The East Tennessee housing market showed meaningful movement this October, and Melody Wagstaff, a full-time REALTOR® with Realty Executives Main Street, has been watching these shifts closely on behalf of buyers, sellers, and relocators across Knox, Blount, Anderson, and the surrounding counties.
This month brought an increase in activity across several key categories. More homes entered the market, more buyers submitted offers, and more closings took place compared to this time last year. The pace of the market also changed, giving both buyers and sellers more room to navigate their decisions.
According to Melody, this environment creates opportunity for two groups of clients. Buyers benefit from improved inventory and more options across price points. Sellers benefit from steady buyer engagement and a clearer sense of what today’s consumers expect in both pricing and presentation.
Melody continues to guide her clients through these conditions with the organization, communication, and negotiation skills she developed over more than twenty years in education. Her approach emphasizes clarity, preparation, and trustworthy support, especially during months when the market feels active but not overwhelming.
The October trends reveal a balanced market that rewards informed decisions. Melody encourages clients to review both local data and their personal timelines as they plan their next steps.
