How many new homes in East Tennessee are still going up? The year-built read

The MLS marks 853 active listings in East Tennessee as new construction. Every one shows an asking price, from $64,900 to $8,500,000, and the median asking price is $507,973. The median listing has been on the market 73 days.

Of the 852 new-construction listings that state a year built, 678 carry a year built of 2026 or 2027, 80% of them. This page counts those as still being built or just finished.

The still being built or just finished group asks a median $515,000, against $498,950 for the move-in ready group, a difference of $16,050. Both are asking prices on active listings.

The median still being built or just finished listing has been on the market 67 days. The median move-in ready listing has been on the market 122. Resale homes in the same places have been listed a median 62.

Where a size is given, the still being built or just finished group asks a median $260 per square foot, and the move-in ready group asks $261.

One new-construction listing states no usable year built, and it is left out of this split but kept in every other count.

The MLS marks a listing as new construction, and that is all it says about the build. It gives no construction status and no expected completion date, and this page never reads a listing's remarks for one. So the split here is by year built and days on market, nothing more. A home with a year built before 2026 is counted as move-in ready. A home with a year built of 2026 or 2027 is counted as still being built or just finished. That is a reading of two fields, and a home's own page is the place to confirm what stage it is in.

The biggest price band is $800k+, with 185 of the 853 priced new-construction listings, 22% of them.

Six bands hold at least one home. The others: Under $300k holds 88, $300–400k holds 171, $400–500k holds 163 and $500–650k holds 133.

The lowest band with a median asks $279,900, and the highest asks $1,150,000. The lowest single asking price on the page is $64,900.

Days on market differ by band. The median listing in $500–650k has been up 59 days, and the median listing in $400–500k 82.

A band is a range of asking prices and nothing else. It says what a listing asks, not who a home is for.

Knoxville has the most new-construction listings, 291 of the 853, with the lowest asking price at $259,900. Lenoir City comes next with 56.

In all, 84 cities, as the listings spell them, have at least one. The next four: Sevierville has 53, Crossville has 52, Loudon has 40 and Maryville has 35.

The median asking price in Knoxville is $524,840. In Lenoir City it is $714,331, a difference of $189,491.

Among cities with three or more listings, the median listing in Oak Ridge has been on the market 19 days. In Harrogate it is 307.

The city is whatever the listing says it is. The MLS does not name a county on these listings, so the page does not either.

Of the 852 new-construction listings that state a year built, 174 carry a year built before 2026, 20% of them. This page counts those as move-in ready.
