Buncombe County’s housing numbers show mostly steady movement compared with last year. Typical home values are down slightly year over year, while the median list price has climbed about 8 percent. Active listings and homes sold have both risen by double digits over the past year, pointing to more choices and more closed deals.
In the latest June 2026 snapshot, the typical home value sits around $494,000 with a median list price near $542,000. Buyers are seeing more selection, with about 2,600 active listings and roughly 5.7 months of supply, a level that tilts conditions toward a buyer’s market. Homes are taking longer to sell than a year ago, with a median of 62 days on market, though nearly 29 percent still go off the market within two weeks. Only about 15 percent of sales close above list price, and the average sale-to-list ratio is just over 97 percent, suggesting limited bidding wars.
Recent month-to-month changes highlight an active summer season. From May to June, homes sold jumped by nearly 28 percent, even as new listings pulled back after a strong spring. Compared with statewide figures, Buncombe County’s typical home value sits well above the North Carolina median of about $384,000, while inventory has grown at a similar pace to the broader state.
