Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Union 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).
Union County is currently tilted toward sellers, with the market gauge at 44 even though conditions are not extremely tight. A months-of-supply figure of 3.6 keeps inventory below the statewide level of 5.3 months in Tennessee, which helps support seller leverage.
Prices have cooled recently, yet they still sit well above last year’s levels. The typical home value is about $319,000, reflecting a double-digit year-over-year increase, even as the median list price is down slightly from a year ago and dropped sharply month over month.
Activity is picking up as more homes change hands and new options come to market. Homes sold climbed nearly 20 percent from a year ago and new listings are up more than 30 percent year over year, while buyers are taking longer to commit with a median 75 days on market and only about 9 percent of sales closing above list, and Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with an experienced local agent to navigate these mixed signals.
Union County offers residents a welcoming blend of small-town charm, plentiful outdoor recreation, strong community services, and a growing local economy.
Union County offers small-town living with direct access to Knoxville and key routes like Highway 33, giving residents a practical balance between quiet communities and regional jobs, hospitals, and universities. Lakefront neighborhoods near Norris Lake appeal to boaters and anglers, while more rural areas provide acreage and privacy for those seeking space.
Outdoor recreation is a daily convenience. Residents enjoy Big Ridge State Park for hiking, swimming, and camping, and the nearby Chuck Swan State Forest offers miles of trails and wildlife viewing. The Union County Chamber of Commerce highlights local festivals, small businesses, and services that keep the community connected.
Families appreciate schools in the Union County Public Schools system, and the public Maynardville Public Library provides learning resources and programs for all ages. Daily errands are simple, with grocery options, local diners, and quick trips into Knox County or Anderson County for larger retail hubs. Commuters often travel to Knoxville, while nearby Grainger County and Claiborne County expand work and recreation options.
Housing ranges from starter homes near town centers to lake cottages and countryside properties. Because each pocket of Union County has its own character, a knowledgeable local agent can clarify school zones, commute patterns, and waterfront regulations, helping reduce stress and streamline decisions. Agent Pronto connects both buyers and sellers with the right Union County expert to make every move more manageable.

“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.”
“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!”
“When my husband and I were beginning our house hunting journey, we just knew we would get stuck with a stereotypical real-estate agent. I'm here to say Joshua is definitely not that! I'd say far from it, in the best way possible! Joshua is real and down to earth. He is not here to sale you a house. He's here to guide you to your future home. His background in home inspection is asset to both him and you. While you aww and ahh over a potential house, he's walking it over. Maybe even getting on the roof, lol. He's going to give you the real facts about the house and will tell you up front about potential problems with the property. We didn't have the biggest budget and our experience had some bumps in the road, but Joshua was always there making us feel like a priority and found solutions to our bumps. FYI, none of the bumps had anything to do with him. We truly felt blessed to have him in our corner! We are beyond thankful for everything he did to get us in our home!”
“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.”
“PG is by far the best Real Estate agent I have ever had. Not only did he help me find the perfect home, but he helped me through the process of my previous residence. He was able to answer every single question that I had, he responded to me in a timely manner, and he was able to save me quite a bit of money with his negotiation skills. I also have kids and he made it especially fun and easy for them. As far as I am concerned, PG is my Real Estate agent for life.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Wafa was with me every step of the way. Clear and concise communication was such a calming factor in the whole process. I was never left wondering or needing to know what to do next. She was right there with me to make sure I was comfortable with the process. I will absolutely be recommending her to anyone I know who is buying/selling a home. Could not have asked for a better person to help me through this major step in my life.”
“Blake Rickels helped my wife and me purchase our home in the Old Washington Pike area of Knoxville, Tennessee. We were purchasing from out of town, and Blake made the entire process much easier by staying responsive, explaining every step, and handling details that we could not manage in person. He guided us through the offer, inspection, roofing issues, financing, and closing, and he continued helping us even after the sale was completed. Blake has extensive knowledge of the Knoxville real estate market and genuinely looks out for his clients. We would highly recommend Blake Rickels and Blake Rickels Group, Century 21 Legacy to anyone buying a home or relocating to the Knoxville 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!”
“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!”
“Cherie assisted us with selling our home recently as well as buying our new home. When it came to selling our home, she was was professional and courteous as well as motivated and helped us through every step of the way, including finding a cleaner last minute to list our property sooner. She researched the area prior to listing our property and even reached out to multiple realtors who had listings in the area to get input and helpful information to be able to sell our property. She was eager and located to sell and hosted multiple open houses and thankfully, due to her expertise, our house was pending in less than 3 weeks. She was always very responsive and professional but also caring and made an effort to include and involve my entire family. I couldn’t recommend her enough!”
“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.”
“Adam is the most helpful realtor I have ever worked with, he is the only one i use now. He always answers his phone and goes above and beyond to help out with any questions i have involving purchasing land or selling homes!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Linda did fantastic Job throughout the entire process. Could not have been more comfortable with her expertise and knowledge of the home market. Sold my house in one day. She knows her business well!! Thanks Linda”
