Real Estate Reality: How Life Events Drive Property Decisions
Ever wonder why people really buy and sell homes? Contrary to what financial headlines suggest, it's rarely about interest rates or market conditions. It's about life happening.
When Greg George sits down with families across Western North Carolina and Upstate South Carolina, their real estate decisions always trace back to meaningful life transitions. Some situations bring joy—growing families needing more space, retirees finding their mountain dream home, or parents moving closer to grandchildren. Others involve difficult passages—inherited properties creating family tension, divorces necessitating property divisions, or health changes requiring different living arrangements.
What makes these transitions particularly challenging is that most people navigate major real estate decisions only a handful of times in their lives. The landscape constantly evolves, making yesterday's knowledge potentially outdated for today's market realities.
This episode provides a clear-eyed look at current Western North Carolina real estate conditions, showing a market that's normalizing rather than crashing. Henderson County data reveals a 14.5% increase in listings with a modest 1-2% softening in prices—a healthy correction after years of unsustainable growth. Industry experts project steady annual appreciation averaging 3.3% through 2029, defying dramatic crash predictions that make for attention-grabbing headlines.
Beyond market analysis, we explore practical solutions for common challenges facing mountain property owners. For families dealing with inherited properties, we discuss tax-efficient strategies like 1031 exchanges that can convert underperforming assets into "mailbox money" while deferring capital gains. For those facing difficult decisions about long-held family properties, we share approaches that honor emotional attachments while addressing practical realities.
Have questions about your specific property or situation? We'd love to have that conversation. After helping over 1,600 families with their real estate needs, we understand that each situation has unique emotional, financial, and practical dimensions that deserve personalized attention. Call us at 828-393-0134 to discuss your property questions with no pressure or obligation.

So much to be grateful for. I hope. You had a wonderful 4th of July weekend and it's been hot for sure. And then we got our thunderstorms and our rain and we've been so busy in a good way, I mean. We're so grateful, helping all of our clients navigate through the buying and selling process and whether it's their personal home or their vacation home or their investment home, or their commercial real estate or land, condos, townhomes, you name it, we're helping our clients navigate through real estate. Life happens, therefore, real estate happens and we'll certainly jump into that conversation. Just so much to be thankful for. Here we are on WHKP. We're here every Thursday.
Speaker 1:I've been actually doing this radio show since 2011. And then also do a number of other radio shows. We do the Hometown Hero series here every Friday morning as well. We podcast all of our radio shows and in the time I've been doing radio shows, we've done over 1,600 live radio shows throughout the years. Also, we've had the privilege of helping. More importantly, we've helped more than 1,500 families and quickly approaching 1,600 families with their real estate needs. And again, it could be anything from helping buy and sell your your personal home, helping our. We've helped so many people. This has been a uh. We've helped so many people with their um, you know their estate properties. You know that and that's just a reality.
Speaker 1:We've walked through people with uh, you know I mean it's just life loss of loved ones. I mean it could be a divorce, it could be a job loss. I mean, like these are. These are challenging situations people walk through and certainly impacted real estate's impacted by that. And then, of course, the beautiful, joyful situations like the new family, or the growing family or the retiring family, or moving closer to the grandkids. There's some beautiful reasons. I mean it's very rare. I mean it is not the interest rates or the economy or the market that's normally driving people's buying decisions, whatever it might be.
Speaker 1:And so the conversation is just this week alone, we had a conversation with a family that's out of town. They've had a family property here since the 50s but the season has ended in that and they're making the steps to sell the family mountain property. I mean, that's something we've helped with. We walked through with a family that you know adult children, you know, children in their sixties that inherited property and so we're navigating through through that, uh, helping clients sell their home, sell that property that was inherited. Um, we help. We've helped people, uh recently that were changing houses. They went from they were, they were getting a house that fit their needs better. It wasn't, uh, you know it was the current house had outgrown and they needed something that met their needs better. And then having conversations with people that are selling their land and what does that look like and what's the land worth? I mean, life happens, therefore real estate happens, and it's a privilege and honor to help our clients navigate through, you know, in regards to real estate, and so we would love to have the conversation. There's no pressure, there's no cost, there's no obligation. Give us a call today 828-393-0134, 828-393-0134. Find us online at realestatebygregcom. We also podcast all of our radio shows. You can also follow us on social media Facebook and Instagram and we'd love to connect, we'd love to have the conversation. We're here every Thursday morning right after the 10 o'clock hour.
