Winter March 2026 Newsletter

As we wrap up the first quarter, Western North Carolina’s real estate market is shifting toward a more balanced, buyer-friendly environment. Inventory is rising, homes are taking longer to sell, and mortgage rates are hovering around 6.2%, creating new opportunities for those who plan strategically.

In this issue, you’ll find key market updates, an overview of the new FinCEN residential real estate reporting requirements, and what they may mean for cash or trust purchases, along with helpful homeowner resources and simplified real estate terms.

My goal is to keep you informed and confident as the market evolves. Whether you’re buying, selling, or staying current with local trends, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.
