Beautifully situated among mountains and lakes, Kingsport, Tennessee offers natural majesty along with plenty of career, recreational and cultural opportunities, says a local Realtor.

"It's a great place to raise a family or retire to!" exclaims Realtor Robin Bohin. "When visiting Kingsport it's hard to miss the natural beauty of mountains and lakes that surround our area. Kingsport is the home of the Symphony of the Mountains, Eastman Chemical Company and FunFest. A great assortment of dining options, good medical facilities and the diversity of the Tri-Cities makes a newcomer realize what a special place this is!

Bohin explains, "Despite the rise in real estate prices that have some long-time locals shaking their heads, people come to Kingsport because it is still a relative value, and compared to other places around the country, the cost of living is actually pretty low!"

About the market, she says, "While the local real estate activity is slower-paced when compared to the beginning of the summer, the market continues to provide buyers with ample Kingsport inventory to choose from! With continued low interest rates and a menu of mortgage programs available locally, buyers have numerous options to select from as well.

Bohin advises, "The added bonus for sellers is that homes that are priced right are selling. There are added demands for updated homes offering one-level living, homes with acreage and those located near or in golf/lake communities. Buyers and sellers are both in win-win situations as the colorful fall season and nip in the air brings visitors to the Kingsport area who cannot resist calling it home."
