There are still Good Buys Available in Haywood County

I listened to a segment on the news from WLOS-TV in Asheville.  A one bedroom apartment in Asheville now rents on average for $940.  In my opinion, that is a fairly hefty rent for a one bedroom apartment.  Asheville housing costs are now the highest in North Carolina.  I was looking today at closed listings in West Asheville.  I found small homes built in the 1920’s and the 1930’s selling for around $200 to $250 per square foot.  Some Asheville agents are now bringing their clients to Canton, Clyde and Waynesville to find homes they can afford.  Buyers are finding it less expensive to live 20 to 30 miles away and commute to work than to buy a home in Asheville.

There are still good buys available in Haywood County.  Most homes here in the county are still selling for between $100 and $165 per square foot, with some selling for less than $100 per square foot.  Combine those prices with current interest rates, and that translates into a great value.  One could purchase a pretty nice home here with a 30 year mortgage payment less than a 1 bedroom apartment rental in Asheville.
