Asheville Portfolio of Fine Properties - 2021 Vol. 1 by Ivester Jackson

PORTFOLIO OF FINE PROPERTIES WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA IVESTER JACKSON | BLACKSTREAM | CHRISTIE'S 2021 VOLUME 1

Tight Inventory and Cash Buyers Power Western North Carolina Markets The previous 12 months have seen several new dynamics emerge in the luxury real estate market in our region. Once in a lifetime low interest rates, a surging stock market, active private equity markets cashing out private business owners, and Covid-19's impact upon the importance of both primary and secondary housing have all combined to create increased demand for luxury homes. Over 50% of the past year's luxury transactions have been funded with cash. In some price segments, that number has been as high as 60-70% at times. Both the Buncombe and surrounding county markets have seen steady declines in inventory since last May, as the influx of buyers from other regions attracted to the many great lifestyle options that our region offers, continues to increase demand. In the mid-market luxury segment, just below $1 million in value, inventories have declined to below 50 day absorption rates to as low as 30 days or less in some high demand areas. Days on market numbers have dropped below 140 days in the segment below $2 million in list value, while the ultra-luxury range, above $2 million, has seen a similar pattern, albeit the remaining segment, with a little over 12 months of inventory, offers a few more options for buyers.

New to the market in recent months is the impact this inventory dynamic is having on previously lower demand areas relative to active luxury property sales. The Foothills (Cleveland, Polk, Rutherford Counties) saw over a 150% increase in the fourth quarter of 2020 in sales above $500,000 in value, no doubt impacted by tighter inventories in neighboring areas like Asheville, Arden, and Hendersonville. This dynamic is also playing out in more rural settings, with family compound-style properties drawing increased interest. The recent rise in the 10 Year Treasury does appear to be impacting the mortgage markets and we will likely see at least some flattening of the rise in demand for mid-market offerings. Buncombe County is still seeing more properties go under contract than new properties coming into the market, therefore competition is fierce and bidding wars abound. Significantly higher lumber and materials costs, to go with trade labor shortages, have also hampered new construction expansion over the past 12 months. Given the above conditions and their likelihood of extending into at least Q3 of 2021, it appears we are likely to see similar market conditions in most areas of Western North Carolina and beyond.

Soak up Asheville’s beauty and history at the penthouse in Ardmion Park condominium. Previously known as the Skyclub and Asheville’s hotspot for dancing, great food, and famous guests. This home gives the owner the opportunity to soak in the building's rich and unique history, as well as welcome new generations to create their own history.

FORMER FAMOUS NIGHTCLUB TURNED RESIDENTIAL PENTHOUSE Step back in time and experience Asheville at its best from the Penthouse at Ardmion Park Condominiums. Built in 1894, the former Sky Club was Asheville’s hotspot for dancing, great food, and famous guests. Originally Oliver Cromwell Hamilton’s mansion, the Sky Club was bought and run by Gus and Emma Adler in the late 1930s. The Adler’s would host dinner parties for celebrities such as Robert Mitchum and Grace Kelly while they visited Asheville to shoot their movies. The Sky Club was even called a “Gatsby-esque speakeasy” at the time.

In the 1980s, two local businessmen purchased the building and turned it into five condominiums. They planned for the building to have two apartment flats, a townhouse, and two penthouses. The original living room and dining room are now the two flats, and the penthouse is the combination of the former third floor “Sky Room” and restaurant. The Art Deco architecture and design are complemented by endless views of the Blue Ridge Mountains that surround the city and can be seen throughout this exquisite home. Today, the 2,823 sq ft penthouse combines those two original penthouses to offer a panoramic view of Downtown Asheville, Mt. Pisgah, and sunsets through floor-to-ceiling windows and two outdoor decks.
