Nick McBrideOur Town Leaders

The current situation in the U.S. has not stopped the flow of real estate and lending in Knox County. In fact, during the week of March 16-20, we recorded more property transfers AND more loans than the previous week. The total number of property transfers was 286 equaling $74.69 million, and the loans numbered 459 for a sum of $110.44 million. I consider these strong numbers for a trying time.
