We recorded a total of 1,640 new documents pertaining to real property during the week ending July 24, 2026. This is roughly 150 fewer documents than the week prior. Not surprisingly, both trust deeds and warranty deeds were also less than the week prior.

On the financing side of things, we added 348 new trust deeds to the records worth a cumulative value of $121.05 million. These numbers are very close to the data from two weeks prior, where we recorded 346 new mortgages on land valued at $111.80 million. The week between these presented right at 400 loans and $167 million.

Last week, there were 12 mortgages with values of $1 million or more. Pinnacle Bank backed the largest loan at $5.0 million. Bank of Tennessee financed the second-largest loan of $4.5 million. The other large trust deeds are outlined below:

Sales activity reported 230 new warranty deeds on land with an aggregate value of $104.27 million. This is 27 fewer transfers than the week prior and $25 million less in value. There were 13 total sales with values of $1 million or more. Six of those were commercial transactions.

The largest transfer of the week was 1904 W. Emory Road. Located in the heart of Powell, this property houses a large commercial warehouse and Fright Works. A private party sold the property to Storage Five Knoxville, LLC for $3.125 million.

The next big sale was for development on Ball Camp Pike. DR Horton, Inc purchased 40 lots in the Valley Grove Villas for $2.6 million. Ball Camp Partners, LLC was the previous owner that collected the check on this transaction.
