📊 September across the Asheville region — all 13 counties in Canopy MLS, including Henderson and Polk:
• 568 homes closed — down 7.3% from last September
• Median price: $457,145 — up 3.9%
• Average sale price: $611,258 — up 11.7%
• Homes took 64 days to sell — a little faster than last year
• Inventory: 6 months of supply — a balanced market
The story in one line: fewer homes are selling, but prices keep rising because there still aren't enough of them.
For sellers: priced right, homes are moving. For buyers: the bidding wars have cooled, but waiting for prices to fall hasn't paid off either.
Want your county's numbers? I posted Henderson and Polk on Tuesday — or just ask me.
