👋 Hey there, East Tennessee friends!

If you’ve been wondering “What’s going on in the market right now?” — you’re not alone. Real estate headlines can be confusing, national trends rarely match what’s happening locally, and every neighborhood in Knoxville has its own personality.

Today, I’m breaking down what’s really happening in East Tennessee and specifically in the 37922 (Bearden, Rocky Hill, Northshore) area, so you can make confident decisions whether you’re thinking about buying, selling, or just staying informed.
