- Median Sale Price: Asheville $512,000; Buncombe $480,000
- Sales Volume: 901 Asheville sales; 1,554 Buncombe
- Days on Market: Up to 60 Asheville; up to 68 Buncombe
- Inventory: Approaching balance; under $600K in Asheville and under $450K in Buncombe remain seller’s markets, while $1.5M+ inventory now near 20 months
- Pricing Shift: Median prices rose in both Asheville and Buncombe despite declines in price-per-square-foot across many segments. This trend reflects fewer sales in lower-priced homes due to limited supply, pushing median values higher without corresponding increases in actual property values—signaling continued affordability pressure for first-time and moderate-income buyers.
