ENDURING APPEAL IN AN EVOLVING MARKET

Welcome to the latest edition of Portfolio of Fine Properties. As always, we are proud to showcase some of the most exceptional homes and communities throughout Western North Carolina. From the vibrant energy of Asheville to the timeless beauty of the surrounding mountain towns, our region continues to offer a lifestyle and sense of place that remains difficult to replicate anywhere else in the country.

We are also excited to continue expanding our presence across the mountains with the opening of our new Cashiers office. This expansion marks an important step forward for our firm and reflects our long-term commitment to the Highlands-Cashiers Plateau and the greater Western North Carolina luxury real estate market. Cashiers has continued to establish itself as one of the Southeast’s premier luxury destinations, and we believe a physical presence in the community will create meaningful opportunities for collaboration, referrals, and deeper relationships throughout the region.

As we move through 2026, the Western North Carolina real estate market continues to evolve into a more balanced and normalized environment. While inbound migration from some of our historic feeder markets has tempered over the last several months, we have seen encouraging signs of increased localized and regional activity

across many areas of the mountains. Buyers continue to be drawn to the lifestyle, natural beauty, and long-term value that Western North Carolina offers, even as broader economic conditions remain dynamic.

Interest rates remain elevated, creating challenges for both primary and second-home buyers, while some cash buyers are moving more cautiously as they navigate slower markets elsewhere. Even so, showing activity and buyer engagement continue to improve across Western North Carolina, reflecting steady confidence in the region.

Inventory has improved modestly, though quality luxury and ultraluxury properties continue to attract strong interest when priced strategically. Asheville and the surrounding mountain communities remain highly desirable for their lifestyle appeal, cultural richness, and long-term investment potential.

Western North Carolina has consistently proven its resilience, and we believe the market is settling into a healthier, more sustainable pace. We’re grateful for the trust of our clients and community and are pleased to share this latest edition of Portfolio of Fine Properties.
