I’m taking a break from my normal posts on the site because things just don’t seem quite back to normal, yet, though we are slowly finding our rhythm again after the hurricane. It’s been a busy few weeks for all of us in Western North Carolina. A month ago today, the storm began its deluge. The community response has been inspiring, especially in under-resourced areas like Barnardsville. It’s an area close to our hearts that was hit particularly hard, and we’re seeing neighbors step up to help. We’ve been gathering supplies for Barnardsville residents and organizing deliveries. If you’d like to donate, feel free to reach out—I can guide you on what’s needed most. (Text me at 828-412-0678)
Despite the post-hurricane challenges, the real estate world here has kept moving. We recently closed on a new construction property for out-of-state clients at 115 Campground Road in Hendersonville—an area that thankfully avoided Helene’s worst impacts. It’s a peaceful spot with great access to the best of Hendersonville and the Blue Ridge Mountains.
On the listing side, we’re excited about a beautiful newer construction home at 34 Walnut Lane in Asheville, now live at $439,000. This home has a fresh design, modern finishes, and a great location close to all the city’s conveniences. We also have several other sellers who were originally planning to list before the hurricane and are now gearing up to proceed soon.
On a brighter note, we’re seeing some of our city parks reopening. After a lot of hard work by the city’s Parks & Recreation team, spaces like Pack Square Park, Pritchard Park, and several others are welcoming folks back. Not all parks are fully accessible yet, but it’s great to see a few favorite spots returning to normal.
The leaves are showing their colors at the lower elevations in Asheville, turning the whole area into an autumn showcase. This time of year is something special here—the reds, oranges, and yellows bring a cozy vibe to the mountain views.
As always, if you have questions about the market or just want to talk Asheville, drop me a line. There’s a lot to navigate, and I’m here to help.
Take care,
Dylan
