Brevard/Transylvania County Market Analysis

The Brevard and Transylvania County housing market stabilized in the 3rd quarter of 2026, with conditions remaining generally balanced between buyers and sellers in the market overall, but with variations between price ranges..

Inventory Levels: Inventory is the best predictor of market direction. A balanced market is typically defined as having six months of inventory—meaning it would take six months to sell all available homes at the previous year’s sales pace. Less than six months indicates a seller’s market, while more than six months signals a buyer’s market. Rising inventory indicates movement toward a buyer’s market, while declining inventory signals a shift toward a seller’s market. Comparing the 3rd quarters of 2025 and 2026, inventory levels fluctuated between price ranges, increasing in some price ranges and decreasing in others. Some lower- and mid-priced segments remained below six months of inventory, most categories were near 6 months, and some higher-priced segments exceeded six months.
