| 4-1-11 Market Report First QTR 2011 |
Asheville NC Real Esatate Sales and Inventory Levels for Residential Properties: The largest number of sales in any one price range continues to be $250,000-$300,000. With modest gains in the county’s sales pace many “would-be sellers” are placing their homes on the market causing spring “blooms” in specific price ranges. These blossoming inventory levels in specific price ranges are creating fierce competition among sellers. With substantially fewer homes on the market in the $150,000-$250,000 range these homes are more likely to sell in the coming year. Homes priced above $500,000 have experienced so few sales that it becomes impossible to calculate absorption levels. The one price range over...450,000 that has enjoyed declining inventory levels is $600,000-$700,000. Overall the volume of inventory for Asheville NC real estate has decreased from 2010 quarter levels of 37 months to a slightly improved 33 months. Inventory levels such as these guarantee increased days on the market and continued downward pressure on prices. Land Inventory Rates: Lot sales above $100,000 have become increasingly uncommon and are likely to remain few and far between for the foreseeable future. In the entire region, there wasn’t a single sale over $400,000 during the first three months of 2011. 83% of land sales have been below $100,000. Even within the $0 to $100,000 category there are almost 11 years...of inventory if no additional parcels are placed on the market and sales continue at their current pace. What is not readily apparent is the distressed inventory currently being held by financial institutions. Between 2004 to 2007, financial institutions provided development financing to developers intended for quick profitable sales. As long as current conditions prevail, those speculative sales will never materialize. As institutions liquidate their collateralized holdings, hundreds and maybe thousands of parcels will eventually be placed on the market. The combination of current inventory and this impending “shadow” inventory will place additional downward pressure on pricing for vacant land There’s limited financing.... for Asheville real estate and wary buyers will further irritate the situation leading to an extremely limited pool of buyers. To attract buyers in the Asheville NC real estate market, sellers will have to consider offering alternative financing and pricing parcels to attract cash investors interested in holding vacant land for the long term. But land prices currently are at record lows and at absolute bargain prices. Most Asheville real estate Developers have turned into speculative or custom builders by purchasing a lot or two and building a well priced home with very little profit margin. Once the market turns they will be out in full force again, but when will that be nobody knows, it will be slow process. See our Asheville Real Estate Market...Report at the top of the page, a great 12 plus page pdf report on Buncombe County and all of Western North Carolina real estate called e-Market Report. It keeps you up-to-date quarter by quarter and year end to year end. Copyright 2011 www.ashevillerealestate.com

| Weekly Real Estate Market Report Updates |
Weekly Update - 1-12-11 New home sales for the nation, which are mirrored by Asheville real estate, rose almost 6% from October to November. Also existing-home sales rose a similar 5.6% in November, showing growth across multiple spectrums of the market. These are not huge increases but they show that the real estate market is improving. In addition in the real estate market, there was a significant increase in the median price of houses sold. From October to November, the median increased from $194,000 to $213,000 – a $19,000 increase (CNN).
The National Association of Realtors (NAR) is expecting the real estate market to improve in 2011. The market has stabilized recently and the modest, but constant growth that was seen in the last quarter is expected to improve in 2011. Also, the NAR maintains that even with recent economic trouble, consumers still have strong desires to own a home. Owning a home has always been a part of the American Dream and consumers are not willing to give up owning a home. This determination will probably play a vital part in restoring the real estate economy to its former height. The Chief Economist of the NAR, Lawrence Yun, says that “The relationship recently between mortgage interest rates, home prices and family income has been the most favorable on record for buying a home since we started measuring in 1970.” What this means is that the Real estate market, nationally and in Asheville, is in the right condition to give birth to a stable and secure market in 2011. Yun also says that the steady creation of jobs that is occurring will further help to boost the real estate market as well as combat any damage that might be done by an increase in mortgage rates.
