Best In Tennessee Real Estate™: Knoxville

🏆 Ranked #1 in Tennessee for Resort-Driven Vacancy Share — ALEX Intelligence, 2026. Pigeon Forge’s 53.1% housing vacancy rate isn’t a red flag—it’s a feature of a tourism economy. While Knoxville’s 10.6% rate signals stable occupancy, Pigeon Forge’s figure reflects the true nature of seasonal ownership: homes are vacant by design, not by distress. This structural reality reshapes investment, construction, and pricing across East Tennessee. What does a 53.1% vacancy rate mean for your investment strategy in a region with growing tourism and second-home demand? How do you differentiate between market stress and market design?
