If you invest in or around Kingsport, the number that matters is what homes actually close for, not what sellers are asking. Here is what Kingsport sale prices look like right now, built from the closings Resideline tracked over the last six months, as of August 2026.

The snapshot

  • Closings tracked, last 6 months: 558
  • Median sold price, last 6 months: $264,950

What the numbers say

Resideline tracked 558 closed sales in Kingsport over the last six months, with a median closing price of $264,950. That median is the midpoint of what buyers actually paid, not what sellers hoped to get, which is why it moves differently from the asking prices you see on listing sites. These are the closings we track, not a complete county record, so treat the count as a large sample of the market rather than every sale that happened.

Median home price in Kingsport, TN (August 2026)

The median home price in Kingsport is $264,950, measured across the 558 closed sales Resideline tracked over the last six months.

The Kingsport angle

Kingsport grew as a planned industrial city in northeast Tennessee and still carries a large chemical manufacturing presence along with regional healthcare employment. Our data tracked 558 closings there in six months at a median closing price of $264,950, an average of 93 a month. Twenty percent down at that midpoint is $52,990. A count that high paired with a median under $264,950 is the profile that tends to draw rental investors, though the housing skews older and condition varies. The city sits within the same Tri-Cities economy as nearby Johnson City, and many households move between the two for work.

From market read to offer price

A market read is the backdrop. The decision still comes down to one property and one number: what it is actually worth and what you should pay. Every Resideline report opens with this same market snapshot for the subject's exact ZIP code, then gives you the property's value, the sold comps behind it, and a market rent estimate. Pricing a specific deal? The free ARV calculator and rental property calculator run the numbers in about a minute.

And we show our work. Every estimate is frozen while the home is for sale and graded against the real closing price after it sells. The public scoreboard currently shows 3.21% median error across 6,276+ graded closings, across 50 states.

Run any Kingsport address through Resideline and you will see the local market and the property's value together, in one report.