Weekly Update 1-5-11 Overall, the national real estate market has been improving and this applies to the Asheville real estate market as well. Since September 2010 the U.S. Pending Home Sales Index, an important market indicator, has risen more than 10%. This means that more houses that are under contract are successfully closing. This is good news for realtors as well as clients, as this indicates more stability once a contract has been agreed upon. In addition, the affordability index rose to 183.9 in October 2010. This is more than a 14 point increase from October 2009 (National Association of Realtors). The affordability index measures, on average, how much of a person’s or families’ income goes toward their house payments. What you should know is that a higher affordability index is better for home buyers, which means this news is very good for thoughtful shoppers. Sellers have reason to delight as well. The Consumer Confidence Index has now reached its highest level in the past five months (The Conference Board). A high consumer confidence means that potential home buyers feel more positive toward buying a home and that they are sure it is a good decision. Indeed, this is reflected in the Asheville, NC real estate market as there was a 5.8% increase this year in homes sold annually from 2009 (Beverly- Hanks QMR).
In addition, more growth is expected from Lawrence Yun, the Chief Economist for the National Association of Realtors. He says that “The housing market clearly is in a recovery phase and will be uneven at times, but the improving job market and consequential boost to household formation will help the recovery process going into 2011.” It might not be completely smooth sailing from here on out, but one can expect the housing market to continue improving in 2011.

| Asheville Real Estate - Buying a home in Asheville NC |
Are you thinking about purchasing a home in Asheville? Here is your quick step by step guide.
Step 1:
Your first step is to get pre-qualified by a lender of your choice. If you prefer, Beverly-Hanks has a mortgage department that can help you with this. This is the first most important step; this will help you determine what you can afford to purchase, down payment and closing costs needed.
Step 2:
Once you know what you can afford, the next step is to determine and secure your down payment along with closing costs, home inspection fees and other related fees (your Asheville Realtor® can help you determine these costs).
Step 3:
Once all that is in order, you can now start shopping for Asheville real estate. The first place I would start is the Internet at www.ashevillerealestate.com; this will help give you a feel for pricing, styles, areas, school districts etc...
Step: 4
Based on the information you found on www.ashevillerealestate.com searching for homes, you can now sit down and think about what you are looking for and prefer in a house; price, area, size, bedrooms, bathrooms, how far from work, school districts, do you want a fixer-upper, age of home etc... You will find a large inventory of Asheville real estate to pick from. If you are short on cash you may not want to tackle a fixer-upper this could rob you of any available cash that you might have (and it always costs more than you think).
Step 5:
Once you have a list of your search criteria, you can now hire a Realtor®. The Realtor® will go over agency relationship with you by explaining the "Working With Agents Brochure" and the "Buyers Agency Agreement". The Realtor® will then begin to work with you and start looking up properties for you to view based on your search criteria.
Agency relationships in a nut shell:
Please read the pdf file "Working With Agents" It is a NC law that Agents provide you with this brochure and explain it to you at first substantial contact. For Buyers; until there is a signed Buyers Agency Agreement between the Buyer and Agent, all Agents work for all Sellers, so please do not give any information to any Agent that you would not want a Seller to know. An agent can still take you out and show you properties without a buyer’s agency agreement and they can also fill you in on comparables, statistics, public records, material facts and so on. But once you have an agreement signed then the agent works for you (or as a dual agent) and may be able to provide you with more pertinent information, if available. Also the Asheville area agent will put more effort into finding a buyer a property if he/she knows that the buyer is loyal and not running around with several different agents. In a Dual Agency situation the agents works for both parties and must treat both parties equally/fairly. With Beverly-Hanks you can opt out of the buyer’s agency agreement should you not be satisfied with the agent for any reason. The buyers agency agreement with Beverly-Hanks is a win win situation for both buyer and agent. In addition, in order to submit an offer the agent has to have a signed buyer’s agency agreement, failing which the agent cannot submit an offer for you.
Step 6:
Once you have agreed upon a short list of properties with your Realtor®, it is now time to make appointments and start viewing properties (the fun part).
Step 7:
Once you have narrowed it down it will be time to take that second/third look and decide which home you would like to make an offer on.
