Downtown Knoxville Real Estate

Downtown Knoxville has seen an explosion in new businesses, residential living spaces and more over the past several years, which is fueling even further growth. In addition to being rich in history, the downtown area is considered a cultural hub – it’s home to all the modern amenities you’d expect from a much larger city, but home prices remain affordable.

Market Square, the epicenter of the downtown area, is known as the entertainment capital of the city. The Sunsphere from the 1982 World’s Fair sits at the edge of the city between the downtown area and the University of Tennessee, and it’s an iconic landmark that residents love.

Most of the available downtown Knoxville real estate is in the form of lofts, condos or townhomes, although some of the historic homes in the heart of the city occasionally come on the market.

Selling a home is a big deal; it’s probably one of the biggest decisions you’ll ever make.

And it’s a lot different from buying a home.

So what do you need to know as a first-time home-seller in Knoxville?

Naturally, the first thing you need is an experienced, talented seller’s agent who specializes in Knoxville and each of its neighborhoods (you found her!). Your Realtor® will walk you through the whole process of selling a home, and she’ll answer your questions along the way.

However, it’s never too early to start learning about the process.

First Things First: The CMA

Your Realtor will give you a comparative market analysis that lets you know how much your home is worth on today’s market. She’ll put compare your house to others that have recently sold (and those that are currently on the market) that are similar to yours, and conduct in-depth market research to find out how much you can ask—and probably get—for your home when you put it on the market.

Step Two: Staging Your Home for Sale

You’ll need to make your home as appealing as possible to potential buyers, which means staging it. Staging is the process of clearing out clutter, cleaning and making minor improvements, and turning your house into a "blank slate" so buyers can picture their belongings in your space.

Step Three: Show, Show, Show!

Your Realtor will be coordinating showings, but your responsibility during this time is to be flexible. It’s hard to live in a staged home (you’re afraid you’ll make a mess!), but if you want to sell your home quickly and at the right price, it’s important.
