Land Values in Tennessee: What to Know
Tennessee is one of the busiest land markets in the country. In recent market data, land sold for a median of about $85,000, or about $30,000 per acre, across 16,226 sales in 12 months. Land spent an average of 121 days on the market.
Nashville and Knoxville set the top of the table. Davidson County (Nashville) sold at about $328,000 per acre and Williamson County, just south, at about $127,000. Around Knoxville, Loudon County sold at about $135,000 and Knox County at about $107,000. Hamilton County (Chattanooga) had the most sales, 983, at about $90,000 per acre, and Sevier County near the Smokies sold at about $79,000. The cheapest land is in rural counties far from the cities: about $4,800 per acre in Houston County, about $4,800 in Hardeman County and about $4,800 in Hancock County.
Why small lots cost more per acre
In Tennessee, the median lot under 1 acre sold for about $45,000, which works out to about $98,000 per acre. Parcels of 5 to 10 acres sold for about $110,000, or about $17,000 per acre, and tracts of 100 acres or more sold for about $631,000, only about $3,800 per acre. The big tract costs more in total but far less for each acre. Small lots near Nashville, Knoxville and Chattanooga sell as home sites. Large rural tracts sell as farm, timber or hunting land, so each extra acre adds much less.
How to estimate what your land is worth
Start with recent sales of land like yours: the same county, a similar size, and a similar use. Then adjust for what buyers check first. Legal road access, power and water at the road, how much of the parcel sits in a flood zone, and how steep or wet the ground is can each move the price a lot. In East Tennessee, check the slope and the road: steep land on a private road sells for much less. In West Tennessee, check the flood zone near the rivers and creeks.
