GREENBRIER, Tenn. (WKRN) — New homes are going up in Robertson County. The county has seen growth, but not massive subdivisions with thousands of homes. However, that could change. So, how is Robertson County working to keep its rural charm? 

"You get a lot more home for your money up here than you do in the Nashville area," explained Andy Knifley. "It's just a nice place to live."

Knifley has called Robertson County home his whole life. Now as broker-owner of the The AndySoldIt Team at Keller Williams Realty, he shares the Robertson County lifestyle with others. From Adams to White House and Greenbrier in between, Robertson County is filled with charming small towns that have big city access. 

"It's not that far, pretty easy access, more home for your money up here. And like I said, lower property taxes — that really helps out," said Knifley. 

Knifley showed News 2 a 2,300 square-foot, new construction home in Greenbrier sitting on more than an acre and a half, and priced at $625,000.

"To find something with almost two acres in the Nashville area, you're looking at $800,000, $900,000, $1.1 million, $1.2 million. You come up here, it's $500,000, $600,000." 

Knifley said after the pandemic housing boom, prices have stabilized. According to data from the Robertson County Association of Realtors, inventory is up as high as 34% from August 2024 to 2025, and median sales price is up 2% sitting at $375,000. 

"It has helped flatline or kinda stagnate some of those prices. We have not seen that continual rise like we have the last four or five years." 

Homebuyers have taken notice to Robertson County's relative affordability. Northeast of Springfield, crews are moving dirt for a more than 100-home subdivision.   

"For us, that's actually a large development. Most of our developments over the last few years have been 20, 30, 50 homes. Nothing like a 200. And definitely nothing like a 4,000, 5,000," said Knifley. 

But a much larger subdivision could be coming in the next few decades. Renderings of Vesper Village show a mixed use space may transform the southwest side of Springfield with several thousand new homes over the coming decades. There's been vocal opposition to the project, but Knifley said that the change could be a good thing. He shares his advice for Robertson County leaders:

"Look 15, 20, 25 years down the road. Stop looking at today. Things are changing whether you want it to or not. And you can either embrace it, yet control it."
