Things To Do In Knoxville: International Biscuit Festival
Looking for something to do this weekend? Well it’s biscuit time in Knoxville. Actually it’s always biscuit time in Knoxville but this time of year is especially biscuity. It’s time for the International Biscuit Festival which is held annually right here in downtown Knoxville. Per their website, “The International Biscuit Festival, now in it’s 5th year, attracts more than 25,000 people to this regional celebration of the best of all foods – the biscuit. I know you might be thinking, biscuit festival, probably some po-dunk little get together, but not true. With partners like, Food Network, Southern Living, Mast General Store, Clayton Bank, Blackberry Farm, Southern Biscuit, Applewood Farm, Lipton Tea, and more, this is a big deal. I recommend you come out and see for yourself.
Why Are There Not Enough Homes For Sale In Knoxville?
Ask most Knoxville real estate agents and they will tell you that there is a shortage of good homes for sale in Knoxville. There are plenty of buyers in the market right now, and many are having trouble finding a home that suits them. In fact, the supply of homes in Knoxville has DECREASED by 15.6% from one year ago and is DOWN 8.1% year to date. Why is that?
The “Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers Report” released by the National Association of REALTORS shows that the median tenure, or the amount of time a person lives in their home before buying another, has increased from 6 years to 9 years within the last 4 years. 
Here are the 5 reasons I believe we are seeing a shortage of homes for sale in Knoxville:
- There are still some sellers who are underwater in their mortgages. Also in the “Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers Report”, seller’s were asked if they wanted to sell earlier but waited because their home was worth less than their mortgage. 13% of recent sellers who went on to purchase another home reported being in this situation. That is 13% who sold and bought again, so that doesn’t take into account the sellers still waiting.
- Sellers whose property values decreased are waiting to build up their equity. Similar to reason #1, these sellers saw the value of their home decrease during the downturn in the market. Typically, most seller’s will use the equity in the home they are selling to provide the down payment money on the home they are buying. With many lenders looking for 20% down payment, these sellers are waiting for their equity to build back up so they can have enough money for a down payment on a new home.
- As home prices dropped a few years ago and interest rates hit record lows, housing affordability hit record levels as well. This allowed those buying at this time, to buy more home for the money than was possible in the past. Because of this, first time home buyers and other buyers who might normally be trading up to a larger or more upgraded home aren’t doing so. They purchased it the first go around, most likely with a great interest rate that is keeping their payment low, and therefore are choosing to stay in their homes longer. The same holds true for sellers who refinanced their homes at historically low interest rates. Those low, locked in rates, make buying a new home at a higher interest rate that much harder of a decision.
- The inventory of new construction homes as well as distressed properties are both very low in Knoxville. These are two categories that historically supplement existing housing inventory. While low amounts of distressed property is not a bad thing, until new home construction is ramped up, we may continue to see low inventory numbers in general. Lack of new construction is pushing buyers into purchasing existing homes, which puts further downward pressure on inventory and upward pressure on existing home prices.
- Those of us who have lived in Knoxville for at least 4 years know that 2011 brought a severe hail storm through the area that did some major damage to homes. Areas like Farragut and many other communities throughout Knoxville were hammered by the storm. As a result, most homeowners not only got new roofs paid for by their insurance, but new windows, siding, decks, patios, doors, and more. Many owners were able to do major updates on their homes with little, to no money out of pocket. New decks and patios turned into new outdoor entertaining spaces. New windows and doors turned into lower utility costs. New siding turned a tired looking house into something fresh. I believe this is another major reason for our inventory shortage. Many homeowners pushed “refresh” on their existing homes in 2011-2012, and had that not happened, they would probably be a large pool of sellers looking to upgrade and putting their homes on the market.

Knoxville Real Estate vs. National Real Estate in Q1
Buyers and sellers of Knoxville real estate need to be very careful what they believe when listening to the media about the housing market. Sure you can believe most of the numbers you hear, but you can’t necessarily translate what those numbers say to your local market. REAL ESTATE IS LOCAL. Here are some good examples which show how our local Knoxville real estate market is bucking the trends of the national housing market.
A recent article in the Wall Street Journal titled, “Why the Nation’s Hot Housing Market Is Cooling, Slightly” made the following statements:
“The housing market showed signs of cooling in the first quarter as the supply of homes for sale expanded and lofty prices put a damper on demand in recent months. A key driver of the price slowdown was an increase in the supply of existing homes listed for sale in the first quarter, which expanded by 3.1% from a year earlier..”
- When we compare this statement against our local Knoxville real estate numbers we differ quite a bit. Where the national market “showed signs of cooling” in the first quarter of the year, the Knoxville market’s PENDING home sales are up 14.3% from one year ago and up 15.5% year to date (refer to chart at bottom of the page). April numbers show the trend continuing as PENDING home sales were up 21.8% from last year and 17.7% YTD.
- If a “key driver to the nation’s price slowdown was an increase in the supply of existing homes in the first quarter”… what happened in Knoxville? The supply of homes has DECREASED by 15.6% from one year ago and is DOWN 8.1% year to date (refer to chart at bottom of page). Logic would tell us that if the increased inventory is making the nation’s price growth slow, then Knoxville’s decreased inventory would do the opposite. This seems to be proving accurate as noted in my recent article, “List Prices Are Rising Fast On Knoxville Real Estate” that showed list prices rising by 2.1% in a one month period between March and April.
I just hope this example will make you think twice when you hear news about the housing market on the national media. Your best source of learning the status of your local Knoxville real estate market is a local, Knoxville real estate agent.

List Prices Are Rising Fast On Knoxville Real Estate
The prices at which sellers of Knoxville real estate are listing their homes is rising quickly. The year over year increase in the median list price of homes in Knoxville as evidenced by my research is 9.38%. However the telling factor is that the median increase that has been witnessed in the last month (between March and April) was 2.1%. That a pretty big jump for just one month.
Nationally, list prices rose just 0.8% month-over-month and increased 9.0% year-over-year, the smallest gain in 11 months according to an analysis of data from Trulia’s Price Monitor and Rent Monitor.
The combination of a slow year over year increase both locally and nationally and a big month to month jump locally tells me that the Knoxville market is heating up fast. If we look outside these numbers we can see further evidence of this. For example, the last 4 homes I have listed in differing price points ($180,000, $350,000, $400,000, and $500,000) all went under contract with an average of 11.25 days.
Knoxville real estate inventory is still low which is adding fuel to the fire of rising prices. Prices rise when demand is high and supply is low. So if you are thinking about selling your home in Knoxville, now is the time! If you are thinking about buying a home in Knoxville keep in mind that you will have plenty of competition, so make sure you are utilizing the guidance of an agent that can help navigate what could be a turbulent ride. Within the last month I’ve assisted three different buyers in multiple offer situations and I am happy to say that two out of the three were able to secure the home (2 out of the 3 also took my advice 🙂
