Best In Tennessee Real Estate™: Knoxville
2026-10-21
Knoxville’s million-dollar homes are more concentrated than any other market in Tennessee, with 75.8% of them located in just three cities—Knoxville, Tellico Village, and Maryville. This data comes from ALEX Intelligence’s exclusive analysis of the 2024 American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates. For context, no other Tennessee market approaches this level of clustering. This isn’t just about luxury homes—it’s about where wealth is flowing, and where it isn’t. As high-value housing consolidates in a few urban cores, the risk of economic polarization grows. What does this mean for the next generation of homeowners in East Tennessee? How can we ensure growth isn’t limited to the already privileged?
