Livingston, TN Real Estate: Homes on Land, Priced With Real Data
Livingston is the county seat of Overton County and my home base, and most homes sit on large lots or acreage.
Living in Livingston
Livingston is the county seat of Overton County and my home base. If you're looking at Livingston, TN real estate, the first thing to know is that this is rural country. There aren't big subdivisions here. Most homes sit on large lots or acreage, and that's a big part of why people choose it.
Highway 111 is the main road into the county, and Cookeville is about a 25-minute drive. Dale Hollow Lake, Standing Stone State Park, Cummins Falls, and Burgess Falls are all close by.
The buyers I see most here are move-up sellers ready for more room, and first-time buyers around 30 buying their first home.

How I serve Livingston
I'm Bridget Salazar, a REALTOR® with The Realty Firm, and I've held a Certified Residential Appraiser license for 14 years. In a rural market like Livingston, that matters. Homes here don't fit neat comparisons. Acreage, outbuildings, road frontage, and condition change value a lot, and online estimates rarely get them right.
I price with the tools an appraiser uses: price per acre, price per square foot, and real closed sales, adjusted for the differences. Then I market every listing every day. See how I sell your home.
I'm also here in person. I visit every Overton County elementary and middle school every other month, sponsor local teams, and I'm a member of the Chamber of Commerce.

The Livingston housing market
Most homes around Livingston sell for $250,000 to $450,000, and many come with a large lot or acreage.
Across Overton County over the last year, the median home sold for $299,000 and took a median of 78 days to sell. The median home sold for about 95% of its original list price, which is what happens when homes start out priced too high (UCAR MLS, Overton County residential sales, September 2025 to September 2026). Some sales listed only in Realtracs aren't included, so the true total may be a little higher.