Step 8:
Once you have found the house you would like to put the offer in on, your agent will meet with you and discuss everything about the house with you, HOA fees, the property disclosure, any covenants and restrictions, municipality regulations, bylaws, and what all will go into the offer you are presenting to the seller; purchase price, earnest money deposit, closing date, interest rate not to exceed a certain rate, financing contingency, inspection contingency and any other contingencies you feel necessary to add. Your closing date has to be well thought out and your closing date should correspond with your rate lock in period, giving you enough time to obtain financing, any time restraints on your existing situation e.g., existing lease, deposit tied up in a CD and so on. As far as contingencies the more you add, the less desirable your offer becomes. Our normal closing time in Asheville is about 30 - 40 days. IMPORTANT, if this is a foreclosure property you can expect a closing time frame anywhere from 2 to 6 months. Your agent will go over all of this with you.
Step 9:
Negotiating the offer - Once you put an offer in you may receive acceptance or you may receive a counter offer from the seller, it could be limited to a counter on one item or a combination of items, such as countering the purchase price, the closing date, it could be anything in the offer. The buyer can also counter the sellers counter offer. This can go back and forth until such time as there is an agreement or in some cases no agreement.
Step 10:
Understanding the contract - A quick summary of the Offer and Acceptance; The contract starts off with identifying the property in question, stating what fixtures are included in the purchase price, what personal property may be included, the purchase price, amount of earnest money deposit, financing contingency with details on interest rates and amount being financed, the loan obligation that the buyer agrees to perform and the buyers right to terminate, flood hazard disclosure, if applicable, property must appraise at a value equal or exceeding the purchase price, property taxes and HOA dues to be prorated, buyer to pay for all buyer expenses associated with the loan and closing, home warranty if agreed upon, evidence of title, buyer has received a signed copy of the property disclosure, home inspection and radon contingency, cost of repair contingency, closing date, possession, and so on. Your agent will discuss this and more with you.
Step 11:
Once you are under contract you will have certain responsibilities and deadlines to adhere to; application to the lender, providing lender with all necessary items in a timely manner, obtaining homeowners insurance, title insurance, home inspection, radon, water and wood destroying insect report, repair agreement, if necessary, communication with the closing attorney. If you find terms on the contract that you need the definition for view our real estate glossary.
Step 12:
Negotiating inspections: Once the buyer has completed the home inspection and all other inspections and the reports shows items that are in need of repair the buyer will convey this to the seller with a written repair agreement. The seller has the option of agreeing to the repair request, not completing any repairs or both parties agree to do a partial list of repairs or both parties agree to not do any repairs. What ever both parties agree to is fine but if the buyer is not in agreement to change from the full repair list and the seller will not agree to the full list of repairs then the buyer has the option to terminate the contract and all earnest monies will be returned to buyer.
Step 13:
The buyer has the option of picking a closing attorney; this can be any real estate closing attorney the buyer wishes to use. Due to the deed and other paper work having to be recorded locally I would definitely suggest using a local attorney.
Step 14:
Let's assume that both parties agreed to the repair agreement, the lender has approved the loan, all contingencies have been met, your deposit is ready to be wired to the attorney, you have your homeowners insurance in place and you are a few days from closing.
Step 15:
A few days before closing the buyer and agent will receive a settlement statement from the attorney. This statement will list all of the items and funds paid in and out for this particular real estate closing transaction. Your agent will go over this with the buyer prior to closing, if there are any changes to be made, the agent will notify the closing attorney.
Step 16:
Congratulations you just bought yourself a new home!
The above is just a quick summary with some of the key points included. This does not represent the entire contents of an offer or contract, please contact your professional Realtor® and/or attorney and they will go over this with you in its entirety.

| Selling Your Home |
I want to sell my home.
All of these questions are addressed below:
How do I prepare my home?
How do I determine price?
What's the step by step process in listing my house?
Can you help with my relocation?
Can you help me with moving?
How long will it take to get my house on the market?
Why choose Beverly-Hanks?
How do I prepare my home?
