March Knoxville Area Housing Market Snapshot

April 9, 2019 By Troy Stavros

Here’s how the current real estate market is doing all around Knoxville. Remember, real estate is hyper local, meaning your county may show one thing but your specific subdivision or home may be doing something completely different. Hit me up for an analysis! Here is what is happening in the West Knoxville/Farragut real estate market. Home sales are down in Farragut compared to the same time last year, median sales price is up slightly, and we’ve seen a nice uptick in the amount of available inventory. This is good if you are looking to buy in Farragut! The 37922 zip code in West Knoxville saw a nice jump in price, but home sales are down, most likely because of the decline in available inventory. Interested in what your personal home analysis would look like? Call or text me at 865-236-1333!
