Lusso Realty: A

Luxury Realty Experience with Community at its Core

Lusso Realty navigates changing market, hurricane, the future of selling Asheville

Navigating a changing housing market can be tough on buyers and on sellers, but it can also be tough on real estate agents as they try to remain vital and grow through the challenges. That is deﬁnitely true for Lusso Realty, an award-winning real estate ﬁrm o ering a luxury buying and selling experience to its clients in Asheville, greater western North Carolina, and beyond.

Finding Success despite market changes

“It’s an interesting time to be in the market,” Caleb Phillips, owner of Lusso Realty said.

While interest rates had remained low and steady for a long time, Phillips said that things in the market started to change in 2023 and interest rates started to climb pretty rapidly.

“They really peaked in 2024,” he said, adding that it was one of the most di cult years to be in real estate.

The increased interest rates led to increased home inventory making it more challenging for more people to a ord to buy, Phillips said.

But on the ﬂipside, Phillips said, there had been a housing shortage for many years so now there was more to choose from.

For Lusso Realty that meant success had to be found within the networks and relationships created by Phillips and his team of realtors, all of whom are given the trust and autonomy needed to grow their business within the Lusso Realty umbrella.

“It has been cool to watch people be successful in such a tough market,” Phillips said. “People really reap the reward of what they have sowed.”

In times when the market is vulnerable, Phillips said that knowing and serving and being involved in the community like Lusso Realty’s agents are, is incredibly valuable.

At no time is it more valuable, however, than when the unthinkable happens.

Giving back after Hurricane Helene

On September 27, 2024, wind and ﬂooding from Hurricane Helene devastated North Carolina, causing over 100 deaths and leaving homes, businesses, roads and more destroyed.

“In the midst of a di cult market year for many real estate agents, we got hit with a hurricane that rocked all of western North Carolina,” Phillips said. “Everyone knew someone who had died or lost their homes.”

Phillips recalled helping his wife’s grandparents whose home had sustained ﬂood damage.

“We were able to get to them, not the day after [the ﬂood], but the next day. They lived with us for several months while their home was remodeled,” Phillips said.

For Phillips, the hurricane really solidiﬁed what amazing communities Asheville and greater western North Carolina have.

“It was neighbors taking care of neighbors. People who were willing to pick each other up regardless of what they believed. It was restaurants and business owners and the resilience of a community that was ready to lay it all out there for their brothers and sisters,” Phillips said.

At the time Phillips was the President of the Hendersonville Board of Realtors which serves agents in several counties. A couple of the ways Phillips was able to participate in giving back was through helping facilitate supplies that were limited in the area and helping assist locally the applications of relief from the nonproﬁt NC REALTORS® Housing Foundation, a part of NC Realtor Association and the National Association of Realtors.

NC Realtor Housing Foundation received funds from The REALTORS® Relief Foundation and many associations and individual agents from across the country.

According to their website “since 2004, NC REALTORS® Housing Foundation has aided deserving homeowners who have experienced the loss of their primary home because of natural disaster.”

Phillips said through the local associations they were able to help facilitate the process of providing $1,000 ﬁnancial stipends to over 1,200 people who were a ected by the ﬂooding and tree damage. The money could be used for supplies, groceries, repairs or to replace lost items, anything they needed at the time.

The money was a big boost to people who were wading through the complicated damage assessment and reimbursement process that had to be followed to receive government aid, Phillips said, adding the NC Realtor Housing Foundation did a fantastic job making the application and qualiﬁcations to be as quick and simple as possible.

VOTED BEST REAL ESTATE COMPANY 5 YEARS IN A ROW!

What does the future of selling Asheville look like?

As the one-year anniversary of Hurricane Helene approaches, Phillips said that many of the communities are coming back to life while there are others that have a lot of rebuilding to do. The market is getting better as well, but it is still tough, he said.

“There is a still increased home inventory which has sort of ﬂipped the tables,” Phillips said. “It is a buyer’s opportunity.”

But whether it be the aftermath of a devastating natural disaster or a changing market, one thing Phillips is sure of is that Asheville and western North Carolina will always have an appeal.

Maybe it is the astounding beauty and access to the outdoors or the thriving restaurant scene or maybe it is the very communities that rally to each other in good times and bad, whatever it is, it is always a great place to live, Phillips said.

“We live here, we play here, we eat here. It is the best community to live in,” Phillips said.

Lusso Realty is honored to be chosen as the Best Real Estate Firm in Best of Asheville for the ﬁfth year in a row. “We are super thankful. We look forward to continuing to serve our clients and our community,” Phillips said.
