Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Polk 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).
Polk County currently leans toward buyers, with the market gauge signaling a clear buyer’s market. Months of supply has risen sharply to 7.6, well above the Tennessee average of 5.3 months. Active listings are also up about 20 percent year over year, giving shoppers more options and bargaining power.
Home values have climbed quickly even with this buyer-friendly tilt. The typical home value is up nearly 40 percent from a year ago, while the median list price has risen about 34 percent in the same period. At the same time, sales activity has cooled, with homes sold down more than 16 percent year over year and pending sales down about 19 percent, a combination that helps keep inventory elevated.
Conditions on the ground show a market that is moving, but with more breathing room for negotiations. Homes now spend a median of 82 days on market, yet that is 32 percent faster than a year ago, and the average sale-to-list ratio has edged up to just under 99 percent with a growing share of homes selling above asking. With Polk County’s prices outpacing the broader state while supply favors buyers, Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with an agent who understands how to navigate these mixed signals and local trends.
Polk County offers residents a welcoming, close-knit community enriched by abundant outdoor recreation, vibrant local events, and opportunities to build a fulfilling, affordable lifestyle.
Polk County stands apart from nearby Chattanooga and Cleveland with its blend of true small‑town life and nationally known outdoor destinations. From the Ocoee River, home of the 1996 Olympic whitewater events at Ocoee Whitewater Center, to the broad views along Cherohala Skyway, the county’s identity is rooted in its landscape and close community ties.
Residents enjoy daily life that revolves around local institutions and traditions. Benton and Copperhill offer practical shopping, locally owned eateries, and community events, while nearby Polk County Schools anchor family routines. Outdoor time is a staple, from hiking in Cherokee National Forest to swimming and paddling at Parksville Lake. Many locals commute to larger employment centers yet return home to quieter streets, familiar faces, and Friday night ballgames.
For buyers, understanding how proximity to the Ocoee, Hiwassee, or Conasauga rivers shapes everything from insurance considerations to weekend traffic is essential. For longtime owners, demand for second homes and short term rentals can influence pricing and timing, especially near key recreation corridors. Whether you are planning a move into Polk County or thinking about listing your property, connecting early with a knowledgeable local agent through Agent Pronto can help you prepare, time your decisions well, and navigate this unique market confidently, for both buying and selling.

“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!”
“Very professional and consistent.”
“When we met Angela for the first time, we were impressed by her Professionalism and Local Knowledge! We knew we had found OUR Realtor! She led our search from Hixon to Red Bank and Harrison to Ooltewah and East Brainerd. We covered a lot of ground and saw dozens of homes. We had not purchased a home in over 30 years, so we had a lot of questions. Angela had all the answers. It was a blessing to find her, and we highly recommend her! Stellar!”
“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.”
“We could not have asked for a better real estate agent. Brittany went above and beyond for us. We came from out of state and her knowledge of the area was so vast. She predicted our every need along the journey of our home purchase experience. Brittany never treated us as a client but more like family. We highly recommend her for your home buying needs.”
“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!”
“We loved working with Norma the entire time we were looking for a new house for a work relocation. We didn't know exactly what area we wanted to buy in and she showed us houses in several different areas and helped provide valuable feedback about each area. Very responsive, very friendly, very easy to work with. I would absolutely work with Norma again and would recommend her to anyone!”
“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.”
“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 !”
“Teresa is the absolute greatest realtor you could ever ask for I wish I could give more than 5 stars. She does more than just helping you find a house, she treats you like family and is sweet, funny and absolutely amazing. She worked with my husband and I to get the perfect forever home and made this whole process stress free and made sure everything would be perfect for us. I will forever and always be grateful for Tersea and her husband”
“Joni helped my wife and I purchase our first home, she made the entire process stress free and easy. I can honestly say if you're looking to buy and want the best experience possible then you can't go wrong with Joni.”
“I had a wonderful experience working with Megan. She was truly exceptional. I was impressed with her level of knowledge and the amount of information she had regarding the housing market. She made the selling process incredibly easy and took extra steps that many other Realtors don’t, like providing staging advice, having professional photographs taken, and much more. I was blown away when I saw the listing, it looked amazing. Her hard work and understanding of what it takes to sell a house really paid off. I received multiple offers and my house was under contract within twenty-four hours of being on the market! She walked me through every step of the closing process and answered any questions that I had. When I am looking to buy or sell again, I will not hesitate to contact her.”
“Ruby Alexander is excellent at everything she does. She previously helped us purchase our home. Ruby is professional, knowledgeable, honest, hard-working, friendly, intuitive, and resourceful. She goes above and beyond the call of duty. We would not have wanted to take the journey of buying or selling our home with anyone else.”
“Jennifer was very helpful in all aspects. There was a house on the property but not liveable so it was property sale. She did the dron fly over so it could be properly viewed. Great job... Great job Jennifer..”
“Tracy was great as usual, she's the one I use for selling or buying. She does a great job! Would definitely recommend her for any real-estate needs. Honest, straightforward and trustworthy. Very good negotiator and communicator. Works constantly getting the deal done, always on time.”
“I’m actually a real estate agent myself in Chattanooga, but who better to review and recommend an agent! I worked as a buyer’s agent with Tim Carter as the listing agent. He is one of the nicest and easiest agents I have worked with. Thanks Tim! Micah”
“I am grateful I had Blake as my realtor. He listened intently on what I wanted in a home, and at a distance (as I was living in Nevada) Blake found me the perfect home. I did not physically see my home until closing day, and it was perfect! He knew what I wanted in a home and did not stop looking until it was found. As we looked at homes, he went the extra mile to check the structure, inside and out, to ensure of the home's quality. Through the whole process, Blake was consistently available when needed, honest and trustworthy, and was always calm under pressure. As I was new to the process of buying a home, he was very knowledgeable about each step and patient with me as he taught me how to move through the process. I would not hesitate to use Blake again and would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone buying a home.”
“Terry was great to work with from start to finish. His knowledge made the entire process from start to finish extremely easy for me, especially as an out of state investor. He made me feel comfortable and really made sure that my best interests were looked out for. I would highly recommend Terry to anyone seeking to purchase real estate in the Chattanooga area, whether as an investment property, primary residence, or secondary residence. I look forward to the next opportunity to work with Terry.”
