Henderson County Real Estate Update and Community Service Spotlight

• George Real Estate Group

Share episode

The resilience of Henderson County shines in this revealing conversation about our real estate market and the vital community services helping neighbors in need. Noah George shares encouraging market data showing a 14% increase in new listings and 9% more closed sales year-to-date, with prices holding remarkably steady despite longer days-on-market. Buyers will appreciate hearing that mortgage rates have finally stabilized into a more predictable range, removing a significant barrier to confident decision-making.

But what makes this episode truly special is our conversation with Lynn Staggs, celebrating The Storehouse's 25th anniversary serving Henderson County. What began as a modest effort helping 40 children at Christmas has transformed into a comprehensive support system that aided over 2,700 children last holiday season following Hurricane Helene. Lynn's stories reveal the often-invisible struggles many neighbors face - seniors surviving on $500-700 monthly Social Security payments with minimal food assistance, families requesting basic necessities like bedding and warm clothes rather than toys, and the ongoing recovery challenges in our hardest-hit communities.

The episode takes us behind the scenes of The Storehouse's ambitious expansion plans, with construction underway on a new 12,000 square foot facility that will dramatically increase their capacity to serve. We learn about their innovative teaching kitchen plans, massive Christmas program logistics, and how they've managed to operate with just 2.5 paid staff members and 74+ dedicated volunteers. Their "Spark to Change" fundraising campaign runs through July, with matching funds from ten community partners making every donation go further.

This conversation beautifully illustrates Henderson County's two parallel realities - growing prosperity alongside persistent need - and how local organizations bridge this gap through extraordinary commitment. Whether you're considering a real estate move or looking for meaningful ways to support your community, this episode offers valuable insights, practical information, and inspiring stories of neighbors helping neighbors during both everyday challenges and unprecedented crises.

Speaker 1:

We have one of our regular special guests, lynn Staggs of the Storehouse of Henderson County, with us this morning. Good morning Lynn. Good morning Noah. Thank you so much for being here. We have a lot to talk about and I know, before we jump into the conversation about the storehouse, just to give a little snapshot on our market in Henderson County. Now, this is a different number. I know you and I have had over the years guessing games with a single family. But I'm going to look at the single family plus condos and plus townhomes, if you want to guess what the average sales price is if you include condos and townhomes.

Speaker 2:

That should adjust it downward a little bit to maybe $485,000.

Speaker 1:

Good guess. Yes, actually, if you include condos and townhomes, which are about 10% respectively in our market, it brings our average sales price over the last. Actually year to date puts it at 509, which is pretty interesting. But I will want to reflect for our listeners just a snapshot of our market. We've had a 14% increase in new listings year to date through the end of June versus year to date last year and a 5% increase in pending sales and a 9% increase in closed sales through the end of June when you look at the year to date through the end of June versus year to date through the end of June last year. But we've had a 2% drop in the median sales price and a 1.4% drop in the average sales price.

Speaker 1:

But the point is things are holding. Now I will say one other thing is the days on market's getting longer. You know you're seeing more price reductions. You're seeing days on market longer. We're actually up through the end of june this year. The days on market until the sale are up 37 to 63 days, um, and then that's.

Speaker 2:

I mean that's a record for the past couple of years. Well, right.

Speaker 1:

I mean previously, the previous year date was 46 days and then days until closed is now up 17 percent. You know like it's one thing to go under contract but then when you close, that's now at 116 days from when you total, from when you originally go on the market, to going under contract, to closing. So I mean close to four months now is the average days till close now, which is up 17% compared to the previous timeframe. So, all this to say, the market is still strong. We're averaging about 126 single family homes a month selling in Henderson County, low inventory levels. The market, the sky is not falling, the market's still moving. And again, if you're thinking about buying or selling or investing in real estate or career in real estate, we'd love to have the conversation. Give us a call 828-393-0134, 828-393-0134.

