Re 7

From January through March of 2024, 88 homes were sold in the county, with sale prices around $77,450. This is a 9.8% increase over the $70,550 median sale price during the same period in 2023, when there were 102 homes sold.

Based on the latest available data from 2021, the median sales tax on homes in Knox County was $1,474, which equates to 1.9% of the median home sale price for the first quarter of 2024.

The U.S. housing market has soared in recent years, with its total value nearing $50 trillion in 2024. This is almost five times greater than the market's value in 2000.

“The value of America’s housing market will likely cross the $50 trillion threshold in the next 12 months as there are not enough homes being listed to push prices down,” said Redfin Economics Research Lead Chen Zhao.
