DOWNTOWN CONDOS | CHICKEN HILL | RIVER ARTS MONTFORD | GROVE PARK

The neighborhoods within walking distance to Downtown Asheville continue to be popular, despite a slight decrease in homes sold across the board this quarter compared to 2018. This is most likely a consequence of low inventory, as pending sales show favorable market conditions entering the first quarter of 2020 and showing requests have increased significantly. In the initial luxury market, homes priced $500K- $1M, there was a 38% increase in showings from 2018. In the luxury market, homes priced over $1M, there were an impresive 71% increase in showing requests.

Market Forecast for Asheville In the first few weeks of 2020, showing requests are averaging 45% above 2019 numbers and pending sales are tracking at a 67% increase from 2019. In short, the traditional "Spring Market" has started early. Strong fourth quarter pending sales have translated into solid sell thru in the first month of the year, which we expect to continue through the quarter. For 2020, there are a lot of factors influencing the dynamic in Western North Carolina. The year has started off strong, with low rates, a high stock market, and high consumer confidence levels spurring growth. North Carolina continues to draw top rankings in national surveys for its advantageous property tax levels compared to high population/tax value states, benign climate, and access to mountains and coast. That said, we are in an election year, and while we expect the first half to be extremely robust, historically, the 3rd quarter begins to see some tapering as October and November near, regardless of which political party prevails. By all accounts, the U.S. economy continues to offer more security than many other options, and provided that continues to be the case, it appears it will remain attractive for investment.
