Is Asheville turning into A buyers market?

It’s May 2025, and yes—the market has changed.
I wouldn’t go as far as to call it a buyer’s market, but it has become more balanced. Inventory is on the rise. The days of buyers offering astronomical due diligence fees, waiving inspections, and lining up to see homes the moment they hit the market are over.

Yes, homes are still selling—especially when they’re appropriately priced in hot areas. Those are still going under contract quickly.

Is “appropriate pricing” the same as in 2024? No. Sellers are learning that pricing high (or using pre-Helene numbers) leads to more days on the market and eventual price reductions. More sellers are now offering concessions and making repairs to get deals closed.

It’s important to use comps from the last 3–6 months when determining a list price. I advise my buyers to do the same when making offers.

My goal? To get the highest and best price for my sellers, and the best deal for my buyers.

As the saying goes: I’ve got you!
