Isam Aziz - Realtor at The Aziz Team

I am a Realtor with The Aziz Team and simpliHOM. If you need anything with your home, I am your guy! I love learning the stories of why people are moving.

Buy, sell, rent or fixing/improving anything around your home! My goal is to make the buying and selling process easier for everyone in Middle TN. From the family that just added their third baby to the empty nesters who are looking to downsize their home. This is a life changing event and one of the most stressful times in someone’s life. My goal is to make it as easy as possible by educating you on the process and giving you the tools to be successful. I was born in Indianapolis and graduated from East Tennessee State University. In 2008, I moved to Nashville, TN. I immediately loved everything about the city. It was a big city with a small city vibe. Since then, Nashville has seen an immense amount of change. From high rise buildings to high priced homes, Nashville has seen it all. When I started doing real estate, it was honestly a side hustle for me while I worked my IT job. As I started doing this a little more, I started to see how much I loved every part of this job. From meeting new people, to learning their stories, it was all great to me. The job is more fulfilling than any other job I have had and to me, that is the ultimate career. When I can help a family move to the next chapter of their life, it truly gives me a sense of joy and accomplishment. I am the proud father of two kids and enjoy spending time with them and my wife. We have plans to travel around the world to expose our children to different parts of the world. Part of this job has made me realize how blessed we are. Seeing other people going through hard times and knowing that there are other people around the world that have it even worse makes me really think about how grateful I should be everyday. I honestly want to help you. I want to help you get to the next chapter in your life. I want to make this process easy for you. I want you to tell all your friends about me. I want to impact lives and I know that is a big task to take on but I am committed, driven and ready to earn your business. I look forward to hearing from you and working with you!I look forward to hearing from you and working with you!

🏡 Mortgage rates are up. So where’s the opportunity?

There’s no reason to sugarcoat it: higher mortgage rates are making affordability more difficult for buyers.

📈 As of September 18, Mortgage News Daily’s daily index put the average 30-year fixed mortgage at 7.20%.

But there’s another side to this market.

🏘️ More homes are available while buyer activity has slowed. That means buyers who are still in the market may have something they didn’t have as much of before: negotiating power.

Homes that have been sitting for several weeks may offer more room to negotiate on:

💰 Purchase price
💵 Closing costs
📉 Rate buydowns
🔨 Repairs after inspection

Does that automatically make them a good deal? No.

But less competition can create opportunities that weren’t available in a hotter market.

🏠 And for sellers, the message is just as important: when buyers have more choices, pricing and presentation matter.

I don’t think this is a market where everyone should buy or everyone should sell. The better question is whether the numbers make sense for your finances, your timeline, and your goals.

💡 Sometimes there’s opportunity in a difficult market. You just have to know where to look for it.

🏠 Rental Real Estate: Investment & Awareness

The rental market is worth watching from both sides.

📉 Realtor.com projects rents nationally to decline about 1.2% in 2026, a reminder for investors to carefully consider purchase price, financing, expenses and expected rent before buying.

⚠️ For renters, awareness matters too. The FTC reported nearly 65,000 rental scams and about $65 million in losses between 2020 and June 2025. Scammers often copy legitimate listings and photos to advertise properties they don’t represent.

🔑 Whether you’re investing or renting, know the numbers and verify who you’re dealing with before making a commitment.

🏡 August Market Update

Middle Tennessee saw the seasonal slowdown we typically expect as summer came to an end.

According to Greater Nashville REALTORS®, August recorded:

🔑 2,928 total closings
💰 $515,725 median residential price
📝 2,409 pending sales
⏱️ 55 average days on market

For comparison, July had 3,269 closings and a median residential price of $520,000.

Interest rates continue to affect affordability, but buyers are still out there. Slower activity may mean less competition and more negotiating room for buyers, while sellers need to focus on realistic pricing and good positioning.

The market gives us information. The important part is understanding what it means for your goals, finances and timeline.

🏡 Mortgage Update

We started August with the national average 30-year fixed mortgage at 6.83%.

Rates moved lower during the month reaching 6.69% on August 13 before climbing back again.

As of August 28, according to Mortgage News Daily:

🏠 30-Year Fixed: 6.81%
🏠 15-Year Fixed: 6.35%

So after all that movement, we ended August pretty close to where we started!

What does that mean for buyers? Trying to perfectly time mortgage rates can be difficult.

Rates absolutely matter, but so do the purchase price, monthly payment, available inventory and your ability to negotiate.

Here in Middle Tennessee, slower buyer demand may create more negotiating opportunities in some situations, even while borrowing costs remain a challenge.

The goal isn't to find the “perfect” market. It's to understand the one we're in and decide what makes sense for you.

