Dandridge is serviced by eleven (11) real estate companies and four (4) title companies. Real Estate sales activity in Dandridge is very strong with little of the national slowing many markets saw. From entry level homes to the higher end of the market, properly priced homes are only on the market 45-90 days for the most part before under contract. Many buyers see the extreemly good value and excellent future growth potential of the area and are planing for the future by buying now. The Dandridge area is a small but very diverse area. It offers not only "On the lake living" and it's lifestyle, but also that "Country living City close" feel. The area does still have a good supply of affordable starter homes close to the lake, so you can enjoy its many fun activities without having to pay the higher price of a lakefront home.

The Douglas Lake area offers many free lake access launches and Marinas so getting on the lake takes only minutes. New Homes in these non lakefront areas start in the range of $125,000 to $150,000 for a nice 3 Bd/2Ba family size home. Whereas the same size home at lakefront starts at $350,000 and up. Good "strong water" lake lots are also becoming harder to find and ranging from $150,000 to up $400,000 Lots on smaller coves are still in the range of $75,000 and up. Many people are taking the route of buying lake view properties instead of Lakefront and use the many Marinas in the area as their Lakefront access.
