Despite soaring market, it's cheaper to rent in Nashville

It's cheaper to rent than to buy a home in Nashville, according to a new report by real estate database ATTOM.

• The data reflects soaring prices and a red-hot housing market.

Between the lines: Renting was also more affordable in Williamson and Wilson counties.

• Sumner, Robertson and Cheatham counties fared better for homebuyers.

Yes, but: Rent is also getting more expensive across the city, especially in the urban core.
