SCOTT’S MARKET PERSPECTIVE

“BUYERS HERE ARE CHOOSING THE VIEW AND THE LIFESTYLE AS MUCH AS THE HOME.”

BLACK MOUNTAIN currently has 67 active residential listings. The median asking price is $999,000, with a median of 80 days on market. 14 new listings entered the market in the past 30 days. 5 current listings have had a price cut in the past 14 days, 7% of active inventory.

Up here, the micro-location does a lot of the work. Where a home sits on the hill, which way it faces, the outdoor space, and how new the build is can all shift the price from one street to the next, so that is where pricing has to start.
