Lake Norman Real Estate Market Report | November 2026

The Lake Norman real estate market changed character this fall, and October’s numbers show exactly how. Homes are taking longer to sell, sellers are keeping less of their first asking price, and buyers have more choices than they’ve had in years. If you own a home around the lake and you’re weighing a listing before the holidays against one in spring, those numbers matter more than the calendar does.

Ashe adopts values for 2027 property reappraisal

JEFFERSON — The Ashe County Board of Commissioners adopted the 2027 scheduled values on Nov. 2 for the county’s upcoming reappraisal. Ashe County is one of 37 counties statewide, including Watauga, Avery, and Alleghany, that will conduct reappraisals in 2027. Property tax revenues are Ashe County’s primary funding source. Ashe County Tax Administrator Chris Lambert expects the county’s tax base to increase by 28.3%. A schedule of values is an official county manual containing standardized pricing tables, building costs, and land rates used to calculate fair market property values during a revaluation, according to wake.gov . County governments must adopt a schedule of values before upcoming property revaluations. North Carolina requires tax assessors to appraise all real property uniformly at 100% of market value as of Jan. 2027, Lambert said. Lambert previously told the commissioners that his office’s 451-page schedule of values manual contains appraisal overviews, location codes, property and residential information, manufactured home data and rates, property classification charts, commercial information, present use value, and neighborhood pricing guides. His office will use the manual to reevaluate local property values for the next four years. Although state law requires county tax offices to reevaluate property every eight years, Ashe County

City land sales boosting housing market

Along with adding some extra jingle to the city coffers, recent sales of surplus municipal land are helping to provide more housing in a tight market locally. “When we sold these properties, the intent was to build houses on them,” City Manager Darren Lewis said last Thursday night when the latest transaction was approved by the Mount Airy Board of Commissioners. That involved a site of about one-half acre on Carolina Avenue. It is one of 11 different parcels declared surplus property by city officials last year and put on the auction block, some of which are outside the city limits Included were lots on North Franklin Road, East Wilson Street, North Main Street, Fancy Gap Road, Lakeview Drive (three parcels), Carolina Avenue (three parcels) and Lyn Avenue. Only the property on Lyn Avenue remains unsold from that list, which is located in the Westwood area near North Franklin Road. Lewis said after Thursday night’s meeting that plans for “10-plus” houses have resulted from the sales of surplus property, meaning officials saw no future use for it by the municipality. To market the land, Mount Airy has been using GovDeals, an online marketplace geared toward government, educational and related entities
