It’s the last week of October 2020. We’re getting closer and closer to the end of this crazy year, and the real estate market is still going strong!
Overall, 326 property transfers were recorded with a grand total of $133.97 million last week. This is a 65% increase over the previous week’s total value! A large part of this is attributed to the sale of The Village at Westland Cove Apartment Complex in West Knoxville. SRC Westland Cove LLC sold the 28.19-acre property to HC Westland Cove LLC for $47 million.

That was the sale of the building occupied by Key Safety Restraint Systems (currently doing business as Joyson) on Midpark Drive just off Middlebrook Pike.
