* = "relatively" is the key word. Real estate across the mountains saw a pretty big increase from around 02' through 07' -- many basic homes almost doubled in value and previously cheap land got upgraded to boutique prices -- but -- like everywhere now, it's become a buyer's market, and I've been aware of houses selling for 20+% less than their 07' peak. BUT, it's still a second home market, and patient sellers are holding onto their prices right now, so not every lowball will work. I think maybe that all the Western faculty and staff create a fairly brisk market for the reasonably-priced, typical 3/2 home and that makes them seem more scarce. Still, compared to Asheville, I think the cost of living and even home ownership is a bit lower. You're welcome to give me a call with any specific questions.