Speaker 1:One thing that I want to give a heads up on it's this coming weekend, on July 12th, our friends at Narnia Studios are having their 29th annual Chalk it Up. Barbara Hughes has been on our radio program before. We weren't able to coordinate it this week, but I told her I would share about it. Chalk it Up began with three children drawing in front of their mother's store. It's blossomed into one of the most beloved and endearing events our town has to offer. It's a unique way to express beautiful downtown Hendersonville, north Carolina. You know, every summer, 150 artists of all ages draw for prizes and fun in this great contest designed to promote Hendersonville as a city with a heart for art. And it's chalk it up. You can look it up on their website, narnia studioscom. It's this Saturday, july 12th, and there's certainly some. They have rain dates. If that happens, no dogs are allowed. But want to encourage you to come check out the incredible artists and, if you want to plan ahead for next year to become, to sign up to be one of the artists. Again, that's one of the one of the many things that makes Hendersonville unique is the different events downtown, the Apple festivals coming up. You know we had the Garden Jubilee back in May. I mean so many people experienced Hendersonville through that. A lot of people also experienced Hendersonville in regards to the summer camps and I want to also take a moment to just express our condolences and our prayers and thoughts for those in the Texas area and our prayers and thoughts for those in the Texas area that the camps and the number of just the tragedy that was experienced there with the flooding and the summer camp that was impacted my daughter's at a girls camp right now and again as a parent to hear that these things are happening again, it certainly puts things into perspective. But our thoughts and prayers are with everyone in Texas that experienced so much loss here.
Speaker 1:But the camp industry here and I actually years ago prior to my real estate career this is actually my 20th year of my North Carolina broker's license. I was involved in the camping industry, helping on the technology side, support for summer camps. Camping industry helping on the technology side, support for summer camps. This is before. This is like at the dawn of high-speed internet and the dawn of internet, the dawn of digital photography, we were supporting camps with their technology and this is before Facebook. This is again very early on in the internet, with and where summer camps. We were providing technology services. So I had actually an opportunity to go out to the camps in Texas. I'd been to the Curvil, I'd been to Camp Mystic, I'd been to Heart of the Hills, I'd been to those camps and this is some you know. 25 years ago I had a chance to visit those camps, maybe 20 years ago at this point, but again grateful.
Speaker 1:You know the camp industry makes such a difference in kids' lives. You might not realize that, in addition to the powerful impact that it has on kids' lives, but the economic impact and here you know, I would say prior, you know you got Western North Carolina which is one of the highest concentration of camps in the industry and also you know that area in Texas there was another high concentration of camps. This is so interesting in a 18 county WNC region, the wet uh, the summer camps actually supported uh 853 payroll position 18% increase, uh, in that the job spread over 47 businesses. Also, the economic output. This is so interesting. This is in 2010. So I mean you know 20, excuse me, 15 years ago they did an economic study of four counties Buncombe County, henderson County, transylvania County and Jackson County, covering 50 camps. And this is again 15 years ago $365 million total economic impact Incredible. You know the economic impact of the camps and so you have the camp economic impact. But the spillover, the camp-driven spending, spillovers into the hotels, the restaurants, the retail, the construction, logistics, laundry services. You know, especially during the camp drop-off and pickups, and you know it's the. Also, camps support land conservation values, operating on large undeveloped properties, engaging with nearby state parks. But you know a lot of local businesses were founded by folks who came to Western North Carolina through camp experiences. But camp has such a powerful impact on children and families. So many people come to this area because they went to camp years ago and then they come here. And so you know the camping industry and then the quality of life. People move here for the quality of life. Had a phone call this week with another client that was, you know, moving from Colorado to here, specifically to Hendersonville, and for the quality of life I mean. So there's so many conversations that we're having day in and day out. We're grateful for the opportunity to serve the community through real estate.
