A Sold Score values how many homes are being sold compared to how many are available. While we don't have a number for Asheville, we can look at other indicators to get a sense of the market. Around one-third as many homes are pending sale as there are active listings right now.This snapshot tells us that for every 100 homes currently listed for sale, about 33 are already in the process of being sold. This "pending ratio" is slightly higher over the past year, up 3.4%.The median listing price in Asheville is $585,975. This price has dropped a bit recently, down 0.5% from the previous month and 1.8% compared to last year.Homes are also staying on the market a little longer, with the median home now taking 59 days to sell, which is up 1.7% from last year.This suggests that while homes are still selling, buyers have a bit more time to make decisions, and prices are leveling off or even decreasing slightly. If you're looking to buy, you might find a bit more breathing room to negotiate and explore your options.
