Knoxville Real Estate Market Update January 2026 | Pending Sales SURGE 38% — Trouble In One County

Описание: The January 2026 East Tennessee real estate market data is in — and it's telling two very different stories. Pending sales in Knox County are up 38.3%, mortgage rates have dropped to 6%, and buyers are flooding back into the market. But Sevier County is sitting at 7+ months of supply with pending sales DOWN 11%.

In this month's deep dive, I break down all six counties in my service area — Knox, Blount, Anderson, Loudon, Roane, and Sevier — and show you exactly where the opportunities are, where the risks are, and what this means if you're buying, selling, or investing in East Tennessee real estate right now.