Speaker 1:Here's just a quick seven-day snapshot in Henderson County. Seven-day snapshot in Henderson County and this is for residential single-family homes 51 new listings. Now this number keeps increasing. I'll explain why 80, 80, 8-0 price decreases. There were 45 homes that went under contract and then 21 homes closed. Now that number 21 is on the lower end because it's at the beginning of the month. Typically we see more homes closing at the end of the month. So what's what's happening in the in the market? You know, in Henderson County Now I'm going to include this is through a research, you know a local market update through the research tool provided by Canopy Realtor Association for Henderson County the number of new listings.
Speaker 1:Year to date, through June this year, versus June last year, there's been a 14.5% increase in new listings. Now this is amazing. There's been a 5% increase in pending sales and a 9% increase in closed sales. But we are seeing a softening of prices and we're seeing days on market are increasing of prices and we're seeing days on market are increasing. So the median sales price now this includes condos and townhomes and single family homes the median sales price is down 2% year to date this year versus year to date last year or through the end of June the median sales price is at 440, 500. And then the average sales price is at 509. And that's actually down 1.4%. Again when we look at year to date, through the end of June versus year to date through the end of June this year, versus last year. So there's been a 2% drop in the median sales price. There's been a 1.4% drop in the average sales price.
Speaker 1:Now this is interesting. The percent of original list price received is down about a percent. 95.7% is now the original list price to what it's selling for. So previously you saw sellers were the market is softening, buyers have a little bit more leverage. On average it's almost well it's over 4% compared to the original price that prices are coming off. So you know, depending on the home, you know you might have a little bit of a wiggle room compared to years, previous years where you had to come in. Even you had to come in strong if you wanted a chance for it.
Speaker 1:But because of the new, the increase in listings and you also see the price reductions, the market's softening but the prices are still holding somewhat. I mean they're not. It's not like they're having any drastic drops and it's because of the environment. We're in the supply and demand list. Close, the days it takes now is 116 days. That's actually 17% higher this time period versus last year. Another interesting thing is days on the market until the sale is now at 63 days. When we say under contract is now 63 days and then closing, it's 116 days, and then cumulative days on the market until the sales at 68 days. Those are up 37, 36%. So the market it's softening, uh, the and and so it's just it's something to consider.
Speaker 1:You know this is the question people are asking themselves are the where? What are? What's happening with the home prices? You know where are they going up? Are they going down? You know, on the, on the news and certainly the headlines TV online, maybe you're scrolling through social media shouting about a. You know the social media shouting about a housing crash, a bubble bursting, or values about the plummet overnight.
Speaker 1:The attention grabbing, grabbing headlines can really play on your fears, especially if you're thinking about buying or selling. But the thing is, the headlines rarely tell the full story. So in this is this is let's take a look at it. You know, as a buyer, should you wait for prices to drop? You know. So if your buyer sitting on the sidelines hoping for a massive drop in prices so you can swoop in and get a steal, you might be waiting longer than you think. And in our market you know they're. They're, like I said, a slight cooling off. Uh, the 1%, 2% flattening. We are seeing some local markets like ours, flattening out or dropping slightly because there's there's a small increase of inventory hitting the market and, by the way, that's normal. When more homes are available, buyers have more choices, so the prices can level out.
Speaker 1:But looking at the big picture, over 100 leading housing experts, economists, real estate analysts and market researchers were surveyed by Fannie Mae in their latest home price expectation survey. They didn't predict a crash. Instead, they actually expect a steady, moderate growth for the next five years and again, that's supply and demand. The average about a 3.3% price growth per year through 2029. And the optimists actually think we'll see closer to 5% annual growth. Even the pessimists, the most conservative experts, still say we're likely to see a 1% to 2% growth per year. Not a drop, and so no dramatic tumble, just a healthy, sustainable pace. That's more normal than the wild double digit surges we saw during the pandemic boon.
Speaker 1:Now for sellers, should you rush to list on? You know, on the flip side, if your homeowner wondering if you missed the peak, here's the good news you probably haven't. The market has shifted. The neck break, break, neck bidding wars of a couple years ago have cooled off in many areas, but that's not a bad thing. It's actually healthier. Homes that are priced right, marketed well and in good condition are still selling, and often at strong prices. Plus, homeowners now have the near record level of equity, foreclosures are low, lending standards are tighter than what they were back in 2008, and there's not a wave of forced sales ready to flood the market and drive prices down. So all these factors create stability.
