The most recent citywide Redfin read cited a $565,000 median sale price, up 1.8% year-over-year, but days-on-market nearly tripled to 114 days from 40 a year earlier -- price holding roughly steady while liquidity genuinely slowed, a real and disclosed signal of a softening market beneath a stable headline price.
A separate ZIP-level read shows a sharper decline
Over the three months ending May 2026, ZIP code 37863 (Pigeon Forge's primary ZIP) showed a $510,000 median, DOWN 20.3% year-over-year -- a substantially different, more negative read than the citywide "most recent month" figure, over a similar but not identical window. This is disclosed as a genuine cross-source disagreement rather than resolved to one trend.
A market genuinely shaped by the town's tourism/short-term-rental economy
Pigeon Forge's housing stock includes a significant share of investment cabins and short-term-rental-oriented properties alongside ordinary residential homes, similar in kind to (though less extreme than) Gatlinburg's short-term-rental-dominated market documented in that record -- a real factor behind the volatility and disagreement in these price reads.
