Mount Vernon

Situated in Knox County, this city of 16,802 residents currently shows a tight inventory of just 7 active listings, pointing to limited options for buyers in the area. The median home price stands at $319,900, with properties averaging 2,292 square feet and a price per square foot of $188. That size-to-price ratio positions Mount Vernon competitively for buyers seeking more space relative to cost. The owner-occupied rate of 54.4% reflects a market split fairly evenly between owners and renters, which may appeal to investors alongside traditional buyers. Households here report a median income of $54,335, and the primary school district serving the area is Mount Vernon City School District. The low active listing count suggests that well-priced homes are likely to move quickly, making preparation and pre-approval particularly important for prospective buyers looking to act in this market.
