Questions about buying and selling in Johnson City

How many homes are for sale in Johnson City, TN right now?

There are currently 278 homes for sale in Johnson City, including 26 listings added in the past week. Spring Mountain Realty pulls this count straight from the local multiple listing services and it refreshes through the day.

How much do houses cost in Johnson City, TN?

The median asking price across the 278 homes currently listed in Johnson City is $416,300, with active listings ranging from $59,000 to $4,500,000. That works out to a median of about $202 per square foot. Asking prices are not sale prices — ask us for the recent closed sales on a street you are considering.

Is the Johnson City housing market moving quickly?

The homes currently for sale in Johnson City have been listed for a median of 47 days. That measures how long today's unsold inventory has been sitting, so a low number points to a faster market and a high number means buyers have room to negotiate.

Can you buy a house with land in Johnson City, TN?

Yes — 36 homes of the 278 currently for sale in Johnson City sit on an acre or more. Acreage in Washington County is priced very differently from in-town lots, and public records often list the wrong lot size, so we verify acreage and boundaries before you make an offer.

Are there waterfront homes for sale near Johnson City?

16 listings currently for sale in Johnson City mention lake, river, or water frontage in the agent's description. Water access varies a great deal — deeded frontage, a community dock, and a seasonal view are all described as "waterfront" — so we confirm exactly what a property conveys before you tour it.

What are homes in Johnson City, TN typically like?

The typical home for sale in Johnson City today is about 2,000 square feet and built around 1994, based on the 278 active listings in Washington County. Housing stock here spans older in-town homes and newer construction, so condition and updates move price more than square footage alone.

How do I find out what my Johnson City home is worth?

Spring Mountain Realty prepares a written valuation for Johnson City homeowners using the recent closed sales nearest your property, adjusted for acreage, water access, and condition. Request one at springmountainrealty.com or call 865-935-0500 and a licensed agent will put it together for you.
