Please keep in mind that Belle Meade has different types of waterfront and this makes a huge difference when making comparisons. You will have canal-front homes facing the marina. You will have Belle Meade Island homes on the canal or open bay and you will have bay-front homes on actual Belle Meade. Although there are not a lot of sales to be able to make the right comparisons, Belle Meade Island because of its double privacy (second security gate), is more desirable and we have seen new construction in the past few years, bringing upper luxury tier to the area.
The highest priced waterfront home in Belle Meade right now is asking $8.45 Million (new construction bay front on Belle Meade Island), and the lowest priced waterfront home is asking $1.695 Million – canal front facing Belle Meade Island.
Belle Meade Dry-Lot Homes – Price per Square Foot
Take a look at the changes in average price per square foot for homes NOT on the water in Belle Meade:

| 2016 | $347/SF |
It’s interesting to see a slight decrease in price per square foot from 2017 to 2018 but notice it’s only a difference of $5. Because of the lack of movement in Belle Meade, this actually identifies the area as a stable market. A lot of the sales in 2018 were fixer-uppers, which also affects this figure. This will be a number to keep a close eye on in 2019, especially with all the remodeling and construction evident in the area.
In 2016, the highest priced sale in Belle Meade for a non-waterfront home was $840,000 compared to $739,000 in 2017 and $949,000 in 2018.
