What each signal means

Code violations

The city cited the property for its condition. Landlords tired of repairs and owners who can't afford them both show up here.

Usually from: City code enforcement. Weight in Deal Radar's score: 14, halving every 180 days.

Permits

Work is being done: repairs, a remodel or a teardown, sometimes before a sale. A weak signal on its own.

Usually from: Building permits (pre-sale repairs). Weight in Deal Radar's score: 4, halving every 120 days.

Absentee owners

The tax bill goes somewhere other than the property. A landlord or an heir.

Usually from: Assessor: mailing address differs from property. Weight in Deal Radar's score: 6, doesn't fade.

Out-of-state owners

The owner lives in another state, which makes the property harder to manage.

Usually from: Assessor: owner mails out of state. Weight in Deal Radar's score: 9, doesn't fade.

Long-time owners

Owned for decades. Lots of equity, and often a life change coming.

Usually from: Last sale date on the deed. Weight in Deal Radar's score: 6, doesn't fade.

The public feeds

  • Nashville open property standards casesNashville-Davidson County, TN

    Open Metro Codes property standards cases on houses (junk and debris, inoperable vehicles, exterior repair, unsafe conditions) and landlord registration violations, updated daily (about 2,100 open). High grass, sign and short-term rental complaints are left out. The owner of record is in the feed; the detail is the inspector's list of violations noted.

  • Nashville residential rehab, fire-damage and demolition permitsNashville-Davidson County, TN

    Building permits issued on homes for rehabs, fire-loss and storm-damage repairs, re-roofing and siding, and residential demolitions, updated daily (about 4,400 in the layer's rolling window; newest issued 2026-10-29). Fire-damage and storm-damage repairs are the strongest of these; teardowns usually mean the lot has already sold to a builder. The contractor, not the owner, is in the feed.

  • Nashville non-owner-occupied short-term rental permitsNashville-Davidson County, TN

    Homes with a current permit to run as a short-term rental where the owner does not live there (about 5,000), updated daily. Every one is an investor-owned house; the permit owner's name and mailing address are in the feed. Strongest stacked with code cases or out-of-state ownership.

  • Nashville (Davidson County) out-of-state homeownersNashville-Davidson County, TN

    Houses, duplexes to fourplexes and condos whose owner mails outside Tennessee (about 11,000), from Metro's parcel layer (updated daily with new deeds). Large single-family rental operators, banks, servicers and HOAs are dropped by name; LLCs and trusts are kept.

  • Nashville (Davidson County) homes owned 30+ yearsNashville-Davidson County, TN

    Houses and small multifamily whose current owner took title before 1996 (about 15,000), from Metro's parcel layer (updated daily). Long-held homes in a city where values have tripled carry large equity, and many owners are now older. The detail is the date the owner took title.
