Hello, “What’s going on in the local real estate market?”

That is the question I’m currently asked most often. And the answer is: it’s interesting!

There are so many fast-moving parts it’s hard to articulate where the market is going next.

Locally, the trends are mostly mirroring that of the nationwide trends. The real estate market is peppered with some uncertainty.

We’re seeing trends that usually occur at different times of the year like price reductions.

We’re seeing trends that are typical of this time of year like new listings. We’re seeing trends that we haven’t seen for a couple of years like open houses and price reductions.

Some buyers are being more cautious, and properties are staying on the market longer. My best advice to sellers is to make sure you get the property out on the open market. This is the best way to find true value. Similarly, buyers should always make sure they are not overpaying for property (unless they want to!).

Specifically, we have around 230 active listings which is up about 35% from May. Homes in due diligence are down almost 20% from last month. These numbers don’t include land or townhomes/condos. Land and condos in due diligence are down about 30% from May. The short-term rental market is also different this year. Nationwide, it’s typically seeing destinations like the Plateau with rentals around the 2019 occupancy levels. Cities are seeing a higher occupancy because they are open again. International travel is also available now, so vacationers have more options than in 2020-2021. There has been a large influx of short-term rental available room nights since the covid pandemic which is further diluting occupancy rates.

As always, Landmark is sponsoring a multitude of local events and community fundraisers. See you around town.

I have children aged five and seven. What activities would they enjoy while we are visiting this summer?

My daughter’s favorite thing to do was to visit the Highlands Nature Center and Botanical Garden. There are interesting exhibits in the Nature Center and they offer different classes for children throughout the summer.

The Botanical Garden consists of a series of trails behind the Nature Center with wooded areas, streams, a moss garden, wetlands and a lake. Trees and plants are marked with names and it is always changing.

Across from the Nature Center is the short trail up a road bed to Sunset Rock. It is a great place to picnic and overlook the Town of Highlands and the distant mountain views.

LAURA MOSER Artist

Written by Hilary Werre

L A N DM A R K R E A L T Y GR O U P

ELEVATING YOUR SPACE WITH ART

After living in Atlanta, a friend invited Laura to visit her in Cashiers. She immediately fell in love with the area. Relocating in 2017, she and her husband purchased a cottage and built their dream home in 2020. Art and design have always been in Laura’s blood. Her previous career was as a graphic designer. “Scale and contrast are important, as is creating focal points,” in design and decorating.

Her work was much more vertical and horizontal in Atlanta when she lived in the city, “I used a lot more gray. Now, there seems to be more green, and it’s more about nature.

“Relationships between people also influence me.”

Her favorite place to be is on or by Laurel Knob. Immersed in the environment gives her much inspiration for the beautiful paintings she creates. Some of her favorite artists at the moment are Moradi, Rothko and Larissa Eremeeva. A constant is her experimenting and finding her voice through painting on canvas. Please stop by her gallery at Josephine’s Emporium, located in Cashiers at 40 Burns Street or see her work at luaramoserart.com.

When hanging art, what is your best advice?

The middle of the painting should be around 60” off the ground (eye level) unless it is a mantle or over a piece of furniture. Do not hang art too high!

Domain 12” x12”

2

In regards to art in decorating, what is your biggest tip to homeowners?

Make sure the art is large enough. A piece that is too small chops up a room.

29

Summer Meadow 48” x60”

4

When shopping for original pieces of art, what is your advice to customers?

Purchase what speaks to you.

I Do 48” x48”

3

When working in the gallery, what is the most frequent question you hear?

ART IST ST ATEM ENT

Most of my work has a story, people like hearing the thought behind the piece.

Wine Cellar 48” x60”

“My work attempts to make sense of the chaotic world we live in, adding structure, hope and a sense of calm to an otherwise tumultuous setting.

While the pieces I create are mostly abstract, I am inspired by nature and the positive forces around me. Through my work, I hope to invoke inspiration.”

Italian Summer One of the main characteristics of Italian Cuisine is its simplicity, with many dishes made up of few ingredients. Therefore, Italian cooks often rely on the quality of the ingredients rather than the complexity of preparation. I share two recipes ideal for eating on a beautiful summer night with the ones we love.

Farm to Table

Written by Hilary Werre

While driving from Brevard Farmer’s market one Saturday afternoon, my eye caught the glimmer of sunlight reflecting off a white storage container. I quickly pulled over at the Village Square in Sapphire Valley to have a closer look. There was a farm in a shipping container, and I had to know more about this interesting building sitting on the side of US-64.

To my delight, I quickly went online and found Green Falls Farm. After a few months of visiting the farm, I was invited

by Danny to see a close-up view of how the farm operates. Growing racks are vertical, allowing space for lights and movement—a table provides a nursery for the growth of the non-GMO seeds, from seedling to pod. Ecstatic to find this new source of nutritious food closer to home and find friendships forged with the love of community and the betterment of the earth.

