Wild Briar Weekly Market Update: One Closed Sale for the week ending October 11, 2026

Wild Briar Weekly Market Update: One Closed Sale

Wild Briar recorded 0 new listings and 0 pending sales in the latest seven-day window, alongside 1 closed sale. The closed transaction at 1960 Blackthorn Tr sold for $2,000,000 after 241 days on market, with the sale price landing at about 97.6% of the original list price.

This week in Wild Briar, activity was limited to one recorded closing and no new or pending listings. The sale at 1960 Blackthorn Tr in Sevierville closed at $2,000,000 after 241 days on market, and the closed-price average and median were the same because there was only one sale. The average sale-to-list ratio for the window was 97.6%, based on that single closing.

The remarks also cite reported and unverified revenue figures and a projected 2026 income estimate, but buyers should treat those as seller-supplied claims rather than independently confirmed performance.

Wears Valley Prop Weekly Market Update: One Price Change | Week Ending October 11, 2026

Wears Valley Prop Weekly Market Update: One Material Price Change for the week ending October 11, 2026

Wears Valley Prop Weekly Market Update: One Material Price Change

This week in Wears Valley Prop, there were no new, pending, or sold listings recorded. The only activity was one material price change on a large active cabin now being marketed through an online auction process.

Wears Valley Prop logged no new listings, no pendings, and no closed sales during the seven-day window. The only recorded activity was a price change on MLS 1330810, a 5-bedroom, 10-bath, 5,104-square-foot cabin on 2.25 acres with strong entertainment-focused features and long-range mountain appeal. Because there were no sold listings, there is no closed-sale price, days-on-market, or sale-to-list snapshot to report for this period.

    Price Change: $1,214,900 → $-1 • 5 Beds • 10 Baths • 5,104 SqFt • Wears Valley Prop • 227 days on market • Built 1994

    This large cabin stands out for its scale and group-oriented layout, including multiple kitchens' appliances, an arcade room, and a 24-seat theater, which may appeal to buyers looking for a high-capacity mountain retreat. It is also now being sold through an online auction, so the pricing and offer process is different from a standard listing and should be reviewed closely.

Tyrolea Sec 4 Weekly Market Update: 2 Active Changes | Week Ending October 11, 2026

Tyrolea Sec 4 Weekly Cabin Market Update for the week ending October 11, 2026

Tyrolea Sec 4 Weekly Cabin Market Update

Tyrolea Sec 4 recorded 1 new listing and 0 pending sales this week, alongside 1 price change. There were no closed sales in the window, so there is no fresh closed-price, days-on-market, or sale-to-list snapshot to report for this subdivision.

The current seven-day window for Tyrolea Sec 4 was defined by one new active cabin and one price adjustment, with no pending or closed sales. The lack of closed transactions means there is no current subdivision average for sold price, days on market, or sale-to-list percentage to measure this week, so buyers and sellers should focus on the two active listings and their positioning.

New Log Cabins in Tyrolea Sec 4

New active log cabin listings recorded from October 5 through October 11, 2026.

  • 1679 Zurich Rd, GatlinburgNew $1,299,900
    3 Beds • 5 Baths • 2,967 SqFt • Tyrolea Sec 4 • 3 days on market • Built 1989

    This new Chalet Village listing stands out for scale and positioning: 3 bedrooms, 5 sleeping spaces, mountain views, and a larger 0.76-acre lot in a location that is close to Ober Mountain, Anakeesta, and downtown Gatlinburg. The remarks also describe it as an established vacation rental with positive guest feedback and repeat bookings, but that revenue performance should be treated as a reported listing-remarks claim and not independently verified here.

  • 1580 Zermatt Drive, GatlinburgPrice Change $550,000
    Price Change: $570,000 → $550,000 • 2 Beds • 3 Baths • 1,498 SqFt • Tyrolea Sec 4 • 32 days on market • Built 1993

    This A-frame cabin’s list price was reduced from $570,000 to $550,000, which is the key change to note this week. It remains a 2-bedroom, 3-bath property with a loft, hot tub, mountain view, and active short-term rental positioning, so the price move may help it stay competitive for buyers comparing Gatlinburg cabins in this size range.

