Gatlinburg Cabin Market Report: October 2026
November 2026 edition: October 2026 closed cabin sales compared with September 2026.
October closed with 13 cabin sales in Gatlinburg, the same number as September. The median sale price was $650,000, up from $540,000, while the average marketing time increased and the sale-to-list ratio softened a bit.
This month’s closed-sales snapshot shows a steady pace on transaction count, a higher median sale price, and a slower average marketing time than September. The average sale-to-list ratio also moved lower, which means the group of October closings landed a little farther from asking on average. As always, that median shift reflects the mix of cabins that sold, not a blanket statement about every property in the market.

This Cabin and Craftsman sold for $820,000, below the asking price of $829,900, after 248 recorded days on market. The sale closed with the largest gap in recorded marketing time among the required closings, but that fact alone does not explain the result.
The October numbers suggest buyers were still active, but the cabins that closed took a little more time and negotiated a little more room than they did in September.
My read is simple: Gatlinburg still had a healthy closing pace in October, but the mix of sales shifted upward at the median and took longer to work through the market. When I look at these results together, it suggests buyers were willing to pay for the right cabin, while sellers did not have quite as much leverage as they had the month before. The key is to read each cabin on its own terms, because the median only tells us how the mix changed, not what every individual property did.
Gatlinburg Monthly Cabin Market FAQ
What stands out most in Gatlinburg’s October cabin sales?
The clearest takeaway is that closed sales held steady at 13, while the median sale price moved up to $650,000 from $540,000. That change points to a different sales mix rather than a statement that every cabin gained value. The market also showed longer average marketing time and a softer sale-to-list ratio than September.
Does a higher median sale price mean all cabins appreciated?
No. A median change is about the mix of cabins that closed, so it does not prove every property rose or fell in value. It simply shows where the center of the sales cluster landed for the month.
How should buyers read the sale-to-list ratios this month?
The average sale-to-list ratio was 94.9%, down from 97.5% in September. That means the October closings, on average, landed a little farther below asking than the prior month. It is a useful negotiating signal, but each cabin still needs to be evaluated on its own facts.
What does the marketing time figure tell us?
October’s average marketing time increased to 138.3 days from 119.5 days in September. That indicates the closed sales took longer to work through the market on average. It does not mean every cabin was sitting unsold for that entire period, only that the group of closings averaged longer exposure.
Are the rental income references in the listings guaranteed?
No. When a listing mentions projected or reported income, that information is part of the marketing remarks and is not independently verified here. It can be useful context, but it should be treated as an unverified claim rather than a promise of future results.