Speaker 1:So if you need to sell this year, whether you're relocating the upsizing or downsizing or ready for a change you're still in a good spot to get a solid value on your home, and so for most people, real estate's still a long-term investment. So if you're planning to buy and sell in a year, you might stress about these short-term ups and downs, but if you're like most homeowners, you're staying put for five, seven or even 10 years or more and you're likely to see steady appreciation add up. And so remember that real estate is local. National headlines set the mood, but the local data sets the price. You know some areas like our. We have some very desirable neighborhoods with low inventory. We'll continue to appreciate faster than the national average and so, while others might flatten out for a while as inventory catches up with demand.
Speaker 1:So some takeaways from this. The market is not crashing, it's normalizing. It's getting back to a steadier, healthier pace. It's better for everyone, you know buyers, sellers and our community. So if you're on the fence whether you're a first time home buyer and investor or homeowner, wondering if that's now, if it's the right time to make a move, the best next move is to get clarity about your specific neighborhood and your goals. So what's happening nationally is interesting, but really what's matters is what's happening in your neighborhood, in your zip code, on your street and in your situation. So, of course, if you want to talk through that, reach out anytime. We'd be glad to share what's happening. We'd be glad to do a market analysis. We typically do a two-step approach. Your unique home, your unique situation is different, and so we have a process that we follow for your specific home. So, with all this information, don't panic, stay informed and remember, in real estate, knowledge is power and we'd love to have the conversation about your specific home, your specific neighborhood.
Speaker 1:Now, we've helped a lot of people with buying and selling at the same time. That's a common occurrence and we can help thread the needle with that. You know you've got to decide of people with buying and selling at the same time. That's a common occurrence and we can help thread the needle with that. You know you've got to decide Do you sell before you buy? Do you buy before you sell? I mean, we can help you navigate what that looks like and again, providing clarity, providing knowledge, it is possible to do that.
Speaker 1:Also, the conversations we're having with families that have had maybe it's a family that's inherited property and it could be land, maybe you're you're sitting on a lot of land and you own it with other family members, but then you don't. Then you're saying to yourselves well, I don't want to pay the the capital gains on it, and then maybe one family member is more driven to sell than another, I mean. So there's there's different reasons why people are wanting to buy or sell. Maybe you don't want to be in ownership with another family member. Again, real estate's one of the number one, number one most fought over um real estate. Real estate's one of the number one fought over assets, especially in uh in in with with families, and again, that's we can help prevent that, we can help navigate through that. Um, we can help prevent that, we can help navigate through that, and we can help be a guide and provide clarity.
Speaker 1:The thing too, though, is there are opportunities. If you own a large land tract and you're just paying taxes on it, of course you're getting the benefit of the appreciation, but you're not really getting a return in the sense of revenue. Your dollars could be working for you. We've helped people do what's called a 1031 exchange, where they sell property, they defer the taxes and they can move it into a real estate property that's receiving revenue. You can get mailbox money, you can defer the taxes, you can take advantage of that, but a lot of baby boomers are managing real estate that was acquired years ago and are dealing with the problems of that. Also, a lot of our clients are in retirement and looking to enjoy the best of their life, and being a landlord is not the thing you want to be doing. Also, a lot of our clients are looking to enter assisted living communities, and then you know, the thing is, though, you might have some real estate that has been passed down through partnerships or corporations or trusts.
Speaker 1:I mean, these are things that we can work through. You know, this is also interesting, the way things are structured and how you want to navigate through. Think, planning ahead for your family, planning ahead for your legacy, planning ahead for challenges that your family might have in your legacy and with your estate. We can help prevent and we can work ahead and put a plan in place for that and, again, some of these solutions. And we have financial advisors that we partner with tax consultants. We have attorneys estate attorneys that can provide clarity. We can work together with you and your family and the estate attorneys, the financial advisors, the tax consultants, your CPA. We work together and that's the benefit of working with the Georgia Real Estate Group, the resources that we have and the team that we've assembled to help ultimately provide clarity for you to decide what's right.
