Housing Market History

For a consistent historical comparison, the following table uses the annual All-Transactions House Price Index for Knox County, Tennessee, published by the Federal Housing Finance Agency through FRED. The series is an index rather than a dollar-denominated median sale price, so it should be read as a measure of relative home-price movement over time rather than as the value of this property.

Across this five-year period, the Knox County index increased from 221.38 in 2021 to 336.76 in 2025, an increase of approximately 52.1%. The annual rate of change moderated from the sharp increase recorded in 2022 to a smaller increase in 2025. Historical performance is descriptive and does not predict future property values.

Knoxville’s transportation network includes Interstate 40 and Interstate 640, major surface corridors, and Knoxville Area Transit. KAT operates more than 20 fixed bus routes as well as downtown and university-area trolley services. Route 31 serves Magnolia Avenue, while Route 37 serves Morningside and Riverside.

Broadband and cellular availability should be checked at the exact property address with individual providers because service levels can vary across rural and semi-rural acreage, even within the same ZIP code.