Speaker 1:

And then, and we will touch on interest rates for just a minute, but mortgage rates are stabilizing. You know the mortgage rates are stabilizing, you stabilizing. For now I mean the past year the rates have certainly had their share of going up and down, making it is challenging for buyers to know what to expect. But recently the rates have started to level out and settle into a more narrow range and rates really have stayed within a half a percent point since late last year, um, but, and of course there's a little movement in that, but the big wild swings and sudden ups and downs just haven't been the story lately, which is wonderful and giving buyers more clarity. Buyers give the. It takes away the unpredictability. Buyers can plan ahead, you know, and compared to when the rates were running, were jumping around from week to week, it was really intimidating for buyers. And so the point is, the rates are the rate, the price are the prices.

Speaker 1:

You want to work with a real estate broker that can help you navigate through the buying and selling process and we'd certainly love to interview for the job. Again, call us at 828-393-0134, 828-393-0134. We're so passionate about promoting and helping and sharing the story of incredible you know nonprofits like yourself, the Storehouse, doing incredible work here in the community. And there's you know we've said this before there's two sides of the coin. There's great prosperity here and great wealth, and there's you know we've said this before there's two sides of the coin. There's great prosperity here and great wealth, and there's also great need here, which again lends itself. There's an opportunity for you to give to you, to give back as our listeners in our community and the Storehouse.

Speaker 2:

This is your 25th 25th year we're having our anniversary year this year.

Speaker 1:

That's amazing 25 years serving the community and there's been so much you guys have been doing throughout those 20 years and I love sharing with our listeners about the work you're doing. You know, in starting 20 years, 25 years ago, you know, and it's been a you really have a multifaceted approach to serving our community and we want you have a lot of things going going on, but let's remind our listeners about what the storehouse does well, we, of course.

Speaker 2:

Every week we're serving people food, coats, blankets, hygiene products. We do that all year long, and then we do senior delivery routes all year long, and then, starting in october, we get ready for Christmas, and Christmas is vastly approaching.

Speaker 1:

And for Christmas. For you guys. People don't realize unless they've heard about it or seen it, and certainly they might have heard about it, but if you haven't seen it, you don't realize the undertaking you guys do.

Speaker 2:

The breadth and the scope of christmas. I mean we partner with henderson county public schools and we go in for 10 straight days and do intakes for all the schools in henderson county. And christmas does not stop at 12 years old. We go all the way up through the high school kids.

Speaker 1:

So that's amazing and there's some. What is the number number? Some 15,000 Henderson County students.

Speaker 2:

Yes, I think it is right around 15,000. A normal year. Last year was not a normal year because of the hurricane, but a normal year. We usually serve about 2,100 kids. Last year we served 2,700 plus children, so the hurricane kind of threw a lot into that, and so this year I'm hoping we'll be getting back towards more normal numbers so.

Speaker 1:

So when you partner with the Henderson County school system, you're identifying families and children's children that are in need, and and and these, and can you clarify again what that might look like?

Speaker 2:

we have the social workers and the counselors from the schools so that we are verifying that these are actual children in Henderson County in school, so that when I give a donor a tag these are real kids and they are only in one program here. We do advise them that they can only be signed up for one program in Henderson County and we do check it with the other agencies that do Christmas.

Speaker 1:

But what does this look like? I mean so you're intaking. I mean this is when people think of Christmas, you're thinking a lot of people naturally would think toys. But what people don't realize is a lot of the families are requesting just essentials.

Speaker 2:

Oh, bags, bedding, clothes, warm things, coats, socks, socks, yes, under clothes, it's all of that, and last year especially, it was extremely heavily on bedding and warm clothes because they had lost everything through the hurricane.

Speaker 1:

Yes, so here we are in j July, and I mean this is you've already been working on Christmas.

Speaker 2:

Well, we had Christmas booked last year for this year, and so we've been working on it throughout this year and we will be doing our training starting October 1st.

Speaker 1:

It's around the corner, yes, and so Christmas is a huge component of what the storehouse does. And what was the number last year? How many family or children?

Speaker 2:

It was 2,700, plus children, wow, so it was a lot. That was a lot, it was a whole lot.

Speaker 1:

And so powerful and year round, you're also serving another demographic.

Speaker 2:

Yes, the seniors and the elderly here in Henderson County, with our delivery routes, we go out every month and we take them their food and their extras bags with hygiene and cleaning supplies, paper supplies, things that food stamps don't cover, plus whatever we have, and I I don't know what to call it, but maybe a prize bag.

