Howard

Tucked into Knox County, this small Knox County village has a population of just 442 residents and an owner-occupied rate of 67.3 percent, reflecting a community where most households have a meaningful stake in local property. The current market is extremely tight, with only a handful of active listings available at any given time, meaning buyers face limited choices and should expect to move quickly when something comes to market. Homes here tend toward modest square footage, and the price per square foot sits at a level that reflects genuine demand relative to the limited supply rather than a discount market. Median pricing lands in a mid-range tier that is neither entry-level nor luxury, suggesting a balanced appeal to owner-occupants seeking a quieter rural setting. Students attend Mount Vernon City School District. The combination of scarce inventory, steady owner-occupancy, and consistent pricing makes Howard a market where opportunities are infrequent but tend to attract serious buyers looking for a foothold in rural Knox County.