Speaker 1:We'd love to have the conversation about what your unique situation is. It could be land. It could be a rental property. It could be apartments you own. It could be your personal home. It could be an investment property. We've we're able to even help it. In addition to Western North Carolina, we also serve upstate South Carolina and with our network of other professionals across the country, if you have real estate in other areas, we certainly can help, guide and navigate through that and consult on that Because of our network of real estate professionals across the country. We can have those conversations and we're so grateful. I talked to an agent recently in another market. We have a client that we're working through and we can again partner to help ultimately provide the support for our clients with all of that. So it could be your personal home. It could be an investment home. It could be real estate inherited. It could be land.
Speaker 1:You might consider having a conversation with us just to provide clarity and information. You might not know all of your options that are available and then we're happy to do a market analysis. But it's not just the market analysis. What are you going to do with the resources afterwards. How are you going to navigate? Can you avoid the capital gains? There are solutions out there for you and again, the 1031 exchange world where you can defer the taxes, move it into something else, and some of these opportunities in real estate investments you can put it into something that's going to. It can be mailbox money, where these properties are managed by a management company, and so if any of these topics are of interest to you, we certainly would love to have the conversation. You can call us at 828-393-0134, 828-393-0134. We'd love to have the conversation.
Speaker 1:We're here also every Friday morning sponsoring the Hometown Heroes series. This Friday tomorrow morning, bat Cave Fire Department Chief Steve Freeman, the fire department, helps so many people in the Bat Cave community during Helene While all the while sustaining major damages to their fire department. We're going to get an update tomorrow morning, friday morning, from Steve Freeman, bat Cave Fire Department Chief, and we've had some incredible conversations here, you know, every Friday morning with our Hometown Heroes series, from our school teachers to our volunteers, to our law enforcement, to firefighters, to, you know, to even our students, that are making a difference in the community. I mean people are. Our volunteer. Community is incredible, and so if you know somebody making a difference, somebody you want to nominate, somebody you want to have you know, shine a light on. We'd love to have that conversation. You can certainly reach out to WHKP and nominate them. We'd love to have that conversation. So give us a call 828-393-0134.
Speaker 1:The market is still moving. Is it softening a little bit? Yes, but it's certainly still healthy. Single family homes in Henderson County we're averaging 126 single family homes a month, selling Inventory levels remaining steady. I mean the supply and demand. I mean we have about a five-month supply of single-family homes in the market and we work closely with so many, whether it's our attorneys, our home inspectors, our lenders, our tax advisors, our financial advisors. It's an entire ensemble working together for our clients. If you need contractors, if you need a plumber or an electrician or an antiman, we have those resources available and can point you in the right direction.
Speaker 1:Maybe you're dealing with an estate and you're like how am I going to work through all the possessions? Do we want to donate, do we want to give? Do we want to sell? Do we want to keep? I mean there's so much which I know can feel overwhelming, but having somebody to be alongside you, we have teams that can help with that as well.
Speaker 1:With the estate, uh, working through the estates, it's never too early to have the conversation. We had the conversation this week with somebody that was two to three years out. That's okay, you know this. Literally they they said, well, we don't want to waste your time. I was like we are doing this every single day, regardless of whether you're doing something tomorrow, whether you're doing something in 12 months or or or in two years.

Speaker 1:Thinking about estate planning for your real estate. Without a smart approach, the property you leave behind could become an unwelcome burden for your kids. Many children simply don't want to co-manage an inherited house or deal with the tenants. Fortunately, you can prevent that with the right plan. The George Real Estate Group specializes in tax-efficient strategies like 1031 exchanges and Delaware Statutory Trust to simplify inheritance and income planning. A 1031 exchange can defer your capital gain taxes now and help your kids avoid a big tax bill later. And a DST lets you continue earning rental income without landlord headache. Plus, it can be split among your children, making inheritance easier. Planning ahead is one of the kindest gifts you can give your family. Let us help you secure your legacy. Call the George Real Estate Group at 828-393-0134 today. You've worked hard to build your legacy. Now let us help you protect it for your loved ones.