Speaker 1:

Um, like a surprise the surprise.

Speaker 2:

It is a surprise because we never know if everything's going to come in on time and we have to get everything together for all the people on the delivery routes so every single way, week you, your team, your volunteers are distributing food all week, every week, wow, and we're still working in the background on Christmas and we're building a building.

Speaker 1:

Well, well before we get to the building, like you and other non-profits. After Helene saw an incredible surge of demand.

Speaker 2:

Oh yes, and it's not gone away. I mean, there were lots of programs in place that are not going to be in place any longer. So the demand is going to go up and our resources have not gone up.

Speaker 1:

Well, not necessarily match the demand, and so there is an's an opportunity to I mean, this is where we're getting the word out is for the need we need more food, we need more produce.

Speaker 2:

We need, we need more everything the hygiene, the cleaning supplies, all those things are needed yeah, and that's where a lot of people think oh, food stamps, they stamps.

Speaker 1:

They cover paper and hygiene items.

Speaker 2:

That's not true, they do not Food stamps only cover edible food Right. And they do not cover toilet paper and paper towels.

Speaker 1:

Or toothpaste. Yeah, things that you definitely need every day, yeah so, and you did at one point share with me that that I mean it's hard to comprehend, but a lot of your clients don't even get a hundred dollars worth of food stamps a month a lot of the seniors um.

Speaker 2:

They may get 20 25 dollars of food stamps a month a month a month on their five to seven hundred dollar paycheck from social security monthly monthly paycheck, so within that they have to fit whatever rent difference they have to cover, any food differences they have to cover and any bills transportation medical.

Speaker 1:

I mean they're the prescriptions. I mean yes everything has to fit in that little bitty, tiny box so, and again, this is 25 years the storehouse has been serving henderson county and, and in after helene, again, exponential demand and growth. In the meantime, you guys had been planning this for a long time this building, yes, and you're currently on spartanburg highway.

Speaker 2:

Yes, and you're going to be moving about a mile and a half down the road, 1.7 miles up the road, so it was already underway before the hurricane and you can't stop in the middle so we have to just keep pressing on which was the intention all along.

Speaker 1:

And the interesting thing is again the timing of it, because you are having increased demand, and so part of the purpose of the building is to increase your capacity to serve the community.

Speaker 2:

And our capacity to buy bigger amounts of food so that we can bring the price down. So we'll have a much bigger warehouse. We'll go from 4,200 square feet to almost 12,000 square feet. So we'll have warehouse space where we can bring in pallets of food versus, you know just a few little Like. Right now we can't handle more than three to four pallets, but in the new place we could probably handle 12 to 20 pallets. But in the new place we could probably handle 12 to 20 pounds.

Speaker 1:

Wow, because you're moving into, was it 12,000 square feet about?

Speaker 2:

right up under right up under 12,000 square feet, as big as we could put on that lot.

Speaker 1:

That's what we're in that's amazing and and uh, you know there's a lot of uh components of this new building from a loading dock, oh yes.

Speaker 2:

Loading bay doors. We'll be able to have a room specifically for senior deliveries instead of five different offices working out of my office, which will be great.

Speaker 1:

And I know you've told me you're excited about the teaching kitchen.

Speaker 2:

Yes, that's going to be like a huge thing that we've been wanting to do for a long time. When we were on 7th Avenue, we had a kitchen. When we moved over to Spartanburg Highway, we didn't have a kitchen, so we will be able to get back into having cooking classes and having people come in and doing some. You know, out of the box thinking. You know cooking out of the box. Here's the box of food that you're receiving today. What can we do out of this box? Or having a class on? I don't know what to do with this vegetable. I've never experienced this before Just different things and basics. Know the measurements, how to cook rice in a bag simple stuff that people haven't learned or just haven't experienced or maybe need to be reminded.

Speaker 1:

I mean there's a. I mean just there's so many different. You know ways to prepare and when they're receiving this food into it helps it go so much further across the board, which which you know. So you have this building in in process right now. If you've driven down Spartanburg highway, you've most likely seen it up.

