Well, Spring is here, and things are popping up all around the area. Folks are enjoying the weather and the landscapes that our area has to offer. Of course, right now, while the leaves are still waiting to pop is a great time to view land because you can really see the contours of different properties. But did you know that you can also take a canopy tour while you are in town?
Adventure America Canopy Tours is building a high-flying zip line this spring on its property. Yet to be officially named, the zip line would be the first within the city limits, according to those in the industry.
“This is good for our guests and good for the whole community,” said Angela Beattie, spokeswoman for Crowne Plaza, adding that the zip line would be open to the public.
“It is just another thing to draw people here to Asheville, and for visitors who are only staying one or two nights in town, it’s something close by Asheville they can take advantage of.” -according to Asheville Citizen Times
Also, just north of Asheville, in the wonderful town of Barnardsville there is another canopy tour you can do right now on a lovely piece of property. Navitat is ready to take you on one awesome ride in the woods!! Check out this link to learn more: Navitat
Nationwide, residential home sales declined by 9.6% from the same month last year. Locally, our year-to-year sales were up by almost 1 percent, so it is still a challenging time to sell property and a great time to buy property. If you are selling your home, you really need an expert to help you price you home correctly to be successful in THIS market!
February new home sales fell nationally by a record 16.7% reflecting the relative pricing attractiveness of existing homes. This will likely continue to be a national problem for new home builders until excess inventory and lower residential prices moderate.
However, our local market continues to outperform national real estate averages.
Let us know how we can help.
Thanks,
