📊 McMinn County Market Update | Q1 2026 🏡

Here’s what the data is telling us after the first quarter of 2026:

➡️ Demand is surging again
Closed sales jumping nearly 27% year-over-year is a big signal. Buyers are re-engaging in a major way after a slower 2024/early 2025 cycle.

➡️ Prices are rising… but in a healthy way
We’re not seeing crazy spikes - just steady appreciation. That’s exactly what you want for a sustainable market.

➡️ Homes are selling faster
A 15-day drop in days on market tells us buyers are acting quicker when they find the right property.

➡️ We’re shifting toward a balanced market
At 5.4 months of inventory, we’re no longer in that extreme seller’s market… but we’re also NOT in a buyer’s market either.

This data shows that we are in a “smart market”
• Sellers still have opportunity (if priced right)
• Buyers finally have some leverage again
• Strategy matters more than ever