Danny and Kim Bottoms made Sapphire, North Carolina, their home in 2018, after years of moving around the globe for a career in telecommunications. While living on the plateau, their leisurely retirement life yearned for something more. After many months of research, Danny found the perfect plant operation.

Their love for local food, and the increasing demands on the planet, mixed with a desire to give back, merged, creating this unique farming venture. “We combine technology with hard work to provide the plateau with the best locally grown greens.” The fruition of their dream recognized as Green Falls Farm opened its doors last month.

Sustainable & Locally Grown

Giving Back to our Community

Always Fresh & Always in Season

The farm is in a shipping container manufactured in Boston by Freight Farms. Green Falls Farm is one of about 500 freight farms located across the globe, from Alaska to the Middle East. The technology in the farm provides precise control to optimize the lighting, water, and environment to produce perfect produce. Our planet wins through 90% less water usage, energy-efficient LED lighting and a footprint of just 0.3% of conventionally farmed land for equivalent yield.

Part of Green Falls Farm’s mission is to give back to the community.

Over the past couple of months, weekly donations to the food banks and pantries in Cashiers, Highlands and Balsam Grove fulfill a critical need for fresh produce.

Danny and Kim provide free greens to working folks who serve our community and are continually looking to increase their reach.

“Our customers enable us to do this, so thank you for being part of the solution.”

With harvests nearly every day of the week, the unique head lettuces from Green Falls Farm will stay fresh for weeks. The “food miles” the produce travels could not be shorter for folks living on the plateau. The controlled environment of the farm reliably produces perfect plants all year, so what is in season no longer matters.

You will taste the difference in the fresh, locally grown produce from Green Falls Farm.

Town & Country

Flat Rock Village Past and Present

T

he deep roots of the Cherokee in the land of Western North Carolina, named granite rock formation that became a trading hub with the early Europeans, is a good starting point in the history of Flat Rock Village. In 1973 the entire village, located south of Hendersonville, was added to the National Register of Historic Places.

Flat Rock Village is a quaint hidden gem offering visitors a fascinating destination to experience for the day.

In the 1800s, the area earned the nickname “Little Charleston of the Mountains,” as many affluent residents from South Carolina’s Low Country made their way to the cooler climate.

The village is pet-friendly so bring your fur babies along.

Carl Sandburg noted journalist, poet and Lincoln biographer, called Flat Rock home from 1945 until his death in the summer of 1967. He was the first poet honored by the National Park Service

with the 1968 designation of the Carl Sandburg Home National Historic Site.

The home is surrounded by 270 acres which include Connemara Farms.

Visitors are welcome to the park yearround. Tours of the home are available Thursdays through Sundays and must be scheduled in advance. The site features an engaging list of activities to learn more about Sandburg’s literary works.

Today, Flat Rock Village is home to a thriving art scene featuring an eclectic mix of artists using various mediums from oil paintings, pottery and jewelry.

Browse several local art galleries to discover the array of artisans on display to add to your collection. In addition, the Flat Rock Playhouse dates back to the 1940s, offering Broadway-caliber stage productions to audiences.

Looking to take home a few tasty souvenirs means stopping by the Skytop Orchard to pick up a bucket of fresh apples or samples of the cider or baked goods. Rainbow Row offers

Written by Harriet Daniels

visitors great dining options to fuel up while exploring Flat Rock Village.

Flat Rock Village is about a 90-minute drive east of Cashiers, N.C., just south of Hendersonville, N.C. Plan a day trip to Flat Rock Village and discover all there is to do and see in the mountains of Western North Carolina.

WHO DOES IT BENEFIT TO SELL YOUR HOME OFF MARKET?

We have had many interesting conversations with buyers, sellers, and agents regarding selling a home off market.

The buyers love it, because they don’t have to compete with other buyers.

Agents love it , because they don’t have to spend a lot of time and expense of marketing the home.

Sellers seem to like it because it is a quick transaction, but are sellers really getting the best result? If your home is not advertised to the public, how do you know you received the highest value?

Our goal as brokers is to sell your home for as much as possible. If we sell it off market and/or in one day, it is unlikely that all the potential buyers had the opportunity to view the home and consider if it was the right home for them.

Our marketing strategy is to expose our listings to as many potential buyers as possible. It may take a little longer, but it assures our sellers they maximized the value of their home to the market.

VACATIO N RENTALS

Landmark Vacation Rentals offers a turnkey, full-service rental management program.

A panoramic view of nature is on full display in the mountains of Western North Carolina. Homes here are prime real estate, especially since the region is a popular second home and vacation destination. The area is known for its natural beauty. Hiking trails, waterfalls, expansive mountain views and wildlife abound. Whether you are looking at an investment property or are considering renting your home while you aren’t staying here, we can help!

Owners partnering with Landmark Vacation rentals can rest assured knowing that we provide an array of services for our owners and guests.

The company offers a linen program, can take care of minor on-site maintenance calls, and has a local team member on call for afterhours guest emergencies. We can coordinate home maintenance services such as landscaping, HVAC services, or having your home winterized. We spend time getting to know our owners, our guests, and the homes in our program.

Our marketing is different.

