The next four: Lenoir City has 8, Jacksboro has 7, Maryville has 5 and Athens has 4. Together the five busiest cities hold 34.6% of the market.

Thirty-three cities have fewer than three listings, so they get a count and no median.

The city is whatever the listing says it is. A different spelling of the same city is counted under its own spelling, so the counts are of the names as listed.

The median asking price is $279,950, down $4,950 since the last edition, among 130 priced listings.

A typical active listing has waited 133 days, down 2 since the last edition. That is read from 133 listings with a listing date.

The most listings ask under $300k: 71 of the 130 that state a price, 54.6% of them, unchanged since the last edition.

The market divides into sections by what a listing states. Commercial has 21 and Land & development has 112. Among the sections, the median asking price runs from $74,900 for commercial to $397,000 for land & development.

Four asking-price bands hold a listing. The $300–500k band has 20, or 15.4%. The $500–800k band has 14, or 10.8%. The $800k+ band has 25, or 19.2%.

Listings wait longest in the $300–500k band, a median of 184 days. They wait least in the $500–800k band, a median of 127 days.

The band edges are the same every day, so a count can be compared across editions. The under $300k band holds 54.6% of priced listings and the $800k+ band holds 19.2%.

The biggest change since the last edition is in the $800k+ band, down 1 to 25.

Ten came on in the last 30 days, 7.5% of those with a date. Twenty-nine have waited between 30 and 90 days, and 94 have waited 90 days or more, 70.7%.

In the last edition 10 had come on within 30 days and 94 had waited 90 days or more. The fresh group is unchanged now, and the long-waiting group is unchanged.

By asking price, the median wait is longest in the $300–500k band, 184 days, and shortest in the $500–800k band, 127 days.

By city, Jacksboro has the shortest median wait among cities with three or more listings, 35 days. Madisonville has the longest, 337 days.

Among the sections, commercial wait a median of 126 days and land & development wait 140.

Days on market runs from the listing date to this edition. A listing that was taken off and listed again can show a new date, so the figure is a count of days since the date the listing states.

The median asking price in Lenoir City is $717,750. In White Pine it is $35,000, a difference of $682,750.

Since the last edition (No. 16) the active count is flat at 133 (134 before); the median asking price is down 1.7% at $279,950, from $284,900; the median time on the market is down 1.5% at 133 days, from 135 days.

Between editions one listing left the active market.

By asking-price band, under $300k is the biggest group at 54.6% of the 130 priced listings.

In Knoxville there are 18 active listings, 13.5% of everything listed; the median asks $291,950 after a median 160 days, 1 fewer active listing than the previous edition.

Of the 133 listings with a listing date, 7.5% have been on the market under 30 days, 21.8% between 30 and 90, and 70.7% for 90 days or more; the median is 133 days.

The median listed listing measures 1,500 sq ft, and the median asking price works out to $30 per square foot. The biggest size group is 1,200–2,000 sq ft, 6 of the 17 listings with a square footage. Where a lot size is given (133 listings), the median is 1.37 acres.
