Busy week for Knox County land sales

Today, we remember the victims of the 9/11 tragedy. A day that will never be forgotten by anyone who experienced it.

The office was closed on Labor Day Monday. That made for a busy week, the remaining days. A total of 1,548 documents were recorded. This included 286 trust deeds (loans) valued at $201.22 million and 217 warranty deeds (property sales), which had a combined value of $102.40 million.

Twelve of the loans were for amounts over $1 million, the largest two being funded by Home Federal Bank of Tennessee. The largest was $4.45 million, and the second-largest $2.74 million. The others are outlined below:

The property sales valued at $102.4 million included 19 properties priced over $1 million. Five of those were commercial properties, with the most expensive being a five-building apartment complex on Kim Watt Drive in West Knoxville. Altman Group, LLC, sold the property at 1727 Kim Watt Drive to Y.A.P.A. Apartment Living Program, Inc., for $2.07 million.
