The Tri-Cities luxury market recorded nine $1 million plus sales in April. It was a big reversal from the sales volume in March and April a year ago. There were three top sales in March and only one this time last year.
A 7,731-square-foot Blountville home led April’s sales at $1,614,000, according to the Northeast Tennessee Association of Realtors (NETAR). The top sale is described as a five-bedroom, five-full – bath, and two half-bath French Country estate behind a gated entrance on three acres. It’s located next to the Tri-Cities Golf Course in Fairway Estates.
The outdoor component includes a custom pool, a covered patio, a guest house, five garage bays and 2,800 sqft of unfinished space.

Johnson City posted the most sales and the lowest average price. That’s not a contradiction — it’s a sign of market depth. A city with enough inventory at a range of price points generates more transactions, including those near the $1 million entry threshold. The five single-sale cities all cleared $1.1 million, three of them topping $1.5 million, consistent with the premium that attaches to distinctive or large-acreage properties outside the metro core.
What Days on Market Is Really Saying
The 144-day average hides a two-speed market. Conventional properties in Johnson City and Blountville moved in 40 to 84 days. Large-acreage and rural listings took far longer: Roan Mountain’s 83-acre property sat 357 days; Greeneville’s 8.7-acre tract, 258 days. Acreage narrows the buyer pool, and a smaller pool means a longer wait. That’s not a market problem. It’s a property type problem, and it matters for anyone setting price or timeline expectations on rural luxury listings.
