Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Cocke County real estate market. *
September 2026
Monthly data for the latest available year.
Monthly supply and activity totals for the latest available year.
Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Sep 2026).
Cocke County currently sits in neutral territory, with conditions balanced between buyers and sellers. The market gauge reads 55, reflecting that neither side has a clear upper hand. Inventory stands at about 5.1 months of supply, close to the statewide level of 5.3 months in Tennessee.
Prices have been edging higher while still tracking below the statewide median. The typical home value is about $299,000, up a few percent from a year ago but notably under Tennessee’s median sale price of around $374,000. Sellers are asking more, with the median list price jumping nearly 40 percent year over year and rising sharply month over month as well.
Activity has picked up compared with last year, pointing to a busier market. Homes sold in September are up more than 60 percent year over year, and new listings have also increased over that time, even though they dipped slightly from the prior month. Properties spend a median of 67 days on the market, and only about 13 percent are closing above list price, while the average sale-to-list ratio sits just over 95 percent. With conditions finely balanced between negotiating power and opportunity, Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with a local Cocke County agent who understands these trends.
Cocke County offers residents a welcoming, family-friendly community with abundant outdoor recreation, affordable living, and a growing mix of small businesses and cultural events.
Cocke County stands out from nearby mountain destinations by feeling unhurried and authentically local, yet still close to Sevierville and Knoxville. Daily life here is shaped by the landscape, with the Great Smoky Mountains National Park to the south and the Cherokee National Forest to the east, giving residents easy access to hiking, fishing, and scenic drives.
Newport serves as the county’s main hub, with practical shopping, healthcare, and schools, including Cocke County High School. Families and long‑time residents gather at spots like the Newport City Park along the Pigeon River, and events from local sports to seasonal festivals add a small‑town rhythm to the calendar. The Cocke County Partnership highlights local businesses, from family diners to river outfitters that attract visitors for rafting and outdoor recreation.
Housing options range from in‑town homes in Newport to acreage, farm properties, and mountain cabins that appeal to second‑home buyers and investors. With interest growing from people relocating out of larger metros such as Asheville, timing and preparation matter. Understanding seasonal demand, short‑term rental rules, and local pricing trends can make a real difference.
Whether you are a long‑time resident considering a sale or a newcomer hoping to secure the right property, Agent Pronto can connect you with a Cocke County real estate agent who knows how to guide both buyers and sellers.

“If the rating was highest of 10, I would give Katelyn a 20 in all aspects. She was on top of EVERYTHING at all times. She is a sweetheart and so personable with us. I absolutely loved her, she made our experience wonderful.”
“Tracey was absolutely wonderful to work with throughout the home-buying process! She was helpful, knowledgeable, responsive, and truly had my best interests at heart. She made a stressful process feel so much easier and was there to answer questions and guide me every step of the way. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home. If you’re looking for a realtor who genuinely cares about her clients and goes above and beyond, she's the one!”
“I highly recommend Khristy Cooper for anyone looking to buy real estate in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee! Khristy was a tremendous help throughout the entire process of purchasing my Airbnb investment property. Her knowledge of the local market, professionalism, responsiveness, and attention to detail made the experience much smoother and less stressful. She was there to answer my questions, provide guidance, and help me navigate the process with confidence. Purchasing an investment property can be overwhelming, but Khristy made me feel supported every step of the way. If you’re looking to purchase a home, vacation property, or Airbnb investment in the Tennessee Smoky Mountains, I would absolutely recommend working with Khristy Cooper. She truly cares about her clients and goes the extra mile to make the buying experience a positive one. Thank you, Khristy, for all your help in making my Smoky Mountain Airbnb purchase a reality!”
“Jonathan was very helpful, and pleasant. Jonathan sent me many interesting homes in the price range decided upon, in the selected geographic area. We didn't negotiate the home price, I accepted asking price, with the home as is. I would highly recommend Jonathan to help you search for your home to buy.”
“Mike was knowledgeable about the area and understanding what was important to get our property sold. We had a very unique property that he was able to market and price very well. He was extremely efficient and helpful in the entire process, even before we officially decided to work with him, he took time to research and inform us on tax status that we were unaware of in order to successfully accomplish the goal of selling our property. He was patient but also urgent in his communication and helping us everything needed to reach our goal. We would definitely work with him again and refer him to others! 10/10 highly recommend!”
“Mark helped me turn the next chapter of my life into a reality. I wanted to put my personal home on the market so I could move forward and purchase my dream home, but after working with three different agents over two years, I had experienced plenty of false promises and very little communication. Then I met Mark. He was straightforward, honest, and gave me practical advice about what needed to change. He helped me position my home properly, and the difference was immediate. My home started getting showings, and before I knew it, we were under contract and SOLD! Mark didn’t just help me sell my home — he helped me take the next step toward the home I had always dreamed of owning. I highly recommend Mark to anyone looking for a professional, communicative, and results-focused real estate agent. Thank you, Mark, for helping make it happen!”
“When my wife and I set out on our homebuying journey we were nervous about teaming up with the right Realtor. Then we found Jeremiah. Jeremiah is knowledgeable, personable, and a genuinely good guy. He helped us every step of the way through the homebuying process. My wife and I are so thankful and grateful to have had Jeremiah on our team. He is the best of the best.”
“Brooke sold us two properties, one rural hunting property that will be built on someday and a residential property until then. She serviced both spectrums for us.”