Tyrolea Sec 1 Market Update: 1 Pending, 1 Price Cut | Week Ending October 11, 2026

Tyrolea Sec 1 Weekly Market Update: One Pending, One Price Adjustment for the week ending October 11, 2026

Tyrolea Sec 1 Weekly Market Update: One Pending, One Price Adjustment

Tyrolea Sec 1 recorded no new listings and no closed sales this week, but it did post one pending move and one price change. The pending home at 1404 S Baden Drive is a 5-bedroom, 4-bath A-frame log cabin with long-range mountain views, while 1523 Gillespie Way saw a small list-price adjustment and remains active.

Activity in Tyrolea Sec 1 was limited to two events: one listing moved to pending and one active property had a price change. There were no new listings, no closed sales, and therefore no current closed-sale price, days-on-market, or sale-to-list averages to report for the seven-day window. The pending home offers a larger 5-bedroom layout and turnkey presentation, while the active chalet remains positioned as a furnished cabin close to downtown Gatlinburg with HOA amenities.

    Status Change: ACTIVE → PENDING - CONTINUE TO SHOW • 5 Beds • 4 Baths • 2,414 SqFt • Tyrolea Sec 1 • 9 days on market • Built 1970

    This home moved from active to pending in 9 days, which shows the market accepted its positioning quickly once it came up. The remarks also note the reported projected rental range of $107,000 to $140,000 annually, but that claim comes from the listing remarks and is unverified.

  • 1523 Gillespie Way, GatlinburgPrice Change $384,997
    Price Change: $384,998 → $384,997 • 1 Beds • 2 Baths • 1,384 SqFt • Tyrolea Sec 1 • 74 days on market • Built 1993

    The only update here was a one-dollar price trim, so the bigger story is still the property itself: a furnished 1-bedroom chalet with a loft, hot tub, and Chalet Village HOA amenities near downtown Gatlinburg. For buyers, it stands out more on location and setup than on any meaningful pricing shift.

Thunder Mountain Weekly Cabin Market Update | Week Ending October 11, 2026

Thunder Mountain Weekly Cabin Market Update

Thunder Mountain recorded 0 new listings and 0 pending additions this week, with 2 status changes providing the only market activity. There were no closed sales in the window, so the current snapshot is defined by listing position rather than fresh transaction data.

This week in Thunder Mountain, the story was limited to 0 new listings and 0 pending listings, alongside 2 status changes. With no closed sales in the window, there is no recorded closed-sale price, average days on market, or sale-to-list percentage to report for this period. The current read on the subdivision is therefore centered on which cabins are moving into different status buckets and how each property is positioned today.

    Status Change: ACTIVE → PENDING - CONTINUE TO SHOW • 4 Beds • 5 Baths • 3,206 SqFt • Thunder Mountain • 26 days on market • Built 2023

    This 4-bedroom, 5-bath cabin in Thunder Mountain moved from active to pending while remaining marked continue to show, which suggests it is still available for backup interest. It is a newer 2023 build with an indoor pool, theater, mountain views, and a large footprint that should appeal to buyers focused on guest-ready amenities.

  • 2612 Cloud View Drive, SeviervilleStatus Change $1,229,900
    Status Change: PENDING → ACTIVE • 3 Beds • 4 Baths • 4,774 SqFt • Thunder Mountain • 101 days on market • Built 2020

    This 3-bedroom plus bonus room cabin returned to active status after being pending, so the key takeaway is availability rather than transaction speed. At 4,774 square feet with a theater, game room, mountain views, and accessibility features on the main level, it remains positioned as a high-capacity short-term-rental style property.

The Preserve Ph 1 Market Update: One New Listing, One Pending

The Preserve Ph 1 saw one new listing and one home move to pending/continue to show during the Oct. 5–11 window. There were no closed sales to report, so the best read on the week comes from the new inventory and the pending status change.

The Preserve Ph 1 posted one new listing and one pending/continue-to-show change this week. With no closed sales recorded, there is no fresh average sale price, days-on-market, or sale-to-list figure to summarize; the main market signal is that well-positioned two-bedroom cabins with mountain views remain active in this subdivision.