🏡 A Buyer’s Market AND a Strong Real Estate Market? Both Can Be True.

Last week, I shared Redfin data showing that Nashville has shifted strongly in favor of buyers.

Now, WalletHub’s 2026 rankings add another perspective:

📍 Murfreesboro: #3 among midsize real estate markets
🏙️ Nashville: #6 among large-city real estate markets

Contradictory? Not really.

Buyers may have more choices and negotiating power today, while Middle Tennessee can still show strong underlying market and economic characteristics.

For buyers, that means opportunity if the numbers make sense for you. For sellers, it means today’s competition still matters, so pricing and positioning are important. 🏠

A buyer’s market doesn’t necessarily mean a bad real estate market.

The market gives us information. Your goals, finances, and timeline should guide the decision. 🤝

🏡 Nashville Is a Buyer’s Market, But What Does That Really Mean?

According to new Redfin data, Nashville had an estimated 50.8% more sellers than buyers in July, making it the second-strongest buyer’s market among the major U.S. metros analyzed. 📊

That means buyers have more choices and more negotiating power but affordability still matters. Higher home prices and mortgage rates continue to keep many buyers on the sidelines.

For buyers who are financially prepared, there may be opportunities. For sellers, pricing and positioning matter more than ever. 🏠

The market matters. Your goals, finances, and timeline matter more. 🤝

🏡 July Market Update

July brought the seasonal slowdown we typically see after a busy June.

📊 3,269 total closings
🏠 $520K median home price
🏢 $334,900 median condo price
⏱️ 54 average days on market

As school and sports get underway, we’ll likely see fewer casual buyers and some sellers reconsider their pricing or whether to stay on the market at all.

But here’s the important part: the buyers who are still looking tend to be serious. 👀

For sellers, pricing and positioning matter. For buyers, there may be opportunities as we head toward fall.

The goal isn’t to wait for the “perfect” market. It’s to understand the market you’re in and have the right strategy for it. 🤝

📈 August Mortgage Update

🏡 Mortgage rates have moved higher, with the average 30-year fixed rate around 6.83% and the 15-year fixed around 6.32% (national averages).

📊 While higher rates have slowed some activity, the market hasn't stopped. In fact, the Mortgage Bankers Association reports that purchase applications are still 3% higher than they were this time last year. Buyers are still buying, they're just being more intentional.

💡 It's also important to remember that mortgage rates are influenced by much more than housing alone. According to Mortgage News Daily, broader economic conditions and bond market activity also played a role in this recent increase.

🤝 Whether you're buying, selling, or simply planning ahead, every situation is different. Don't let the headlines make the decision for you.

📩 If you have questions about today's market, I'm always happy to help.

🏡 You're Not Just Buying a House... You're Buying a Neighborhood.

When buying a home, it's easy to focus on the kitchen, the backyard, or the number of bedrooms.

But one of the biggest decisions you'll make isn't inside the house, it's everything around it.

🚗 Your morning commute.

🌳 The park down the street.

☕ Your favorite local coffee shop.

🚶 Evening walks with the family.

🏫 The community your children will grow up in.

✨ A house can be renovated.

🏡 A neighborhood becomes part of your everyday life.

One of the best pieces of advice I can give is this: Visit the neighborhood more than once. Drive through during rush hour, spend time there on a weekend, and see what life really feels like.

According to Greater Nashville REALTORS® and Zillow's home-buying guidance, choosing the right neighborhood is just as important as choosing the right home.

If you're thinking about buying in Murfreesboro, Nashville, Franklin, Brentwood, Nolensville, or anywhere in Middle Tennessee, I'd be happy to help you find not just the right house but the right place to call home.

💬 What's one thing you love most about your neighborhood?

🍎 What Happens to the Housing Market When School Starts?

As August approaches, the housing market begins its yearly transition. It doesn't stop, it simply changes.

Here are 4 things we typically see across Middle Tennessee:

🏡 1. Families make one last push to close before school starts.

🔑 2. The best homes begin to disappear. While buyers have more choices than they did a few years ago, the most desirable homes are often the first to go.

🎯 3. Buyers become more intentional. After the back-to-school rush, there may be fewer showings but the buyers who are still looking are often more motivated and ready to make decisions.

🍂 4. Fall can actually be a great time to sell. With less competition and serious buyers still in the market, autumn can be an excellent opportunity for many homeowners.

Every market has its seasonal rhythm, but real estate is always local. What's happening in Murfreesboro may look different than Franklin, Brentwood, Nolensville, or Nashville.

If you're wondering whether buying this fall, selling before the holidays, or waiting until spring makes the most sense, I'd be happy to help you build a strategy that fits your goals, not just the headlines.