Speaker 2:

I mean the the metal frame is up and the steel frame, the steel frame the roof and we got a couple of walls up now and a door. We got a door today so exciting.

Speaker 1:

And this time of year is your annual fourth of july matching fun, spark to change, and this has been. How many years ago did this first start?

Speaker 2:

this is our 13th or 14th year doing this. So we had a couple of veterans come in all those years ago and said you know, we've received an inheritance. We will match anything you raise up to $10,000. And you got eight weeks and they walked out and so we ran with it and we made it. We raised $11,000 that first year.

Speaker 1:

And, by the way, back then you're like, how can we even do this? Oh, the way back then you're like, how can we do even do this?

Speaker 2:

Oh, yes, I mean, we were definitely. How can we even do that?

Speaker 1:

Well, that reminds me of how many children did you serve Christmas to the very first year you did this? I think there was 40 kids 40, which felt like a lot.

Speaker 2:

Oh, it was a lot. It was a lot, it was a lot, and then this last year $2,600. $2,700.

Speaker 1:

$2,700. I don't want to short you and so the first year you did the matching funds campaign. It was $11,000.

Speaker 2:

For a grand total of $21,000.

Speaker 1:

Which is incredible. And so what's your goal this year?

Speaker 2:

The goal was $150,000.

Speaker 1:

And we've had a couple of setbacks because of location of the banners and and different things going on and you're still in process we're still.

Speaker 2:

We're still in process.

Speaker 1:

So and this runs. This ran from the beginning of june through the end of july.

Speaker 2:

That's right so you still have time there is still time so if your iras need to be paid out or anything, or you feel like this is something that you want to give to, please think of us. It's storehouseonlineorg, or come by the office at 1049 Spartanburg Highway or you can mail it.

Speaker 1:

Well, and it's so important again just now, the couple that did that that one time. This has evolved into how many churches are doing this now with you we have, I think, 10 donors.

Speaker 2:

Now we have advent. Health is our corporate sponsor east flat rock. First baptist church. Ebenezer baptist church. First baptist church, fruitland baptist church. Grace lutheran church, hendersonville church. Church of God, hendersonville Presbyterian Church, reformation Presbyterian and St James Episcopal Church.

Speaker 1:

What a partnership. And so these churches are, and Advent, right, yes, and Advent are partnering with the storehouse for matching funds, and so your dollar does go further. And so the 4th of July sparked the change.

Speaker 2:

Yes.

Speaker 1:

And so there's an opportunity. You can go online to storehouseonlineorg. Did I say that?

Speaker 2:

right, yes, storehouseonlineorg.

Speaker 1:

Or call up, or reach out or stop by 828-692-8300.

Speaker 2:

So this is a significant portion of your yearly budget it usually meets all of our budget for the year for buying food and just operating expenses, so this is more than helpful when you donate to this.

Speaker 1:

This is how we get to do what we're doing yeah, it's so important to give, to be part of it. Now, do you have a timeline on the building?

Speaker 2:

Well, everything is flowing faster than I could possibly imagine right now, so it could be as long as the vendor things come in on time could be end of the year or beginning of next year.

Speaker 1:

Which is so exciting.

Speaker 2:

And very fast, very, very fast, which is so exciting, and very fast, very very fast and it's happening.

Speaker 1:

That's amazing.

Speaker 2:

Very fast.

Speaker 1:

I know your organization, like majority of the nonprofits here in town. The volunteers are so critical.

Speaker 2:

Oh, and I have the best volunteers. I'm sorry for all the other places, but I have the best volunteers. We are completely run by volunteer staff. There are two and a half paid people myself and the office manager, who is not paid enough. The office manager is worth her weight in gold. Linda Dolan is the best and then everybody else. We have 74-plus volunteers who come in on different days of the week and get everything done All the boxes packed, everything broke down, deliveries, pickups. I mean the cleaning of the building even is volunteer staff and I have like five Lindas and the lindas are the best I have linda the bookkeeper, linda the cleaner, linda the office manager I have.

Speaker 1:

There's a pattern there.

Speaker 2:

There is the best lindas in town or at the storehouse. They are, and all the lindas are organized.

