Best In Tennessee Real Estate™: Knoxville

Knox County leads Tennessee in residential builders—263 firms in 2022, according to ALEX Intelligence’s latest data. This isn’t just about new homes; it’s about the structural dominance of construction capacity in East Tennessee. How will this supply surge affect affordability and market dynamics in the next 18 months? The data reveals a market preparing for growth, not reacting to it. For context, this analysis is based on the U.S. Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns 2022, NAICS 2361, compiled and analyzed by ALEX Intelligence. https://alex-companies.com/data/2026-10-26-knoxville-ind-2361-county Residential Builders, top 9 (ALEX Intelligence — U.S. Census Bureau 2022) #1 Knox County, Tennessee — 263 #2 Blount County, Tennessee — 84 #3 Sevier County, Tennessee — 72 #4 Anderson County, Tennessee — 26 #5 Loudon County, Tennessee — 26 #6 Roane County, Tennessee — 18 #7 Campbell County, Tennessee — 10 #8 Grainger County, Tennessee — 10 #9 Union County, Tennessee — 4 Photos via Wikimedia Commons: Slide 1: Antony-22 (CC BY-SA 4.0) https://commons.wikimedia.org/?curid=167606665; Slide 2: w_lemay (CC BY-SA 2.0) https://commons.wikimedia.org/?curid=129425011; Slide 3: w_lemay (CC BY-SA 2.0) https://commons.wikimedia.org/?curid=129424933; Slide 4: w_lemay (CC BY-SA 2.0) https://commons.wikimedia.org/?curid=129425743 Source: https://alex-companies.com/data/2026-10-26-knoxville-ind-2361-county View and join any or all of our communities — AI, quantum, and real estate: https://alex-companies.com/reports/linkedin-groups If there's an AI, quantum, or real estate community you'd like to see us convene, tell us — this portfolio grows by request.
