Is December a Good Time to Sell Your Home in Knoxville? Absolutely! Here’s Why.

December might seem like a slower month for real estate, but in East Tennessee, it’s actually one of the most strategic times to list your home. With motivated buyers, low inventory, and year-end job relocations, sellers in Knoxville, Seymour, and Maryville often see stronger offers and shorter days on market. Many families want to close before the holidays or settle in before the new year begins, giving your property a competitive advantage.

Homes also photograph beautifully with holiday décor, helping listings stand out online. Buyers scrolling through Zillow, Realtor.com, and the MLS see warm, inviting homes that create an emotional connection. And with fewer homes competing for attention, your property becomes a top pick.

If you're thinking of making a move, December is far from a slow season. In East Tennessee, it’s a “sweet spot” where motivated buyers meet low competition. I've been selling homes in this area for over a decade and the year end has historically been a great year for me helping buyers and sellers move into their new homes. Give me a call or shoot me a text anytime to discuss if listing your home this month is the right decision for your situation.
