Homes in Sevierville that pencil right now

A sample of active Sevierville listings whose DSCR clears 1.25 using short-term rental income projections we accept as a direct lender. These are spread across the price range, not ranked, and current as of August 2026.

As of August 2026, we analyzed 1,225 active for-sale homes in Sevierville, Tennessee. The typical listing is priced at $625,000 and is projected to generate about $60,674 a year as a short-term rental.

After setting aside an estimated 20% for operating costs, an estimated 69.1% of those homes could still cover an investor mortgage payment on short-term-rental income — well above the 52.5% median across the 200 major metros we track, ranking Sevierville #31 of 200 for cash-flow potential.

On market momentum: homes in Sevierville sit a median of 74 days on the market, and 25% of active listings came on in just the last 30 days — a slower-moving market, which shapes how much room there is to negotiate.

For a DSCR loan — which qualifies on the property's rental income rather than your personal income — that's a relatively healthy setup: in Sevierville, a meaningful share of listings throw off enough short-term-rental income, after costs, to cover an estimated investor mortgage payment.

What actually works in Sevierville

Sevierville works for investors, but the window is specific: 381 of the 961 Sevierville homes, condos and townhomes we can price confidently clear a DSCR of 1.25. Nine in ten of them are priced under $719,000.

Share of those listings clearing an DSCR of 1.25, by price and bedroom count. The smaller figure is the median DSCR for that group.

Darker means a larger share of that group cash-flows. “—” means fewer than 8 active listings — too few to draw a conclusion from.
