Frequently Asked Questions for Home Buyers in Asheville, NC

  • Yes—Asheville continues to attract buyers for its natural beauty, thriving local scene, and strong long-term value. While the market is competitive in certain price ranges, there are still great opportunities—especially when you have a smart strategy and local guidance.

  • As of 2025, the median home price in Asheville is around $475,000—but it varies widely based on location, size, and condition. Whether you’re looking in walkable West Asheville, the mountain views of Fairview, or a quiet spot outside the city, I help you understand what your budget can buy.

  • It depends on your loan type.

    • Conventional loans usually require 5–20%

    • FHA loans can go as low as 3.5%

    • VA and USDA loans offer 0% down for eligible buyers
      I can connect you with trusted local lenders to explore your best options.

  • Closing costs typically range from 2–5% of the purchase price and include lender fees, attorney fees, title insurance, and more. I’ll give you a personalized breakdown so you know exactly what to expect—no surprises.

  • Start by getting pre-approved with a lender. This gives you a clear idea of your budget and shows sellers you’re serious. Then, we’ll connect to create your custom search strategy based on your goals, lifestyle, and must-haves.

  • It varies by neighborhood and price point. Some homes still receive multiple offers within days, while others sit longer. I help you craft competitive offers without overpaying—and always keep your long-term goals in focus.

  • Technically, no—but having an experienced buyer’s agent means you get:

    • Expert negotiation and contract guidance

    • Local market insights

    • Early access to listings

    • Someone in your corner every step of the way (at no direct cost to you—the seller usually pays the buyer’s agent fee)

  • Absolutely. I work with many out-of-state buyers and offer virtual showings, local video walk-throughs, and guidance on neighborhoods, schools, short-term rental rules, and more. Whether you’re buying your dream home or a future mountain getaway, I make the process seamless—even from afar.

  • The process can take anywhere from 30–90 days depending on your financing, inventory, and how quickly we find “the one.” I work on your timeline and keep things moving from pre-approval to keys in hand.
