Who is really buying in the High Country? 🏔️📊

Our team recently analyzed ~1,400 home sales across Watauga, Avery, and Ashe counties, and the data tells a clear story: 74% of all purchases are second homes, vacation rentals, or investments.

The big takeaway? 3 out of 4 purchases are second homes or investments.

Quick stats you should know:

-Top Buyer Locations: Charlotte (22%), Local Investors (17%), The Triangle (14%), and Florida (15%).

- Luxury Market ($1M+): Charlotte and Florida account for over 50% of luxury purchases.

- Cash Buyers: 44.1% of transactions closed without financing this year, peaking at 55.5% in Avery County.

- Town Vibe: Looking for year-round neighbors? Ashe County leads in primary residents (41%). Want a quiet winter? Resort markets like Banner Elk and Beech Mountain are over 80% second homes.

Whether you’re selling and need to reach out-of-market buyers or buying and looking for the right community, understanding these trends is key.

Think the market is slowing down? The numbers tell a completely different story. Here's the July Market Update - Better Than You've Heard 👇🏻

THE QUESTION EVERYONE ASKS: Lately, we’re asked more than ever how the market is doing — and almost always with the assumption that it's down. We understand why. Most people are still measuring against the Covid years, which were an anomaly by any standard.

Our answer: the market right now is stable, balanced, and doing better than last year. It feels a lot like the years just before Covid — and those were good years in our market.

SALES AND VOLUME
- Unit sales were up 27.5% from June and 12.1% over July of last year.
- Total dollar volume was up 29.6% from 2025.
- July was the fourth-highest dollar-volume month on record, second only to October of last year.

PRICING
- Median sales price for single-family homes was $515,000 in July.
- Average prices are rising significantly, driven by sales of homes over $1 million.
- That $1M+ segment saw 38 closings, up 65.2% from a year ago.
- Dollar volume in that segment was up 75.5%.

INVENTORY
- Based on July sales, we're sitting at 5.8 months of inventory.
- That's squarely balanced territory, with a healthy selection for buyers and steady demand for sellers.
- Time on market varies widely depending on location, condition and other factors

PRICE REDUCTIONS
- Part of the perception that the market is slipping comes from the high number of price reductions.
- Those reductions mostly reflect homes that were priced a little high at listing and corrected to market price during the listing period.
- They don't indicate a downward trend in the market itself.

Navigating real estate takes the right strategy—and local perspective. Whenever you’re ready to take the next step in the NC High Country market, we’d love to be your guide! 🏡
