ON CAMERA [0:00-0:05]: "One Nashville neighborhood just hit 11% appreciation while the rest averaged 4. Let's talk about what's happening this week." [TITLE CARD: Nashville Market Update — Week of [Date]] ON CAMERA [0:10-0:45] — THE NUMBERS: "Here's your weekly snapshot. 142 new listings hit the market—that's 8% more than last week. 98 homes went under contract. Average days on market: 19. Mortgage rates holding at 6.2%. But the headline number is hiding two very different stories." GRAPHICS/B-ROLL [0:45-1:15] — THE SPLIT: [On-screen: price bracket comparison graphic] "Homes under $400,000 are selling in under 10 days. That's a seller's market by any definition. You're competing with other buyers, and you need to come in strong. Homes over $600,000? Averaging 35 days on market. That's a buyer's market. You have time. You have leverage. Different price point, different strategy." ON CAMERA [1:15-2:45] — NEIGHBORHOOD DEEP-DIVE: INGLEWOOD: "Now let me tell you about Inglewood. This East Nashville neighborhood is up 11% year-over-year while most of Nashville is up 4-5%. Why Inglewood? Three factors: First, it's the last neighborhood in East Nashville with a median under $400K. Lockeland Springs is at $520K. Rosebank is at $410K. Inglewood is still at $380K. Buyers priced out of those neighborhoods are landing here. Second, the housing stock. Inglewood has the 1950s-60s ranch homes that renovators love, and the lot sizes are larger than most East Nashville neighborhoods. That combination is a magnet for families. Third, infrastructure. New restaurants and shops are opening along Gallatin Pike. When the commercial corridor improves, residential values follow. We've seen this pattern in every East Nashville neighborhood that gentrified over the last decade. My prediction—and I'll put this on the record: Inglewood crosses a $400K median by this summer. If you're a buyer who wants to be in East Nashville under $400K, this is your window." ON CAMERA [2:45-3:30] — THE TAKEAWAY: "So your action items this week: If you're buying under $400K: move quickly. Have your pre-approval ready. Know your escalation strategy before you write the offer. If you're buying over $600K: take your time. The market is giving you negotiating leverage. Use it. If you're selling: price correctly on day one. The data doesn't lie—overpriced homes are sitting while properly priced homes sell fast." ON CAMERA [3:30-3:50] — CTA: "That's your Nashville market update. If you're looking in East Nashville—especially Inglewood—DM me or drop a comment. I'm in that neighborhood every week. Subscribe for next week's update. I'll have the latest numbers and another neighborhood deep-dive." [END CARD: Subscribe button, comment prompt, agent contact]
Why It Works
The 11% stat in the hook creates immediate curiosity. The split between under-$400K and over-$600K markets provides genuinely useful segmentation. The Inglewood deep-dive (with a recorded prediction) positions the agent as both knowledgeable and willing to take a public stance—which builds authority.
