Powell, TN Home Prices 2026: What's Selling, What's Sitting, and What It Means for Buyers and Sellers

Powell, Tennessee is one of Knox County's most consistent value stories — and in 2026, the numbers confirm what local agents have known for years: buyers who target this northern Knox County community are getting more home per dollar than virtually anywhere else in the county school system. Here is a detailed look at what homes are actually selling for in Powell right now.

Powell Home Prices: Mid-2026 Snapshot

The median home price in the Powell corridor of northern Knox County sits around $285,000–$345,000 as of mid-2026. This represents approximately 6–8% year-over-year appreciation — strong, sustainable growth driven by demand spillover from more expensive Knox County submarkets and Powell's own strong fundamentals.

By comparison, comparable homes in Farragut run $520K–$620K median, and West Hills/Bearden average $380K–$500K. For buyers who want Knox County schools and the suburban amenity profile, but don't need to be in West Knox, Powell delivers a compelling alternative at significantly lower cost.

Price by Home Type in Powell

Entry-level single-family homes (2–3 bedrooms, under 1,500 sq ft, older construction): $215,000–$265,000. These homes attract first-time buyers and investors and typically move quickly when priced correctly. Condition and updates matter significantly at this price point.

Mid-range family homes (3–4 bedrooms, 1,500–2,400 sq ft): $265,000–$365,000. This is Powell's most active segment — the sweet spot where family buyers competing from both below and above converge. Multiple-offer situations are common in this range for well-presented homes.

Larger and newer construction (4+ bedrooms, 2,400+ sq ft, newer subdivisions): $365,000–$500,000. Buyers in this segment are often coming from outside the immediate area — West Knox buyers stretching their budget, relocating buyers targeting northern Knox County — and tend to be more comparison-shopping conscious. Newer construction in Powell-area subdivisions competes directly with Halls and Corryton at this price point.

Days on Market

Well-priced Powell homes in good condition are typically going under contract within 14–22 days in mid-2026. Overpriced homes are sitting 45–90+ days, as Powell buyers have options — including moving slightly further north to Halls or Corryton for newer construction, or slightly south into the mid-city for comparable prices with different character. Accurate pricing at market is critical in Powell.

What's Driving Powell Appreciation in 2026

Several factors are sustaining Powell's appreciation trajectory. Buyers priced out of West Knox are pushing north. The Powell High School zone continues to attract families who want a strong Knox County school at a lower price point. The Norris Lake proximity gives Powell a lifestyle advantage that many northern Knox County buyers are discovering. And I-75 access gives the corridor strong commuter credentials for buyers working in Knoxville or traveling frequently.

Seller Perspective: Is Now a Good Time to Sell in Powell?

Yes — Powell sellers in 2026 hold meaningful leverage. Inventory is constrained, buyer demand is steady, and the price appreciation of the past several years has built significant equity for long-time owners. Sellers who price accurately and present their homes well are achieving strong results, often with multiple offers and minimal days on market.
