you. I line up the lot, the HOA, the timeline and what the base price covers in each, then set them against that community's own recent closings before we talk about an offer. Buyers who compare that way usually settle on a community quickly, because the trade-offs stop hiding behind the sticker.

What a builder includes as standard, and what is worth paying extra for, is its own topic. Our guide to builder upgrades in White House walks through it.

What Changed From a Year Ago

A year ago White House new construction was closing at a $424,745 median across 150 sales. Today that number is $474,900 across 101, up $50,155 or 11.8 percent. That increase tells you more about which communities were selling than about rising prices, because the median price per square foot rose only 2.1 percent, from $195.48 to $199.68.

The mix moved. Summerlin's 31 sales and most of Copes Crossing's 21 dropped out, and the Retreat's larger homes arrived. Community by community, the medians can mislead: Copes Crossing's median rose 23.2 percent while its price per foot fell 11.4 percent, and Cambria's rose 17.2 percent with per-foot pricing down 1.1 percent, both because the homes that closed were bigger. Dorris Farm is the fairest like-for-like read, with its median up 9.7 percent and price per foot up 7.3 percent on homes of similar size.

Getting Around White House From the New Communities

All of these communities sit within a few minutes of the town center, and the daily drive starts on I-65. Downtown Nashville is typically 30 to 40 minutes south on I-65 most mornings, with the merge through Goodlettsville as the usual slowdown. For local trips, 31W and Highway 76 carry you to shopping, Hendersonville and Springfield, so drive your route at commute time before you settle on a lot at the far edge of a community.

The buyers I see in White House new construction are mostly Nashville commuters who want a newer home for less than closer-in suburbs, first-time buyers looking at the attached homes in Dorris Farm, and Sumner County owners moving up to a larger floor plan. If you are weighing White House against its neighbor, our White House vs Hendersonville comparison lays out the trade-offs.

Schools Serving White House New Construction

All 101 new sales listed Harold B. Williams Elementary, White House Middle School and White House High School in MLS, so on the Sumner County side the community you choose does not change the assignment shown in this data. Our White House school zone guide and the guide to using school zones to narrow a Sumner County search go deeper. Zone lines change, and White House crosses a county line, so verify any address with Sumner County Schools.

Why Work with Ryan Beals in White House

I was born and raised in Gallatin and Hendersonville, and I know how White House sits against the county line, I-65 and 31W. With new construction, I compare communities on a matched basis, per foot, detached to detached, To Be Built to To Be Built, so a community median never makes the decision for you.

I work as a patient educator with the Nashville Home Guru team at Compass. I show you the closed sales, the contract terms to read and the questions to ask a builder's sales team, and you make the call. If you are also weighing an established neighborhood against new construction, call me at 629-263-0248.
