Gettysvue Real Estate. May 2026 The Ground Truth.

Gettysvue sold one home in May at $1,050,000. It was listed at $1,150,000 and closed at 91% of list. That seller took a $100,000 haircut on the way to the closing table.

Two pendings are currently under contract inside Gettysvue at $2,000,000 and $2,450,000. Six expired listings sit in the trailing months, all priced above $1,150,000. One Gettysvue home cycled through expiration four times at the same price.

One sale a month is normal in Gettysvue.

This is a low volume, high stakes neighborhood, and every transaction matters. The 91% sales to list ratio on the May close tells you exactly what happened. The seller priced ahead of the market and had to come down to meet it.

The expired listings are the real story.

When a property cycles through expiration four times at the same price, it isn't a market problem. It's a pricing problem.

The market is telling you what it's willing to pay. Listen, do not argue.

That is the difference between selling in Gettysvue and sitting in Gettysvue.

Places to watch right now inside the Gettysvue footprint:
▸ Gettysvue Country Club along Linksview Drive
▸ The Broken Shaft Lane corridor
▸ The Gettysvue Drive corridor

Gettysvue is one of the most defined country club communities in West Knoxville, and the pricing dynamics inside the gate are different than anywhere else we track.

This is the neighborhood where Chris Ball Properties set the Gettysvue price record at $3,450,000 on June 11, 2024. That's $1.25 million above the prior neighborhood high of $2.2 million.

The ceiling in Gettysvue is real, and it is recent.

What that means for current Gettysvue sellers: the ceiling is established, but it doesn't transfer automatically to every listing inside the gate. Pricing intentionally to the actual comparables, the actual buyer pool, and the actual feedback loop the market is providing through six expired listings in the trailing months is the strategic plan that aligns with the seller's end goal.

It's not about what your home is worth, the market will tell us that number. It's about positioning it correctly on the market.

The Macro Market does not control our Micro Business.

Gettysvue in May 2026 is the textbook proof of why pricing strategy is the entire conversation in a low volume, high stakes country club neighborhood.

Watch the full May 2026 Gettysvue market update on YouTube for the complete breakdown of the expired listing pattern, the Linksview Drive and Gettysvue Drive corridor activity, the two pendings under contract, and what the $3.45M price record actually means for current sellers between now and end of summer.

Northshore Real Estate. May 2026 Ground Truth.

Northshore sold 16 homes in May at a median sales price of $707,500 and an average sales price of $916,000. That gap between the median and the average tells the story before any other number does.

The sales to list ratio settled at exactly 100%. Homes are closing exactly at list price, not over, not under. Average days on market came in at 26. The sold range stretched from $500,000 all the way to $1.5 million inside the same corridor.

A 100% sales to list ratio is a textbook balanced market. Buyers and sellers are meeting in the middle on the asking price. That is rare in any submarket, but it is healthy. It's what a market looks like when expectations on both sides have realigned.

Sellers stopped overshooting on list price. Buyers stopped underbidding on offers. The handshake happens at the number on the page.

The gap between the $707,500 median and the $916,000 average is the second signal, and it's the one most agents miss.

Northshore is the most diversified of the five Knoxville submarkets we track every month. Real entry-level options at $500,000 coexist with $1.5 million lakefront homes inside the same corridor.

The pricing strategy for a $525,000 home in the Northshore footprint and a $1.4 million lakefront on Northshore Drive are not the same conversation. They share a zip code. They don't share a market.

Places to watch right now inside the Northshore corridor:
▸ The Northshore Corridor from Choto to Mallard Bay
▸ Peach View Drive
▸ The Charlottesville Boulevard cluster
▸ The lake access communities along Northshore Drive

Northshore is not one market. It's five different micro markets stacked on top of each other, each one running on its own rules.

The seller who treats Northshore as a single submarket and prices off a generic "Northshore median" is going to either give equity away on the high end or sit on market at the low end.

The intentional move is to identify which Northshore micro market your home actually sits in, then anchor the strategic plan to that segment.

The Macro Market does not control our Micro Business. Northshore in May 2026 is proof. Five different micro markets, one corridor, one balanced sales to list ratio holding it all together.

Watch the full May 2026 Northshore market update on YouTube for the complete breakdown of the Choto to Mallard Bay activity, the Peach View Drive cluster, the Charlottesville Boulevard pocket, and what the balanced market signal means if you're selling or buying along Northshore Drive between now and end of summer.

Bearden Real Estate. May 2026 Ground Truth.

Bearden sold 41 homes in May at a median sales price of $725,000. That's up 61% from May 2025's $450,000.

On paper, it looks like the hottest market in Knoxville. The headline is real. The headline is not the story.

Here's what's happening underneath the median.
Total homes sold in Bearden dropped from 55 last May to 41 this May. Median days on market doubled from 6 to 12, which is still extremely fast in absolute terms but a real shift in direction. Active inventory climbed 13% year over year. New listings dropped 26% year over year.

The 61% median jump is not pure appreciation. The mix has shifted. The $400,000 to $500,000 entry-level bracket that used to anchor the Bearden median saw sales drop sharply. The $700,000+ bracket more than doubled. The median moved up because the character of what is selling in Bearden changed, not because every Bearden home gained 61% in value.