Properties in our vacation rental program are featured on our Landmark Vacations website, Royal Shell Vacations website, and are placed on various online booking platforms such as Vrbo and Airbnb. We send emails blasts and utilize billboards, social media, and in-house avenues such as a link on our Landmark Realty Group website. As part of the R+L Carriers family, our advertising reaches throughout Southwest Florida by ways of Royal Shell Vacations and Golden Ocala Golf & Equestrian Club. This connection enables our companies to capitalize on each location’s shared feeder markets, securing a significant exposure for your property.

Landmark publishes the Collection magazine that has a broad reach through the entire R+L Carriers network. Homes available through our vacation rental program gain exclusive exposure to this extensive marketing reach to attach guests seeking accommodations in Western North Carolina.

We also sponsor local events such as Groovin’ on the Green and Saturdays on Pine throughout the summer. Landmark Vacation Rentals is a member of the Vacation Rental Management Association, the North Carolina Vacation Rental Association, and the Cashiers Area Chamber of Commerce.

Why us?

Because we care. The majority of homes in our program are second homes, and we understand how much your home means to you. We pay attention to the details. We enjoy helping our guests find the perfect vacation home for their visit to the Plateau.

Join us today and get the most out of your mountain home!

fAQs How is the WiFi in your rentals?

Do you offer petfriendly rentals?

Local infrastructure is not the same here as it is in metropolitan neighborhoods. While most properties do have WiFi, the connection speeds are slower and cannot handle streaming on multiple devices simultaneously. We encourage our guests to take full advantage of the mountains and get out to explore and enjoy.

Yes! We welcome dogs at many of our rentals. Please see our website for specific properties. There is a non-refundable pet fee.

Are there any amenities offered?

While Landmark Vacation Rentals does not offer any amenities, we do have several properties that provide our guests access to community amenities as well as close proximity to public access activities.

What activities are there nearby?

There are many hiking trails for everybody - not to mention the waterfalls in the area and the unique shopping. Ask our rentals team or check out our blogs at landmarkvacations.com for more suggestions.

What should I bring?

Your toothbrushes and personal care items. Landmark Vacation Rentals prides itself on its professional laundry service, which provides bed linens and bathroom towels. A starter kit is in the home when you arrive that includes coffee, dish soap, dishwasher pods, a scrubbing sponge, laundry detergent, paper towels, toilet paper, and hand soap.

What about wildlife?

Western North Carolina has abundant wildlife (bears, deer, turkey, snakes, and more). Please do not feed the bears! Garbage disposal instructions are provided for each property. Garbage needs to be properly bagged; most homes do have garbage pickup. Please help us keep you and our wildlife safe by following our instructions.

What is your cancellation policy?

Please refer to our website for exact details - these may vary from property to property.

What if I arrive late for check-in?

We provide three after-hours check-in locations. You will be directed to the most convenient location for your rental property, where you will pick up your check-in packet. Your packet will include printed directions to your rental. Please follow the printed directions as GPS isn’t always reliable on the mountain.

Book Club Carol Wilson’s Summer Read “Loving Frank” by Nancy Horan.

A story of an American architect’s illicit love affair.

W

hat type of reader are you? I seem to spend a lot of my time reading - from first thing in the morning to sometime after dinner. I thought I’d Google “what type of reader are you,” and I was given a list of 15 different types, none of which I would describe myself as - even though I could have been any number of them over the years.

screen, whether it’s my phone, iPad or computer. Mostly I read articles, news, emails and predominantly about the ever-changing real estate market!

Sometimes, listening to an audiobook on a long trip is somewhat pleasurable.

That’s how I ‘read’ Loving Frank.

Today, I’d say I was a ‘scattered’ reader. By that, I mean I’m all over the place and all sorts of things. My desire is to sit down in my comfy chair and read an actual book. It just doesn’t happen - at least for now.

I tend to do all my reading from a 145

The Literary Snob The Habitual Book Clubber The Partial Reader The Series Junkie

As a child, I loved books. You know, the real thing. Sometimes they had that smell that you only get when you open an old book, sometimes they were heavy encyclopedias or books of knowledge and sometimes fantasy or adventure.

When I lived in the Caribbean, books were a scarce commodity. I was an avid fan of the local library - a few shelves at the local pub with a random selection of books left by passing sailors. “Take one, leave one.” This made me come out of my comfort zone and I’m thrilled I did because I learned a lot about things I’d never have otherwise tried to read.

In the meantime, consider this list of reader types... how many do you recognize?

The Polygamist Reader The Re-Reader The Physical Book Loyalist The Spoiler Lover The Movie Adaptation Lover The Digital Reader The Nonfiction Lover The Fiction Fanatic The Vacation Reader

That was several years ago, but this book lingers. I chose this book for our Book Club review since it brings together things I am passionate about.

Love, architecture and adventure. Our local architect, Jim Fox, offers some architectural similarities with Frank Lloyd Wright. Loving Frank is a popular book club choice because of its complexities and moral implications, which allow for a lively discussion.
