Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Bristol real estate market, updated for May 2026. *
Bristol is sitting in a neutral market right now, with a market gauge of 47 indicating neither buyers nor sellers have a clear upper hand. Typical home values are around $253,425, lower than the Kingsport metro’s $270,000, while inventory sits at 94 homes, giving about 4.7 months of supply.
Several forces are pulling the market in different directions, which helps explain this balance. Home values jumped 22.43% month over month even as they are down 7.81% year over year, and the median list price slipped 7.08% from the prior month to about $239,250, suggesting some sellers are adjusting expectations.
Conditions on the ground show a mix of patience and price flexibility. Homes are taking longer to sell, with median days on market up 18.42% month over month to 90 days, and about 34% of listings see a price drop while only 5% sell above list with an average sale-to-list ratio near 0.94. Inventory has grown 8.05% month over month and 13.25% year over year, with 40 new listings up 53.85% from last year but pending sales down 35.48%, and both buyers and sellers can turn to Agent Pronto to connect with a local expert who understands these shifting dynamics and can guide their next move.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.

“I cannot recommend Wes Sparks at eXp Realty highly enough! My father and I recently worked with Wes to sell my father's home, and the entire experience was seamless, professional, and incredibly successful. From our very first meeting, it was clear that Wes is an expert in his field. He brought a wealth of market knowledge and a strategic approach that gave us immediate confidence. Selling a family home can often be an emotional and complex process, but Wes handled everything with the utmost respect and patience.”

I came into this as a first-time homebuyer and she was so patient and willing to explain things multiple times without me feeling as though I was a burden which is a big source of anxiety for me going into this. Bree made a time that is a huge stress for most people feel completely managable. I put a lot of trust in her and she exceeded my expectations every step of the way. My next purchase is a long way off but I hope when that time comes I have the pleasure of working with Bree again!”

From the initial search to the final closing, her attention to detail and proactive communication meant that no step was overlooked. Because of her commitment to keeping us informed, we transitioned into homeownership feeling fully prepared and confident. For any first-time buyer looking for a realtor who prioritizes both professional execution and client education, we cannot recommend Carla highly enough.”

“James was amazing coming in and telling me exactly what needed to be done in order to sell and get what was needed out of it. James made a couple calls and had contractors in the house the very next Monday. 2 weeks later the house was complete and ready to be staged and on the market. James knows the market and how to make things happen. 48hrs on market and contract was on house!
