Which new homes in East Tennessee can a buyer tour today? The year-built read

The MLS marks 880 active listings in East Tennessee as new construction. Every one shows an asking price, from $59,900 to $8,500,000, and the median asking price is $500,000. The median listing has been on the market 68 days.

Of the 879 new-construction listings that state a year built, 178 carry a year built before 2026, 20% of them. This page counts those as move-in ready.

The move-in ready group asks a median $499,995, against $500,000 for the still being built or just finished group, a difference of $5. Both are asking prices on active listings.

The median move-in ready listing has been on the market 82 days. The median still being built or just finished listing has been on the market 68. Resale homes in the same places have been listed a median 64.

Where a size is given, the move-in ready group asks a median $263 per square foot, and the still being built or just finished group asks $258.

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 190 of the 880 priced new-construction listings, 22% of them.

Six bands hold at least one home. The others: Under $300k holds 93, $300–400k holds 181, $400–500k holds 165 and $500–650k holds 137.

The lowest band with a median asks $274,900, and the highest asks $1,182,450. The lowest single asking price on the page is $59,900.

Days on market differ by band. The median listing in $800k+ has been up 48 days, and the median listing in $400–500k 83.

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, 300 of the 880, with the lowest asking price at $262,900. Lenoir City comes next with 56.

In all, 83 cities, as the listings spell them, have at least one. The next four: Sevierville has 56, Crossville has 51, Loudon has 41 and Maryville has 34.

The median asking price in Knoxville is $526,004. In Lenoir City it is $706,831, a difference of $180,827.

Among cities with three or more listings, the median listing in Oneida has been on the market 7 days. In Harrogate it is 313.

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 879 new-construction listings that state a year built, 701 carry a year built of 2026 or 2027, 80% of them. This page counts those as still being built or just finished.
