Homeowners in Roane County named in a foreclosure filing who still hold the deed. This is the window before the auction, while an equity sale is still on the table. Owner and property data from public records.

About Roane County

Roane County is located in East Tennessee where the Clinch and Tennessee Rivers meet, on the western edge of the Knoxville metro, with Kingston serving as the county seat.

Our off-market leads from public court calendars and notices connect you with motivated sellers across the county as each case appears on the court’s published hearing calendar or each notice is published, while the owner is still deciding what to do.

What makes the Roane County market different

  • Homes in Roane County are newer than the national mix: 6% were built before 1940, against 12% for the U.S. Newer houses usually need less work before a resale or a rental.
  • 23% of Roane County residents are 65 or older, against 17% nationally. An older owner base is where estates, downsizing moves and inherited homes come from.
  • 49% of owner-occupied homes in Roane County have no mortgage at all, against 39% nationally. An owner with no loan has more equity, which leaves room for a price that works for both sides.
  • HUD sets the fair market rent for a 3-bedroom home for the Knoxville, TN area at $1,395 a month, against a median home value of $212K in Roane County. Set those two side by side to judge whether a buy-and-hold rental pencils out before you make an offer.
  • Permits were issued for 380 new housing units in Roane County in 2025, up 53% from 2024. Rising construction is a sign of demand for housing here.

Why Roane County Is a Smart Market for Investors

Affordable Entry Points

Roane County’s median home prices are well below the state average, allowing investors to acquire properties with strong rent-to-price ratios and build portfolios with modest capital requirements.

Stable Local Economy

The county’s economy is supported by proximity to Oak Ridge's national-lab employment base and TVA's Kingston Fossil Plant, alongside growing lake-area residential demand. This diversified base provides consistent housing demand and reduces vacancy risk for rental investors.

TN Investment Climate

Tennessee has no state income tax on wages and salaries and, since fully phasing out the Hall income tax on investment earnings in 2021, taxes no individual income at the state level at all, which investors weigh alongside the state's relatively low property tax rates compared to many neighboring states.
