“Jennifer was very patient with selling our rental property and was of great help when we ran into situations and am sure we could not have handled them without her knowledge and understanding. She was very patient during the process and kept us encouraged during this time because of the stress involved. Thank you Jennifer for all you done and your expertise in handling the sale.”
“My experience with Travis Alley exceeded my expectations. We were able to work together to find exactly what I was looking for within my budget and desired time frame.

I would recommend his services to anyone seeking an exceptional experience in home buying whether it was their first new home or their nth time.

“Paul was referred to me by Chris Smith in his office. Paul was on top of everything and so helpful in showing me properties that we had identified in both Asheville and Hendersonville. There was a lot of ground to cover but I am thrilled with the results. I was Realtor in Florida for 8 years, so I know the importance of a good agent to get a good result. I was pleased with Paul's service through the entire process.”

The typical home value in Marion is projected to be $188,250 for the month of January. December’s finalized data reported the typical value of a home in the city to be $193,000—down 16.05% over the previous 12 months. For comparison, county-level data pegged home values at $324,900 in McDowell County for the most recent reporting period. That number is expected to float around $338,600 in January.
Marion had 3 new listings and 8 listings that went under contract in December, decreasing the area’s total available inventory to 39—down 20.41% from the previous month. Inventory is projected to have further decreased in January.
Of those 39 active listings, 23.08% reduced their price in the month of December. The median listing price for homes in Marion grew 50.3% from November to December, bringing the current median listing price to $375,000. Based on projected data for January, listing prices may continue to grow.
The number of days that homes have been on the market prior to going under contract rose year-over-year. In December 2025, the median time for a listed property to go pending was 38 days, compared to -10 days in December 2024. In recent months the median number of days from listed to pending appears to be increasing. That trend is predicted to have carried through to this January.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.
Marion offers residents a charming blend of vibrant community events, scenic outdoor activities, and a rich historical atmosphere that fosters a welcoming lifestyle.
Marion balances small-town ease with big mountain energy, serving as the seat of McDowell County and a gateway to western North Carolina’s outdoor playground. Downtown’s historic storefronts host coffee spots, galleries, and year-round events, and the City of Marion keeps the calendar packed with community gatherings like the Carolina Donut Festival and the WNC Bigfoot Festival. Commuters appreciate quick access to I-40—putting Asheville within an easy drive and making day trips to Morganton or Old Fort effortless.
Nature lovers find endless options. The clear waters and rolling shoreline of Lake James State Park are just down the road for boating, fishing, and miles of hiking and biking trails. Pisgah National Forest, the Blue Ridge Parkway, and Linville Caverns expand the adventure radius with waterfalls, scenic overlooks, and caves—all close enough for spontaneous exploration.
Families value strong local schools through McDowell County Schools, plus workforce and university-transfer programs at McDowell Technical Community College. Housing ranges from restored mill homes near downtown to newer neighborhoods and lake-country retreats, giving buyers options across budgets and lifestyles. With a growing food-and-brew scene, a steady stream of festivals, and quick escapes into the mountains, Marion makes daily life feel both convenient and exciting.
