  • Lauren and Ashton went above and beyond for us during our home buying process.

    As first time homebuyers, transparency and honesty were a big priority to us. Ashton and Lauren gave us their honest thoughts and suggestions the entire process. They were always easy to communicate with and made sure that at least one of them could be at everything they needed to be every step of the way. They were extremely helpful with negotiating our offer and getting the best deal on our home. There were a few things that needed work and they were able to help us negotiate credits and get a fair price for the home we were purchasing. During the due diligence process they were always on top of everything, making sure we were on schedule to close and guiding us through each step of the home buying journey. Ashton and Lauren are a dream team and were so great to work with. Always friendly and easy to reach whenever we needed them. I would recommend them 100% to anyone looking to purchase a home in or around Asheville.

Western North Carolina closed out 2025 with strong year-over-year growth in home sales — particularly across Asheville and its surrounding submarkets. While much of that increase reflects genuine, sustained demand, some of the gains — particularly in Buncombe County and the City of Asheville — are tied to recovery from Hurricane Helene, which disrupted fourth-quarter 2024 closings and temporarily paused market activity across the region.
