Best In North Carolina Real Estate™: Asheville

Is Asheville losing its affordability edge? A new wave of out-of-state buyers is pushing median home prices above the regional average, not just from local demand, but from an influx of non-local investors and relocating professionals. Data from the Richmond Fed shows a 12.3% year-over-year increase in home prices, with over 28% of new buyers now coming from outside North Carolina. This trend is similar to what’s seen in Williamson County, Texas, where out-of-state demand has reshaped affordability dynamics. The shift signals that Asheville may be entering a new phase of market evolution—where buyer demographics are more critical than inventory or interest rates alone.
