Honoring Those Who Serve: A Homebuying Benefit Military Families Should Know About

May is National Military Appreciation Month, a meaningful time to recognize the sacrifice and dedication of the men and women who have served our country. It is also a fitting reminder that support for military families can take many forms, including during major life transitions like buying or selling a home.

At Wallace Real Estate, one of the ways we demonstrate our gratitude to military clients is through the LeadingRE Heroes program. Available through Wallace’s membership in Leading Real Estate Companies of the World, the program offers a potential benefit for eligible community heroes, including military service members and veterans.

For many military families, a move is about more than a change of address. It may come with a new assignment, a transition into civilian life, a growing family, or the desire to put down roots in a new community. Buying or selling a home in the middle of those changes can feel overwhelming, which is why having the right guidance matters.

“National Military Appreciation Month is an important opportunity to recognize the service and sacrifice of military members, veterans and their families,” said Andrew McGranaghan, CEO of Wallace Real Estate. “At Wallace, we are grateful for the opportunity to serve those who have served our country, and the LeadingRE Heroes program is one way we can offer meaningful value and support during the home buying or selling process.”

“Military moves often come with unique questions, tight timelines and added complexity,” said Carol Hart, Wallace Real Estate’s Director of Referral Connections. “Whether someone is moving into East Tennessee, relocating out of the area, or simply exploring their options, it is helpful to have a knowledgeable real estate professional who understands how to connect them with available resources and support along the way.”

For military families considering a move, National Military Appreciation Month is a good time to ask questions, learn more about available options and connect with a trusted real estate professional who can help guide the process.

If you are a military service member, veteran or part of a military family and are thinking about buying or selling a home, we can help you explore whether the LeadingRE Heroes program may be available to you.

April 2026 Real Estate Market Update: What You Need to Know

More Options, More Movement and a More Balanced Market

The East Tennessee real estate market continued to shift in April, bringing more options for buyers and a more strategic environment for sellers. In April 2026, we saw a noticeable increase in seller activity, and that is giving buyers more options than they had during the tighter inventory years. At the same time, buyer activity remains steady. Pending sales and closed sales both improved in April, showing that buyers are still moving forward when they find the right home at the right value.

For buyers, more active listings can mean more choices, more time to compare properties and, in some situations, more room for negotiation. That can be especially encouraging for buyers who paused their home search when competition was more intense.

However, buyers should also understand that well-priced, well-presented homes are still getting attention. The best opportunities may not sit on the market forever, so preparation still matters. Having financing in place and working with a knowledgeable local real estate professional can help buyers act with confidence when the right home becomes available.

For sellers, the increase in inventory means strategy matters more than ever. A home can still sell successfully, but pricing, preparation, photography, marketing and flexibility all play an important role. Today’s buyers are more selective. They are comparing condition, location, price, monthly payment and overall value before making a decision.

The market is no longer moving at the same pace we saw during the pandemic years, when some homes sold almost immediately with minimal competition. Average days on market have increased compared to last spring, but that does not mean the market is unhealthy. It means the pace is becoming more normal.

For sellers, this makes the first few weeks on the market especially important. If a home launches with limited showing activity or buyer feedback points to pricing or condition concerns, it may be time to adjust the strategy. The goal is not simply to list a home, but to position it well from the beginning.

Prices remained fairly steady overall, which is another important part of the April story. Even with more inventory and a longer selling timeline, the market has not seen a broad drop in home values. Buyers are still willing to pay for the right property, but they are less likely to chase listings that feel overpriced.

The luxury market continues to tell a slightly different story. With more upper-end listings available and a higher months-of-supply level, luxury sellers may need to approach the market with added patience and precision. In this segment especially, accurate pricing and polished presentation can make a significant difference.

Overall, April showed a market with more movement and more balance. Inventory is up. New listings are up. Pending and closed sales are also up. Prices are mostly steady, while homes are taking a little longer to sell.

For buyers, that means opportunity.

For sellers, it means preparation and pricing matter.

And for everyone, it means having local guidance is more important than ever. The East Tennessee market is still active, but it is not the same market we saw a few years ago. Whether you are thinking about buying, selling or simply trying to understand your options, a trusted Wallace Real Estate professional can help you make sense of the numbers and determine your best next step.
