A Legacy of Home
A Family Tradition of Quality and Thoughtful Design
Healy Homes
A lot can change in nearly five decades. Styles evolve. Families live differently. But at Healy Homes, one thing hasn’t changed: the belief that a quality, thoughtfully designed home should also be an attainable one.
That philosophy dates back to 1978, when Wally Conard began building homes in Concord Woods. Over the years, Conard would build more than 500 homes throughout the Knoxville area. From the beginning, his approach was straightforward: build quality homes at affordable prices, make intelligent use of every square foot, and design around the families who would live there.
A New Generation Builds on the Foundation
For Ashley Healy, Conard’s daughter, homebuilding was quite literally the family business. Growing up, she watched her father work with clients and turn their ideas about homeownership into reality. In 2004, Ashley and her husband, Dave, joined Conard’s team and a year later, created Healy Homes.
While Ashley and Dave remain grateful for that foundation, their goal has also been to make the company their own. “We have tried to take that legacy and reinvent it for a new generation of buyers,” Ashley says. “Our goal has been to honor where we came from while creating something fresh and distinctly Healy Homes.”
Designed Around the Way Families Live
That evolution is easy to see in Healy’s approach to floor plans. Ashley, who serves as designer, owner/agent and executive officer, sees homebuyers themselves as an important source of ideas. “One of our favorite parts of the process is seeing how each buyer takes one of our plans and makes it their own,” she says.
Visitors to this year’s Parade of Homes can experience the results of that process firsthand in the Winterpark, “one of our absolute favorite floor plans. We love the dramatic two-story living room and the flexibility of having both the primary suite and a second guest suite on the main level. What makes this particular home especially exciting is that it is very much buyer-design-driven.”

Quality That Goes Beyond Design
Of course, an attractive floor plan is only part of building a home. Ashley points out that their construction standards exceed Knox County code requirements, with homes checked throughout construction. The company also provides a one-year builder warranty. But Ashley says what truly separates Healy Homes is the people behind each home. “The Healy
Difference is 100 percent our people,” she says. “A great home is the result of many talented people caring deeply about the details; especially those details that a homeowner will never see.”
A Legacy That Still Feels Like Home
Nearly five decades after Wally Conard built his first homes, the family business continues to evolve. Dave brings his strength in land development and community planning, while Ashley focuses on design and the buyer experience.
Styles may come and go. Floor plans may evolve. New generations of Knoxville families will come through the door. But the goal remains remarkably familiar: quality construction, thoughtful design, and homes that help make the dream of ownership a reality.
That’s not simply Healy Homes’ history. It’s the family legacy they’re still building today.