For starters you need good curbside appeal and to obtain this, you need to make sure the property is tidy, neat, and manicured:
Yard:
Lawns edged
Bushes trimmed
New mulch in beds
Driveway clean of weeds
Flower beds weed free and edged
Landscaping:
Stand back and look, if you need a few shrubs put them in
Add some new mulch, nothing looks and smells better than fresh mulch
Exterior of house:
If it needs paint, paint it
Do a good paint job (the buyer can tell if you did a hurry up job and then the buyers will think you did this on everything, and you probably did)
Interior:
Clutter is the first enemy, remove all clutter, you can box it up and store it, you will need to do this when you move anyway.
Clean, tidy kitchen, bathrooms and entire house
Paint if necessary
Steam clean the carpet or if they are bad, put in new carpet
And live clean and tidy while your home is on the market, I know it's tough but it might be the difference of selling your home or sitting on it for a long time.
Usual comment:
I don't even do this for myself why should I do this for the next guy. The reason is that the next guy is buying your house and there is a large inventory of homes for this guy to consider which means competition for you. On another example if you were advertising your car for sale, I'm sure you would clean it up so that you could get top dollar for it and the person would want to buy it. So, the same applies to your house, you want top dollar for it and you want to sell it. This should be motivation enough to do what is needed to get your home sold for top dollar.
What is the step by step process in listing my house?
1. Contact a Realtor® and make an appointment to discuss listing your home.
On the first visit you can expect a total meeting time of about 2-2.5 hours.
The Realtor® will meet with you and discuss the following:
Agency Relationship and go over the "Working with Agents" brochure (if he/she has not already done so) with you.
Your situation and your plans for moving, this will give the agent a better understanding of your situation and also how to better market your property.
Asheville real estate agents commission structure, only payable once the home is sold and there are no other costs to the seller in regard to agent’s fees.
Marketing your property and services that the Realtor® and the real estate company offers, and what they can do to get your property sold in the least
Amount of time it may take to sell your home and for the best possible price.
Current Asheville real estate market, current inventory, days on market and the time frame that it might take to sell the property. etc..
Look over your house in preparation for the CMA that the Realtor will be performing.
Give you help in determining what might need to be done to get the house in shape for the current Asheville real estate market.
The listing agreement and all the related forms that go with it, including home inspection items such as home inspections, radon, lead based paint (if applicable), water testing etc..
The Realtor® will leave you a package/folder with all of the necessary listing agreements and related forms for you to review at your leisure.
How do I determine price? And how long will it take to get my house on the market?
2. Second meeting the Realtor® will: (about 2 hours with number 2 and 3 combined).
Have prepared the (CMA) comparative market analysis which covers similar homes to yours that have recently sold, active homes for sale, days on market that it took to sell those homes, expired listings on homes meaning they did not sell.
Meet with you to discuss pricing, length of time to sell the property, listing duration, showing instructions and finalize the listing price. Go over all of the listing forms and agreements (now that the owner has had time to review) and have the seller sign all forms and listing agreement. The seller may want time to think about the pricing, listing the house etc.., if so, there will need to be a third meeting (see below).
It normally takes anywhere from 1-2 days to get your home on the market.
3. Second/Third meeting (depending on if the owner wants some time to think over the whole scenario from the second meeting).
Realtor® will go back through the house and measure for square footage, write down all details and unique features of the house and prepare it for the Asheville real estate market.
The Realtor® will order a professional photographer for photos and virtual tour.
Within a couple of days your property will be actively on the market with details, photos and virtual tour and ready for showing.
The Realtor® will supply you with details on who is showing your property and provide feedback after they have shown your property. We get about 80% feedback responses from the showing agents. Like in any business there are always those bad apples that will not cooperate, for what it's worth at least you know who they are from the showing details that are emailed to you.
Can you help with my relocation?
We have a relocation department that can refer you to one of our vast real estate network agencies that we partner with all over the country. They will find you an agent that specializes in the area you are moving to.
Can you help me with our move?
We work with many different moving companies and will be able to get you quotes and assist you with your move.

