Best In North Carolina Real Estate™: Asheville

🏆 Ranked #1 in North Carolina for Homes Built Per New Household — ALEX Intelligence, 2026. Asheville is building 2.44 homes for every new household that arrived in 2023 — a record supply surge that may outpace long-term demand. This is not just growth; it’s a strategic bet on continued migration, anchored in public land redevelopment like the former Craggy Prison site. How sustainable is this pace? Is Asheville building for the future — or for a past that may not return? How does this compare to other markets?
