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 (May 2026).
Inventory in Knox County has expanded, with active listings up a little over 5% year over year to 3,439, while statewide supply is higher at 5.1 months compared with the county’s 3.4 months. Contract activity is mixed, as homes sold climbed nearly 6% from last year to 800, but pending sales slipped about 4%, suggesting some softening in new buyer commitments.
Pricing is holding relatively steady, with the typical home value around $400,000 and essentially flat compared with a year ago. List prices are still pushing upward, rising just over 4% year over year, yet the share of homes selling above list has edged down slightly to about 21%, signaling buyers have a bit more room to negotiate.
Time on market has shifted noticeably, with the median days on market jumping to 50, more than triple last year’s level even as it improved from April. Despite this longer marketing time, Knox County remains a seller-leaning environment, as months of supply are well below the state overall and the average sale-to-list ratio is just under 99%. Buyers who want to navigate rising inventory and changing pricing dynamics, and sellers who aim to price correctly and capture strong offers, can both benefit from having Agent Pronto connect them with a local expert agent.
Knox County offers residents a welcoming, dynamic community with strong schools, abundant outdoor recreation, a thriving arts and culture scene, diverse dining, and reliable local services and opportunities.
Knox County anchors a major metro area with a strong university presence, a busy airport, and quick access to both city conveniences and outdoor recreation. Centered on Knoxville, the county stretches from walkable historic districts to newer suburban neighborhoods, giving residents a wide range of housing styles and price points.
Daily life is shaped by easy connectivity. McGhee Tyson Airport and I 40 put regional and national travel within reach, while greenways connect neighborhoods to destinations like World’s Fair Park and Ijams Nature Center. Families often focus on proximity to schools, from Knox County Schools’ zoned campuses to options near the University of Tennessee Knoxville and downtown cultural spots such as the East Tennessee History Center.
Entertainment and dining cluster around Market Square, Old City, and growing corridors in Farragut and Powell, while parks and waterfront access along the Tennessee River appeal to buyers who value time outside. Commute patterns can vary significantly between neighborhoods like Bearden and Halls Crossroads, so choosing the right area has a direct impact on daily routine and budget.
Local real estate agents who know Knox County’s roads, school zones, utility providers, and future development plans can simplify complex decisions and reduce stress at every step. Agent Pronto connects both buyers and sellers with those trusted local experts, helping each move stay focused, informed, and manageable.
