Summer has arrived, and so has another strong month for the Knoxville real estate market. While today's buyers have more homes to choose from than they did a few years ago, demand across East Tennessee remains healthy. Home prices continue to appreciate, homes are selling, and relocation to our area shows no signs of slowing down.

What I'm Seeing in Today's Market
One trend has become especially noticeable over the past several months.
I'm working with more buyers relocating from Florida than I've seen in quite some time. Many tell me they're looking for a lower cost of living, four distinct seasons, and access to the beautiful outdoor lifestyle East Tennessee offers.
Beyond Florida, I'm also helping buyers relocate because they're:
- Starting a new job
- Retiring to East Tennessee
- Moving closer to children and grandchildren
- Looking for a better quality of life
Knoxville and the surrounding communities continue to be one of the country's most desirable places to call home.