This is exactly the kind of headline number that gets repeated on the news, posted on social, and used in a listing appointment without context. A seller who reads "Bearden is up 61%" and prices their home accordingly is going to sit. A buyer who reads it and assumes they've missed the window is going to walk away from the right house.

Places to watch inside the Bearden footprint:
▸ The Bearden Village core along Kingston Pike
▸ The Sequoia Hills border
▸ The Bearden Elementary attendance zone

Active inventory up 13% with new listings down 26% is the cleanest read of the Bearden seller side right now. Sellers who already listed are staying on market. New sellers are holding off. That's a wait and see signal, not a strength signal.
The intentional move in Bearden right now is to read the data correctly, not just the headline. The seller who prices to the actual mix of what is closing wins. The buyer who understands the bracket dynamics is in the strongest negotiating position in Bearden right now.

The Macro Market does not control our Micro Business.

Bearden in May 2026 is the perfect example of why the headline and the strategic plan are two different conversations.

Watch the full May 2026 Bearden market update on YouTube for the complete breakdown of the bracket shift, the Bearden Village core along Kingston Pike, the Sequoia Hills border activity, and what the inventory dynamics mean for sellers and buyers between now and Labor Day.

Farragut Real Estate. May 2026 Ground Truth.

50 homes sold in Farragut in May at a median sales price right above $797,000. That's up 23% from May 2025's $647,000. It's the biggest year over year median jump among the five Knoxville submarkets we track every month.

The headline is impressive on its own. The leading indicators are more important.
Median days on market in Farragut dropped from 17 a year ago to 14 today.

Faster, not slower.

Pending listings hit 65 in May versus 34 in May 2025, up 91% year over year. Pendings are the cleanest 30 to 60 day forward indicator we have, which means June and July closings in Farragut are going to be strong.

Places to watch right now inside the Farragut footprint:
▸ The Farragut town limits
▸ The Concord Road and North Shore Corridor
▸ The Farragut High School school zones
▸ Bridgemore and the Mallard Bay Corridor are doing the heavy lifting on the subdivision side.

Here's what this combination of numbers actually tells you.

Median price up 23% with days on market falling is a market heating up, not cooling. Farragut is the most aggressive of the five Knoxville submarkets right now, and pendings nearly doubling year over year is not noise. It's the forward signal that the next 60 days of closing activity is going to keep that pressure on.

If you're thinking about selling in Farragut, the purposeful move is to be ahead of the wave, not behind it.

The seller who prices and lists intentionally in this environment captures the heat.

The seller who waits for the headlines is selling into the comparables that intentional sellers set today.

The Macro Market does not control our Micro Business.
Farragut in May 2026 is proof.

The strategic plan that aligns with your end goal is to get ahead of the market, not chase it.

Hardin Valley Real Estate. May 2026 Ground Truth.

60 homes sold in Hardin Valley in May at a median sales price right above $569,000. That's up 7.21% from May 2025's $531,000. Year to date, the Hardin Valley median sits at $576,000, up 10% from 2025 year to date.

So on paper, this looks like a hot market. The numbers underneath tell a more strategic story.
Median days on market jumped from 17 a year ago to 31 today. That's an 82% climb. Average days on market climbed 22%, from 59 to 72. The sales to list ratio settled at 100.6%, which means homes are closing almost exactly at list price, not over.

Here's what most agents in Knoxville are missing. Two markets are operating inside one zip code in Hardin Valley right now.

▸ The Hardin Valley Academy Corridor along Hardin Valley Road, where established homes are pulling buyers tied to the school zone.
▸ The new construction running along Cherahala Boulevard, where pricing dynamics, builder incentives, and timeline expectations are a completely different conversation.

Price right homes are still moving in 31 days. Mispriced homes are sitting 72 days or longer and dragging the average for the entire zip code. The 82% jump in median days on market is the signal. The era of offers on anything with a roof is over in Hardin Valley.

New listings are down 31% year over year, which is why prices are still climbing. Inventory is tight. But buyers are no longer racing each other to the closing table, which means the seller who prices intentionally wins, and the seller who prices on hope chases the market for months.

The Macro Market does not control our Micro Business. Hardin Valley in May 2026 is the perfect case study. Pricing intentionally is the strategic plan that aligns with your end goal, whether you're selling on the Hardin Valley Academy Corridor or weighing new construction along Cherahala Boulevard.

Imagine your home sitting on the market for over 400 days and then selling in less than 3 weeks on the market with another agent. 😲

Why didn't our home sell the first time?" That's exactly what our clients in Knoxville, TN were asking themselves!

When they hired our team, we took a completely different approach to selling their home. Instead of chasing the market with more price drops, we focused on what actually drives buyer demand in today's East Tennessee real estate market. 🏠

✅Strategic home preparation
✅High-impact, budget-friendly upgrades
✅Professional Marketing
✅Correct Pricing Strategy
✅Maximum online exposure

Before relisting, we gave the sellers a roadmap of simple home improvements that would create the biggest return on investment.

The Result?
👉Multiple offers in less than 3 weeks
👉Under contract fast
👉Sold for over $25,000 more than they had it previously listed at

That's why choosing the right Knoxville listing agent matters. A home not selling is not always about the market; many times it comes down to strategy, presentation, marketing, and negotiation.

If your home listing expired, your house has been sitting on the market, or you're thinking about selling your home, we'd love the opportunity to help create a plan that gets results for you!