“Brandy is awesome, best agent I've ever dealt with, honest and trustworthy. She will go out of your way to help you identify potential problems with properties, as well as point out great features of properties you might not be aware of. She is punctual and is very friendly.”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better real estate agent! She was incredibly patient and supportive throughout the entire process and was always there when I had a question, needed an update, or just needed a little reassurance. Communication was excellent from beginning to end, and she truly went above and beyond to help keep everything moving and make the closing process as smooth as possible. Buying a home can definitely be stressful, but having someone who genuinely cared and was willing to put in the extra effort made such a difference. I’m so thankful for everything she did for me and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!”
“We've been looking for an investment cabin in the Smokies and reached out to Tiffany Mills at Jet Real Estate after talking with a few other agents. She stood out right away because she understood the vacation rental market, not just real estate in general. She talked with us about different areas, rental potential, and what to watch out for when buying a cabin. Tiffany has been great to work with and has never made us feel pressured. It's nice having someone who actually understands the market and wants to help you make a smart investment instead of just selling you a house. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a cabin in the area.”
“We had an outstanding experience working with our Amber! She guided us through both the sale of our home and the purchase of our new one with professionalism, knowledge, and genuine care. She was always available to answer questions, kept us informed every step of the way, and made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and manageable. Her attention to detail, dedication, and commitment to our best interests were evident from start to finish. We always felt like a priority, and her expertise gave us confidence in every decision we made. We are incredibly grateful for everything she did to help our family through this exciting transition. We highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. She truly goes above and beyond!”
“Abe was wonderful! My daughter had a positive experience with Abe last year so I knew we were in good hands! She helped me get Mom into her beautiful new home with no delays or troubles, even with Mom 700 miles away! She made sure we had what we needed, understood the contracts clearly and was always a quick return call or email! I highly recommend Abe and am so pleased with how our transaction went thanks to her understanding and knowledge! Thank you Abe!”
“Tammy was an absolute pleasure to work with. Her and her Husband, Chad went above and beyond to find me exactly what I wanted for what I wanted to pay. No question went unanswered. They are truly wonderful people to work with! Highly recommended. 5 star service and experience. Thank you Tammy and Chad!”
“Jessica is an amazing Realtor. She truly cares about the people she works with and goes above and beyond to make her clients transition a smooth one. We just loved working with her and will definitely work with her again. She is great for vacation homes too both in the Smokies and Panama City Beach FL. Her knowledge of short term rentals helped us tremendously.”
“Chris came in as a second realtor to sell our home. After having a negative experience with our first realtor Chris was a breath of fresh air. From the start he made the process simple and communication was very easy. He was open to any and all questions no matter how silly or repetitive they may have seemed. As first time home sellers who didn’t have much experience in real estate Chris ensured we were taken care of and communicated every step of the process. Would recommend working with Chris as your realtor!”
“Rasa Baldino proved to be an excellent realtor and was wonderful to work with. She offered valuable recommendations regarding the decor and appearance of our cabin. We implemented those recommendations which helped attract potential buyers and the cabin sold quickly thereafter. We have recommended Rasa to others and will definitely use her again should the opportunity arise.”
“Lori is a great Godly woman. She is going to be honest and she will work for you. She will make sure to go above and beyond in whatever way she can for you.”
“We were first connected with Elena Tarsitani in the summer of 2021 through my mom, who’s a realtor in California. From the moment she reached out, Elena made us feel seen, supported, and completely at ease. During our visit that June, we finally got to meet in person — and right away, it felt like we were reconnecting with an old friend. She was so warm, genuine, encouraging, and down-to-earth. She shared her own story of moving cross-country from Southern California, and gave us so much valuable insight and advice on how to prepare for our move, both logistically and emotionally. Life kept pushing our timeline back, year after year, but Elena never wavered. She stayed in touch, checked in, and always made it clear that when we were ready, she’d be there. And she truly was. In April 2025, we finally made the leap — and Elena met us with open arms and her signature optimism. Over just two days, she showed us nearly 20 homes — and never once made us feel rushed or overwhelmed. She was patient, encouraging, and constantly reminded us that the right place would come. And it did. Because of Elena’s dedication and skill, we had our offer accepted below list price, with seller-paid concessions and closing costs — something we didn’t think was even possible. But more than the deal itself, what made this experience so meaningful was having Elena by our side every step of the way. She truly went above and beyond — not just as a realtor, but as someone who genuinely cared about us and our journey. We feel so lucky to have found not only an amazing professional but a beautiful soul who we now consider a friend. Thank you, Elena, from the bottom of our hearts. We’ll be forever grateful for your guidance, your kindness, and your belief in us. THANK YOU, ELENA! I will refer you to everyone I know!!”
“Billy! What can we say? When considering a property agent of any kind, Billy is the bottle they keep locked in a lit case above the top shelf stuff. His innate KSA's of things to consider, inspection points, and pesky paperwork wording to name a few are polished, honed, and a mastery of his chosen craft. Always punctual with phone response and showings. Supremely affable, a joy to be around, and for us he felt like part of our family. He's exceptionally well networked through East TN including, geography, title companies, loan agents, builders, and general hand-men. Billy brings great credit upon his affiliated company, the real estate industry, and himself. Billy, a home grown Volunteer, thank you and salute good sir.”
