Welcome Summer! As most of the US gears up for VERY warm weather, we here in the NC Mountains are able to spend our summer days enjoying the outdoors. Our average high temperature in July and August is 78 DEGREES in Boone, with lower temperatures at higher elevations. Average low temps are in the upper 50s! Imagine going on a hike or having a Tee Time in the middle of the day.
Please take a minute to enjoy our newsletter, as we have compiled a nice guide of events for our mountain area known as the NC High Country. Feel free to 'shop' our great listings as well and review our market data as well. To see the end of the newsletter, be sure to click

Real Estate Market Report
|
|
Our Mountain Home market is showing strong growth year to date, with unit sales up 4.7%. The BIG story is a large number of sales of higher-end homes, including the highest residential sale recorded in our area at $5.1M. This has driven up average prices.
The surge in high dollar sales is an indication of a strong economy, coupled with willingness of sellers to list at more competitive prices. In most cases, sellers of higher dollar homes have more invested in the home than the market value.
The median price for residential homes and condos is $249,000 overall across our three county area (Ashe, Avery and Watauga Counties). This is up 6.0% from calendar year 2018. For our most popular towns of Boone, Blowing Rock and Banner Elk, the median price is somewhat higher at $315,000.
Market data indicates that our area is a balanced Real Estate market, with some seller's market trends. Median price gains are sustainable. The good news for buyers is that we have more new listings that have hit the market than the same time last year, so inventory is stable.
Being primarily a second home and resort market, we have slightly longer days on market than in larger cities where there is large industry and required relocations. These numbers include time under contract, and good homes are moving more quickly than in the last 10 years.
If you would like detailed market data for a specific town or neighborhood in our area, please let us know! 828-406-0828, [email protected], www.MountainHomesNC.com

"From listing to closing was a matter of weeks! We were hesitant to list our condo because similar condos in our community had been on the market for months and months with little or no activity. When Leslie was recommended to us, we jumped at the chance. She hit the floor
running! There were double digit appointments for showing the condo within 7 days and we had two offers and a contract in less than 2 weeks!"

"Laurie and Chris Chilelli were extremely helpful in finding us the perfect mountain house. They represented us at the inspection and followed up on all the necessary repairs in our absence. Everything went very smoothly due
to their professionalism and knowledge. We would most definitely recommend these buyers agents to anyone looking for a house or property in their areas."

Michael helped our family find and purchase a wonderful mountain home. We looked at several homes with him, and throughout the buying process, he was always responsive, helpful, patient, and was very knowledgeable about the area. Would highly recommend him for anyone looking to buy a home in the high country.
