Starter homes · By size

The busiest size band for starter homes is 1,000 to 1,199 square feet, with 637 listings

Five size bands hold a home · 637 listings in the busiest · median asking $279,900.

Among the 1,827 active starter homes that state a size, 637 state 1,000 to 1,199 square feet, more than in any other band. That is 35% of them.

The bands run in steps from under 800 square feet to 1,600 square feet or more, and a home goes in the band its stated size falls in. The other bands: under 800 sq ft has three hundred twenty-six, 800–999 sq ft has three hundred eighty-five, 1,200–1,599 sq ft has three hundred nineteen, 1,600+ sq ft has one hundred sixty.

Every price here is an asking price on an active listing, taken from the MLS listings. A starter home is a home that states under 1,200 square feet or asks under $250,000. A size is what the listing states, and a home that states none is left out of every size figure. A median needs three homes or it is left out.

The starter homes in this band state a median of 1,100 square feet, or $255 per square foot at the median ask. Asking prices run from $59,900 to $2,500,000, and the median asking price is $279,900.

The smallest home among them is at 608 Wright St, Jellico, TN 37762 in Jellico: 1,000 square feet, asking $99,900.

The table shows every band that holds a home, and each row opens the listings in it. The twenty-four smallest of the 637 are shown below, and the search on the main page looks through every active listing. Each address opens that listing's own page.
