As of October 2026, we analyzed 1,210 active for-sale homes in Sevierville, Tennessee. The typical listing is priced at $599,900 and is projected to generate about $59,131 a year as a short-term rental.
After setting aside an estimated 20% for operating costs, an estimated 66.7% of those homes could still cover an investor mortgage payment on short-term-rental income — well above the 53.1% median across the 200 major metros we track, ranking Sevierville #37 of 200 for cash-flow potential.
On market momentum: homes in Sevierville sit a median of 73 days on the market, and 24% 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.

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