Speaker 1:

So what a riot. My name is not linda and, again, incredible effort in volunteer. And's what I in my experience with working with people that are moving here from other parts of the country. Frankly, and one of the most common questions, we get this all the time. We want to volunteer, we want to give back, we want to be involved and you see that in our community, the generosity, definitely that's what I was sharing at the beginning. I mean we have great prosperity, great wealth here, and in talking to you and talking to our other non-profits in the community, I mean the community shows up and they step up definitely.

Speaker 2:

And and it shows up like at mail carriers, food drive during the hurricane, everybody stepped up, and I mean everybody. Even the people who lost everything were volunteering well you bring up.

Speaker 1:

We had the opportunity to talk with the bat bat cave fire chief last friday for our hometown hero series and if you hadn't had a chance to go and listen, go to our podcast. He lost his home and, to your point, he put aside his own loss and was on the front lines helping others. And that was this. That was a common story. You hear from people. You we heard stories many times where people themselves that had lost it all themselves were out there helping others and they and people and they would. They were very, um, they, they, they and again, incredible.

Speaker 2:

Yes, I had at least four to five volunteers who had to move out of their homes because their homes were damaged by trees or flooded or they lost a room or whatever the situation was. But they were right there on their regular day helping pass things out, helping bag things up. It never stopped their volunteering. They, they did not miss any days. We. We opened right back up that next week wow we started, we had drive-through lines and the people who lost their homes, they were still right there and some serving two of them, I know for a fact, are still not back in their homes yet.

Speaker 1:

Wow, yeah, yeah, the recovery, and that's another conversation. I mean, for a lot of us we quote unquote feel life is normal and for a lot of our town there are somewhat. You can go to the grocery store, you have your power, you have the gas. And, please remember, there's a number of our people in our community that are still, uh, you know, out of their home. They're, they're still in recovery and they're still rebuilding and and certainly our, our neighbors in chimney, rock and bat cave and gerton are, it's still ground zero it is and they're.

Speaker 2:

It's not that they're not even trying. There's nothing to recover. They're having to start from beyond. Scratch.

Speaker 1:

You can't well, they're just trying to get the roads in place, even to start the rebuilding. It's, it's, it's going to be a multi-year uh at least five to seven years yeah because they're.

Speaker 2:

It's not just going in. Oh well, we can just take a modular and sit right back here. Not if you don't have a well, not if you don't have the wiring, not if you don't have a power pole.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

The infrastructure's gone.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, it's sobering to consider and to remember and to hold space for that and it's a reminder. I mean, this is why we're having these conversations and so the nonprofits in our community, and specifically the storehouse, are out there, boots on the ground, in the front lines helping our community and there's a way to give back and to be part of it, and the storehouse specifically. When you give to the storehouse, those monies stay in Henderson County.

Speaker 2:

Definitely, because we only serve Henderson County.

Speaker 1:

That is my mission field. So if people want to give, how do they give? What's the best way to connect and share about all that? The best way?

Speaker 2:

You can give at storehouseonlineorg or you can call us at 692-8300. You can mail us a check at PO Box 6146, Hendersonville, 28793.

Speaker 1:

Speaker 2:

Everything Just come on down, we'll give you a tour and we'll show it all to you.

Speaker 1:

It's amazing and this is what makes our community so amazing is the generosity of our community. The volunteers, again. People move here. We hear the conversation all the time. We want to get involved, we want to volunteer and our community is so resilient and it's powerful to see it all come together. This is where it's interesting when you talk to locals and people that got here as quick as they could, they say, but, like you know, people like to shut the door behind them. But that's I mean. The reality is we're having, or continue to have, growth here in our community and it's and it's part of the, I mean when you live and you're passionate about where we live and what we call home and for all the reasons, the quality of life, the amazing people, the community I mean all the outdoor, the wonderful schools we have. I mean there's so many things that make our community what it is. I mean. No wonder people are attracted to it.

Speaker 2:

Yes, we love the schools. I especially love Hendersonville because we're bear cats. That's just the best.

Speaker 1:

My rising junior son. He has a different feeling. He loves he's at east right now, and so I know there's a lot of uh, a lot of school spirit in our community, which makes it wonderful too definitely for sure.

Speaker 1:

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.
