Real Estate Recap February 2026

For February 2026, the same trends from January are still continuing.

We had 79 new listings for Haywood County in February, compared to 91 new listings in February 2025.

Pending Sales in February were up 7.1% over February 2025.

Closed Sales in February were up 11,9% over February 2025.

The Median Sales Price in February was $378,000 up 18.1% from February 2025.

The Average Sales Price in February was $428,696 up 12.1% from February 2025.

The Days from List to Close rose 4.8% from 124 in February 2025 to 130 this February.

The Average List Price of homes coming on the market rose 2.1% from $486,154 in February 2025 to $496,528 this February.

Our Month’s Supply of Inventory stayed the same as February 2025 at 4.0 month’s supply.  (The month’s supply of inventory is how many months it would take to sell all the inventory if no more listings came of the market, and sales remained constant.)

Last fall in September we had a 6.2 month’s supply of inventory.  A balanced inventory is about 5 to 5.5 months.  At 6.2, we were moving into a buyer’s market.  Since then, our month’s supply has steadily come down to 4.0 months, meaning we are back into a seller’s market.

I read articles referencing national statistics that describe how the real estate market is slowing.  However, here in Western North Carolina, that is not the case.  Remember, all real estate is LOCAL!  National trends mean nothing if they are not occurring locally.
