Brevard/Transylvania County Market Analysis

The Brevard and Transylvania County housing market continued shifting toward a balanced market in the first quarter of 2026. Conditions remain generally neutral and not strongly favoring either buyers or sellers.

In Transylvania County, the number of home sales increased from 64 sales in the first quarter of 2025 to 74 sales in the first quarter of 2026. 

Inventory Levels: Inventory levels increased in most price categories between the first quarters of 2025 and 2026. A balanced market is typically defined as having six months of inventory—meaning it would take six months to sell all available homes based on the past year’s pace. Less than six months indicates a seller’s market, while more than six months signals a buyer’s market. In the city of Brevard inventory levels were less than 6 months in most price ranges. In Transylvania County inventory levels were less than 6 months in price ranges at or below $450,000.

Median Home Sales Price: Median home prices decreased during this period in Brevard from $476,000 to $436,000 but increased in Transylvania County from $525,000 to $535,000.

Average Days on Market (DOM): Average Days on Market (DOM) jumped from 55 days in Brevard in 2025 to 98 days in the first quarter of 2026. In Transylvania County, DOM also increased from 89 days to 116 days. This fluctuation largely reflects higher inventory levels, giving buyers more options and reducing urgency compared to prior years. However, rising DOM can also indicate increased market activity, as older listings begin to sell. Trends in the second and third quarters of 2026 will help clarify whether this increase reflects a market shift or a temporary adjustment.
