Starter · By city

Knoxville has the most starter homes, three hundred thirty-nine starter homes, with a median asking price of $260,000

One hundred sixty-five cities named · 339 listings in the leader · median 1,012 sq ft.

Among the 1,860 active starter homes in East Tennessee, Knoxville has the most, three hundred thirty-nine, or 18% of them.

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 Knoxville starter homes state a median of 1,012 square feet, or $264 per square foot at the median ask. Asking prices run from $80,000 to $815,100, and the median asking price is $260,000.

The smallest home among them is at 1700 Clinch Ave 411, Knoxville, TN 37916 in Knoxville: 336 square feet, asking $198,000.

A listing belongs to the city it names, spelled as the listing spells it. A different spelling of the same city is counted under its own spelling, so the counts below are of the names as listed.

The table lists the cities with the most starter homes, up to twelve, and each row opens the listings in it. The twenty-four smallest of the 339 are shown below, and the search on the main page looks through every active listing. Each address opens that listing's own page.
