Information and statistics on the latest trends in the McMinn 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).
Inventory in McMinn County has tightened slightly, with about 342 active listings, a small increase from a year ago but down from August. New listings have dropped sharply month over month and are also down more than 25 percent from last year, which is starting to constrain options for shoppers. Even with fewer new homes coming on, closed sales are up nearly 18 percent year over year, and pending contracts are only slightly below last year.
Prices are reacting to this push and pull between demand and supply. The typical home value is up almost 23 percent compared with last September, while the median list price is only a bit higher than a year ago and even edged down from August, suggesting sellers are testing the upper end less aggressively.
Homes are taking longer to sell, with the median days on market rising to 76, about 28 percent higher than last year, yet months of supply has dropped to around four months, well below the statewide level of 5.3 months and signaling a tighter balance than in Tennessee overall. Fewer properties are selling above list price than just a month ago, and the average sale-to-list ratio is holding near 96 percent, so buyers have some room to negotiate even as values trend higher. Whether you are a buyer trying to interpret these shifting signals or a seller aiming to price correctly, Agent Pronto can connect you with a McMinn County agent who understands this market.
McMinn County offers residents a welcoming, family-friendly community with abundant outdoor recreation, rich history, and strong opportunities for work, education, and entrepreneurship.
McMinn County stands out from nearby Knox County and Hamilton County with its quieter pace, strong manufacturing and agricultural roots, and quick access to both Chattanooga and Knoxville. Centered around Athens, the county blends small town routines with regional employers, local schools, and long running family businesses.
Residents gather at places like historic Athens Downtown for events, dining, and courthouse square traditions, while Tennessee Wesleyan University adds college town energy and arts. Outdoor time is easy to find at Athens Regional Park, along the Hiwassee River Blueway, or exploring nearby Etowah and the gateway to the Cherokee National Forest.
Neighborhoods range from established streets in Englewood and Niota to newer subdivisions outside town, with options for first time buyers, move up families, and downsizers. Local schools through McMinn County Schools and community services such as the McMinn County Living Heritage Museum support a strong sense of place and history.
With interest in East Tennessee continuing to grow, timing and preparation matter. Whether you are listing a longtime family home or competing for a property near town, the right local agent can help you understand shifts in pricing, inventory, and demand. Agent Pronto connects buyers and sellers in McMinn County with real estate professionals who know how to position you for success in this market.

“Elle did such a wonderful job helping us purchase our new home! She always communicated quickly with us throughout the whole process, she is very friendly and relatable, she has a lot of connections, and was able to find answers to our questions with ease each time!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Cameron (Cam) is an excellent agent. We wish we had met him earlier in our process. He is a very dedicated professional with a work ethic beyond compare. He responds super fast and helps steer through issues with ease. He takes his own photo’s which were much better than previous “professional photo’s. We just closed on our home in a very short time.”
“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!”
“Shelly is the best around! This comment section wouldn’t give me enough room to describe how fabulous she is. From the very beginning to the very end, and even once we got settled in our new home, she has provided the highest level of support. I would recommend her all day!”
“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!”
“Heather Hague was our listing agent and we had two solid offers on our home on the first day and we were under contract within two days! Heather was there to answer questions and give her advice whenever we asked. She came to us with strategies for home improvements (and what we didn't need to spend money on) and how to market our home most effectively. She also works with an incredible photographer and he brought out the absolute best in our home. Not only did she save us a lot of money, but she made us a lot as well.”
“Shanna was absolutely amazing to work with from start to finish! She made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth, organized, and even enjoyable. From the very beginning, she was attentive, knowledgeable, and always available to answer our questions—no matter how small. What really stood out to us was how much she genuinely cared. Shanna didn’t just treat us like clients; she treated us like family. She took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for and guided us every step of the way with patience and professionalism. Her attention to detail, communication, and dedication gave us complete confidence throughout the entire process. We always felt like we were in good hands, and that peace of mind meant everything to us. Thanks to Shanna, we are now happily settling into our new home, and we truly couldn’t have done it without her. We’re so grateful not only for her expertise but also for the friendship we’ve built along the way. If you’re looking for a Realtor who is trustworthy, hardworking, and truly goes above and beyond, we highly recommend Shanna!”
“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!”
“I work with dozens of agents nationwide each month, and Jim stands out as one of the best I’ve partnered with. He brings a rugged Tennessee work ethic paired with sharp professionalism in every interaction. His advice is straightforward, honest, and on point—no fluff, just what you need to move forward confidently. Jim is also exceptional at managing deals, keeping everything on track while making sure communication stays clear and consistent for everyone involved. He knows how to handle the bumps without slowing things down. A true pro and a reliable partner—I’d confidently recommend him to friends and family.”
“Chad spent a lot of time with us trying to find the right home. As we were out of state when we started looking this was not an easy process. Chad was always very responsive and knowledgeable about the area. We were originally looking for a fixer upper and he informed us when we were looking in an area he felt would not be suited for us. We eventually moved here and leased while we searched for a home. Chad stuck with us and we finally found the perfect home. He kept us informed at all times and made the process of closing very easy. Definitely recommend him.”
“Working with Devin Couillard was an absolute game changer! He truly went above and beyond—always responsive, honest, and strategic in helping us find the perfect home. His knowledge of the Chattanooga area and negotiation skills are unmatched. Devin made the process smooth, stress-free, and even fun. If you’re buying or selling, you need Devin in your corner—he’s not just a Realtor®, he’s your real estate ally for life!”
“Paige did an excellent job of scheduling housing tours. She also was very helpful with explaining paperwork and keeping us up to date on the buying and closing process. She was helpful and quick to respond with communication.”
“Brittany did a fantastic job helping us find the property of our dreams. She’s very responsive and eager to answer any questions you have along the way. She’ll listen to your wish list and find the right property for you. Would definitely recommend.”
“Megan was very kind, knowledgeable, and a joy to deal with. I would highly recommend her for your real estate needs. She is attentive and does everything she can to make sure your questions are answered and that you are completely satisfied with the transaction.”
“Nikki is an amazing realtor and person! She worked so hard to get my house sold. Great at communication. She will work her for all of her clients. She knows the area and the market.”
“My husband and I relocated from Texas to Tennessee in July. Chris joined our journey before we even decided we were moving. He took the time to show us houses before knowing we were 100% in the market. Once we decided to make the move he continued showing us homes while we were in Texas via FaceTime. Chris went above and beyond. About 5 minutes before any FaceTime call he did to show us a house, he would send over a video of the neighborhood or the view of the drive in. When potentially buying a house without actually seeing it, this kind of service is unmatched! We were so thankful he was willing to give us the full picture of what we were buying! I remember asking him for advice on our home we were selling back in Texas and him giving it with no issues. He is very knowledgeable about both buying and selling, and we will be using him to sell our home when that time comes! Overall just a great guy! It takes a certain level of experience and expertise to maintain professionalism and also make you feel like you’re family. If you’re looking for the best realtor, Chris is your guy!”
“Hannah was the best ! Being a first time homebuyer I was overwhelmed specially moving from another state and she made this process as simple as can be. From finding me houses and showing me them everything went so smooth from start to finish. She made my house buying experience the best !”
