🏆 16.1% Gap in Appreciation — ALEX Intelligence 2026
Asheville’s housing market is no longer a single story. The resulting 16.1% spread is the widest in the metro in recent years. This is not a national trend — it’s a hyperlocal divergence.
This data comes from ALEX Intelligence’s exclusive analysis of U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, 2019 and 2024 (vintage 2024), published today: https://alex-companies.com/data/2026-10-10-asheville-divergence-home-value-zcta
What does this mean for investors? The market is no longer about 'Asheville' — it’s about which ZIP, which street, which parcel. The era of broad market bets is ending.
