If you live in Rocky Top, you’ve probably seen me around—whether at JD’s Realty & Auction, the Coal Creek General Store, or just out and about in town. Recently, I started sharing weekly real estate market updates in the Rocky Top Community Chat on Facebook, and the response has been great. Since many of you wanted more details, I’ve turned that update into a full blog article so our community can stay in the loop.
This isn’t sales talk—it’s simply a snapshot of what’s happening in the 37769 real estate market right now. Whether you’re buying, selling, or just curious about home values, here’s what the numbers tell us.
Rocky Top Real Estate Sales: Past 30 Days
Over the last month, we’ve seen a handful of homes change hands here in Rocky Top. The median sale price came in around $207,000, which is about 9% lower than the same time last year.
Another key trend: homes are taking longer to sell. Right now, the average time on market is about 77 days, compared to just 47 days this time last year. This means homes are still selling, but buyers are taking more time to make decisions.
Current Inventory in 37769
So, what’s available right now if you’re looking for a home in Rocky Top?
Between 50–60 homes are currently listed.
The median listing price is holding steady around $225,000.
Inventory is diverse, ranging from starter homes perfect for first-time buyers to unique higher-end properties that bring something special to the table.
This mix gives buyers more flexibility than they had even a year ago.
What This Means for Buyers, Sellers, and Neighbors
Every market update is more than just numbers—it’s about what those numbers mean for our community.
For Buyers: Good news! There’s a little more breathing room compared to last year. Fewer bidding wars and more homes to choose from mean you can shop without feeling rushed.
For Sellers: Homes are still moving, but pricing strategy is more important than ever. Overpricing can lead to extra time on the market. If you’re thinking about selling, a realistic price paired with good marketing makes all the difference.
For Neighbors: Even if you’re not planning to move, keeping an eye on real estate trends gives you a clearer picture of how your biggest investment—your home—is performing.
