Hey there! If you’re considering buying or selling a home in Asheville, NC, you’ve come to the right place! Whether you’re a first-time homebuyer, upgrading to your dream home, or looking to invest, navigating the real estate market can feel overwhelming especially with recent unprecedented events like Hurricane Helene.

But here’s the thing—it doesn’t have to be. With the right agent (hint: that’s me!) and a clear plan, you can achieve your real estate goals and even enjoy the process along the way.

Asheville’s housing market is exciting but unique, and I’m here to guide you through it. Let’s dive into how we can make buying or selling a home in Asheville as smooth and successful as possible.

Why Buying or Selling in Asheville Feels Challenging

If you’ve been watching the Asheville real estate market, you already know things can move quickly here. Despite the recent storm, properties in this area don’t sit on the market for long, and competition can be fierce.

For buyers:

Finding the Right Home: Asheville offers a range of neighborhoods, each with its own personality. Whether you’re looking for an urban vibe in downtown Asheville, a peaceful retreat in South Asheville, or a hip scene in West Asheville, figuring out where to focus your search can be tricky.
Navigating Multiple Offers: It’s not uncommon for desirable homes to receive multiple offers. Without the right strategy, it’s easy to lose out on your dream home.

For sellers:

Pricing Correctly: The market here is hot, but that doesn’t mean you can slap any price on your property and expect it to sell. Pricing too high could scare off buyers, while pricing too low might leave money on the table.
Standing Out: Even in a seller’s market, presentation matters. You want your home to make a lasting impression.

Whether you’re buying or selling, it’s a lot to handle on your own. That’s where I come in.

Why is Now A Good Time to Buy or Sell?

If you’re thinking about buying or selling, now might be the time to act. Asheville’s market is hot, and opportunities don’t stick around for long but that doesn't it means it's always the right time to buy for everyone- it's never to early to start getting information - contact me to discuss your goals whether they be now or for the future.

For buyers:

The competition pre-Helene has slowed for the season and isn't expected to make a full comeback until spring of 2025, buying now while competition is low may make sense.

For sellers:

Demand remains stable while there are limited properties coming on the market - again not predicted to fully shift until closer to spring of 2025. Listing now while supply is low might result in a faster and more profitable transaction.
