FRANKLIN, Tenn. (WTVF) â What is now 14 acres of untamed land could be home to at least 42 families in the future. The median home price, I m always tracking these figures, is about 632-thousand. I ve heard some were above 700,000. I think it s somewhere in between there in the city of Franklin. It s quite, quite staggering, said President & CEO of the Community Housing Partnership of Williamson County, Wayne Weaver.
