Bucking The Real Estate Trend-Waynesville and Maggie Valley Real Estate

What is REALLY Selling in Haywood County, NC?

Looking at our local numbers as I do on a daily basis, I was quite surprised to read in our local newspaper last Friday that “Locally, high-end homes make up the majority of those sold in the county.” What? Below is an analysis of our sales for the year-to-date.

Haywood County Sweet Spot.

We DO normally enjoy a very healthy second-home market as well as a healthy high-end market… and we will again! However, at the present time our ’sweet spot’ is between $100,000 and $299,999. A review of sales from June through today yields the following pertinent numbers: In the $300,000 price range there were 3 sales in June, 3 in July and, so far, 2 in August. The $400,000 range yielded 4 sales in June, and 1 in July; the $500,000 range yielded 1 sale in July, and there was 1 ‘million and over’ sale during the referenced time period which was a $1,100,000 sale in July.
