Why January Is One of My Favorite Months to Help Buyers in Knoxville header image.

January is one of the most underrated months to buy a home in Knoxville — and it’s honestly one of my favorites as a Realtor. The buyers I work with this time of year are focused, prepared, and ready to make smart decisions.

There’s typically less competition than in the spring, which means fewer bidding wars and more room to negotiate. Sellers who list in January are serious, and that creates opportunities for buyers who are ready to move quickly.

I also see a lot of buyers starting the year with fresh goals — first-time homebuyers, families upsizing, and people relocating to East Tennessee for work or lifestyle changes. If buying a home is on your 2026 goal list, January is an excellent time to start the process and get ahead of the market. Call me today to see how I can best serve you!
