Tri-Cities mobile home sales were up 33% from last year, according to the Northeast Tennessee Association of Realtors (NETAR). There were 37 sales, up from 28 last year.
Data from three 2026 sales and two from 2025 that involved five or more acres were not included in the baseline comparisons because they skewed the data. Total sales counts in both years remain as reported.
The most notable of the excluded 2026 transactions was a $699,000 sale in Surgoinsville involving a 60-acre tract on Beech Creek.
Median Price and Volume
Based on the adjusted comparison set, the median sold price in February 2026 was $212,500, up 3.4% from last year. The more modest gain, compared to what the full dataset would suggest, reflects how significantly the high-acreage sales were inflating the 2026 figures.
Price Reductions
Last month sellers reduced their original list price by an average of $7,232 before going under contract. That figure was virtually unchanged from the average reduction of $7,476 last year. The consistency in price reduction suggests sellers have maintained a steady, if modest, adjustment to boost appeal to an increasingly choosy buyer universe.
Price Per Square Foot and Market Activity
The adjusted average price per finished square foot was $135.56, compared to $139.92 per square foot last year. The average total finished square footage for last month’s sales was 1,521 square feet, up slightly from 1,455 last year.
Properties were on the market for an average of 90 days from listing to closing last month. This time last year the time on market was 93 days.

Greene County led the region with 10 mobile home sales in the adjusted 2026 comparison set, followed by Sullivan and Washington counties with six each and Hawkins County with four.