    This new active listing brings a 2-bedroom, 2-bath, 1,404-square-foot cabin with mountain views, a loft sleeping area, and broad deck space in The Preserve Resort. Its placement in a sought-after cabin community and the rare-for-the-area floor plan may help it stand out for buyers comparing view-oriented overnight-rental or second-home options.

    This listing moved from active to pending/continue to show after 54 days on market, which gives buyers a concrete speed read for the subdivision this week. The remarks also report claimed gross revenue of more than $10K a month and five-star reviews, but those figures are unverified here and should be treated as listing claims rather than independent performance data.

The Oaks Market Update: One Cabin Cuts Price | Week Ending October 11, 2026

The Oaks Cabin Market Update: One Active Price Reduction

The Oaks had no new listings or pending sales in the past seven days, and no closings were recorded. The main change was one active cabin at 353 Oak Lake Drive in Sevierville, which reduced from $579,900 to $549,900.

This week in The Oaks, market activity was limited to one price change and no new listings, pendings, or closed sales. With no closed-sale sample in the window, there are no recorded averages for sold price, days on market, or sale-to-list ratio to report. The notable listing here is a 2022-built, 2-bedroom, 3-bath cabin on 0.75 acres at 353 Oak Lake Drive, positioned as a modern, low-maintenance mountain retreat with a main-level primary suite, lower-level entertainment space, and two covered back decks.

    Price Change: $579,900 → $549,900 • 2 Beds • 3 Baths • 2,020 SqFt • The Oaks • 47 days on market • Built 2022

    The price drop to $549,900 is the key market signal on this active listing, especially since there were no new or pending sales in The Oaks this week. Beyond pricing, the cabin’s newer 2022 construction, main-level primary bedroom, and multiple indoor-outdoor gathering areas likely support its appeal for both personal use and investment-minded shoppers.

    Price Change: $419,000 → $409,000 • 2 Beds • 2 Baths • 1,218 SqFt • Smoky Mountain Ridge • 87 days on market • Built 2003

    This 2-bedroom, 2-bath cabin is fully furnished and positioned as a short-term rental option, with limited showing availability noted in the remarks. The price drop to $409,000 appears intended to sharpen its appeal, and the listing includes reported but unverified rental estimates of $52,000 to $67,000.

    Price Change: $1,375,000 → $1,389,900 • 6 Beds • 7 Baths • 4,830 SqFt • Smoky Mountain Ridge • 154 days on market • Built 2021

    This larger 6-bedroom, 7-bath cabin is built around high-end guest amenities, including an indoor pool, theater room, game room, and mountain views.

    This listing moved to pending continue to show at $399,900, so it is under contract but still open to backup activity. The cabin’s 1-bedroom layout, hot tub, wraparound porch, and wooded seasonal view make it a smaller Smoky Cove option with straightforward getaway appeal.

Smoker Holler Weekly Market Update: One New Active Cabin

Smoker Holler recorded 1 new active listing and no pending or closed sales in the seven-day window. The new addition is a 4-bedroom, 4-bath new-construction cabin on Thomas Headrick Rd with 3,697 square feet, mountain views, and amenity-driven positioning aimed at the vacation-rental market.

This week in Smoker Holler, market activity was limited to 1 new active listing, with no pending contracts or closed sales reported. Because there were no closings, there is no seven-day read on recorded closed-sale price, average days on market, or average sale-to-list percentage for this subdivision. The new listing stands out for its size, year-built status, and a package of amenities that may help it appeal to buyers looking for a resort-style cabin in the Wears Valley area.

New Log Cabins in Smoker Holler

New active log cabin listings recorded from October 5 through October 11, 2026.

  • 3158 Thomas Headrick Rd, SeviervilleNew $1,595,000
    4 Beds • 4 Baths • 3,697 SqFt • Smoker Holler • 5 days on market • Built 2026

    This new-construction cabin is positioned as an amenity-heavy investment or second-home option, with an indoor pool, private pickleball and basketball court, hot tub, firepit, and fireplace. At $1.595 million for 4 bedrooms, 4 baths, and 3,697 square feet, the value proposition appears tied to its unique feature set and its Wears Valley location rather than a traditional cabin layout.