I know you will be considering many factors when looking for an Asheville luxury home: area, architectural design, views, topography, city/town amenities, and development amenities. You will also need to consider location, privacy or a maybe a need for a social community atmosphere. The proximity to city/town amenities may also be important such as proximity to downtown Asheville, Airport, healthcare/hospitals, schools, work, social clubs, shopping etc., and of course an experienced and professional Realtor® that knows the area.

Use an experienced Realtor® - When buying a high-end luxury home, you need to find a professional realtor® who is experienced in Asheville luxury homes. Your realtor® needs to listen to the clients needs and understand what the client is looking for. Your realtor® also needs to understand and know the Asheville NC real estate market and the general market conditions which can affect how you buy and where you buy.

I am a qualified, experienced and professional Realtor® and I am here to assist you in finding that perfect Asheville NC luxury home for sale and to make this an exciting, enjoyable and stress free time for you.
Understanding your client - A realtor® needs to understand what their clients are actually looking for in a Asheville NC luxury home whether they would like to build or buy an existing home, their lifestyle and personalities reflect on where they would like to live and what sort of home they would like to purchase or build.
Housing specifications, needs and budget - Once I have an understanding of my client’s basic needs and wants, I can start the process of putting together a portfolio of luxury real estate. A few key factors in putting together the portfolio is the buyers housing specifications, such as size, floor plan, style, bedrooms, bathrooms, media room, fitness center, rec center, pool, entertaining needs, and of course the finishes. Housing needs: Will this be used for a second home? Primary residence? Need to consider maintenance? Do you need a concierge service? And most importantly what is your budget?
If you are looking for an Asheville NC luxury home in a new community then finding the right area is your next step - Below are three different samples of Asheville NC new home communities (we have many more). This might help give you an insight as to what sort of area/community you might be considering or not considering.
Cliffs at Walnut Cove - If you are looking for golf and amenities as part of your package, The Cliffs at Walnut Cove offers 1,500 acres of beautiful forests and a grand 18 hole Jack Nicklaus signature golf course with a landscape of lush meadows and streams.

Ciel offers large home sites in a natural setting with homes that fit into the natural environment. Ciel boasts outstanding views of downtown Asheville, Mount Pisgah and the Blue Ridge Mountains. Ciel is a 117 acre, 25 home site development located in north Asheville on one of Asheville's most scenic drives.

Summary: Privacy, views, trees, peaceful, quiet, breath taking natural landscape, large home sites, great designs, hiking trails and pavilion, quality crafted interior and exterior homes, nature, wildlife, great north Asheville location, biking.
Intended land use - After going over the buyers housing specifications, needs and budget, the next key is to find out what kind of home site the buyer would like to have their Asheville luxury home on: Are you looking for a standard size home site? What size of parcel would accommodate your home and your needs/lifestyle? Or are you looking for a tract of land, farm or equestrian estate? Depending on what you are going to do with and/or on the land you will also need to consider the topography of the land.
Proximity to town/city amenities - Need to determine the proximity the buyer would like to be from activities, work, friends, downtown Asheville, schools, airports, health care, shopping, restaurants etc...
Amenities within a development - What amenities, if any are important to have within the development: golf course, wellness center, hiking, jogging, biking, pool, tennis, club house, restaurant, lake, river, park etc...
Finding the perfect area - Based on the clients needs, proximity to areas and amenities preferred within or outside a development, we will start discussing and targeting areas that have these particular amenities and client interests. We are now all on the same page and have an understanding of what we are looking for and it’s time to start picking areas to view.
Now it’s time to find that home! - Going over the above while in the office was time well spent! By taking the right step it eliminates confusion, frustration and what could have been an exhausting and frustrating search. Even if the client changes some of the search criteria along the way you still have a good idea of what they are looking for and you will easily adapt. We are now all happy, we know which direction we are heading and we are now off to a fun and exciting journey to view some neighborhoods and ultimately find the client their Asheville NC luxury dream home, whether it be vacation home or primary residence.
Asheville NC luxury home inventory - Beverly-Hanks has access to an outstanding inventory of Asheville NC luxury homes for sale.
