It's all relative, I think, and property prices seem to ebb and flow. Right now this is such a "hot property" area because of all the manufacturing and high-tech businesses that are going in here, drawing lots of people here for jobs and a good life... low taxes, more civilized than our large American cities now, agreeable climate, business-friendly government.
In the past two years we have made friends with several northern transplants down here; one a small family from Long Island, NY, and a retired couple from Chicago. We've been "discovered" and it's changing the character of Knox County quite a bit.
Still, it's a good place to live. Just yesterday I went to a local gun show and walked away with an AK-47 and a little Rossi survival rifle. No hassle, no government involved, just bang, paid cash and took them home.
Your buddy Dan and Sandy were sending me feeds and all the sudden they stopped and I contacted them for months telling them I wasn't getting them anymore. After a three or four times of asking I quit asking and started researching on my I don't know what the problem was.
I was pre-approved for a mortgage and everything there.

The problem is if I sell my home and take all the money in the bank to buy a $300,000 mobile home in Tennessee is insane.
Unless the prices become more in reason I'm going to have to rough it out here.
This is extremely heartbreaking for me.
Understood, but keep an eye on the market here, things do change over time.
Also, you might look in some of the smaller towns around here to see if prices drop with distance from Knoxville.
I have been looking for 2 years.

Sandy's father was very ill and he passed away recently. Dan has been having health issues... but they are still doing real estate.
Yeah really...
$750k for a "barndominium" on 1 acre? LO-fkin-L in TN.
Nah ... I'll pass...
I know.
It went crazy there.
I went to TN a few years ago to see the areas we would like to live.
Then it just went crazy.
I refuse to sell my brick home fully renovated and buy a double wide mobile home for more than my home. It would wipe out our savings.
Florida was another option but home owners insurance is 5000k or more a year.
