George Real Estate Group Radio Broadcast

The housing market headlines can sound like a constant alarm: high interest rates, stretched budgets, and a “why would anyone move?” narrative. We slow that down and talk like real people who do this every day in Western North Carolina. Real estate still happens because life still happens, and the smartest decisions come from context, not noise. We also put mortgage rates in perspective by comparing today’s enviro...

The real estate headlines can’t agree, but your local market still has to make sense for your life. We zoom in on the one metric that explains most of the noise: inventory. When buyers have more options, sellers compete. When inventory stays tight, prices hold up even when interest rates and the broader economy feel uncertain. That local lens matters in Western North Carolina, where neighborhood, county, and price point can c...

Ten years on the radio doesn’t happen by accident, it happens when a show becomes part of the community’s weekly rhythm. We’re celebrating a decade of the George Real Estate Group on WHKP, and we’re pairing that milestone with what we love most: putting real people and real service in the spotlight through the Hometown Hero Award.

First, we share a clear-eyed Henderson County real estate market update...

Interest rates get the headlines, but real people still have to make real moves. We start with a clear snapshot of the Henderson County real estate market and what we’re seeing on the ground across Western North Carolina and Upstate South Carolina: demand continues, inventory stays tight, and prices are holding better than many would expect. If you’re buying, selling, investing, or weighing a 1031 exchange, the bigger p...

The housing market story you hear on the national news can be wildly misleading when you’re trying to buy or sell a home in Western North Carolina. We zoom in on Henderson County real estate with a clear snapshot of sales pace, inventory, and what “months of supply” actually means for negotiating power. The big point: the market is softening in some areas and price points, but that doesn’t automatically tran...

A storm hits, the roads go dark and blocked, and suddenly the people with chainsaws and nerve become the difference between being stuck and getting through. We sit down with Dale Epperson of Epperson’s Tree Service, our WHKP Hometown Hero honoree, to hear how he and a small crew started cutting and pushing trees off the roadway near Saluda, with a growing line of neighbors following behind them, hoping there really was a way ...

A packed sports calendar turns into a surprisingly honest conversation about character, responsibility, and what we do when the spotlight moves on. We start with the energy of the World Cup and the way big events pull people together across cultures, even when the world feels divided. Along the way, we reflect on why sports stories stick with us: they compress pressure, hope, heartbreak, and resilience into moments that feel a lot ...

A real community tradition doesn’t start with a committee. It starts with a sidewalk, a few kids with chalk, and one adult willing to say “yes” and then do the hard work of making it safe, fair, and welcoming.

We open with a practical real estate market update for Henderson County and the greater Western North Carolina area. Home sales are still happening, prices are holding relatively steady, and inventory...

A flood can erase a building in hours, but it can’t erase a community that refuses to quit. We sit down with Maureen Graham to hear the story behind Hendersonville’s Medical Loan Closet on Seventh Avenue, a place that feels like a lending library for durable medical equipment. When you suddenly need a walker, knee scooter, wheelchair, shower chair, or even a hospital bed, the price tag and the scramble can hit at the sa...

The market can be “doom and gloom” on the news while your neighborhood stays busy, so we open with real numbers from Henderson County: roughly 135 single-family homes selling each month, prices holding steady, and days on market stretching out. That combination changes strategy, not opportunity, and we share how we think about timing decisions like selling before buying, buying before selling, and what to watch if you a...

The real story of a local market is never the national headline. If you live in Hendersonville, Flat Rock, or anywhere in Western North Carolina, you’ve probably heard somebody say real estate is “dead” or “the sky is falling.” We pull the conversation back to the ground with current Henderson County real estate numbers and what they mean for real people making real moves, from downsizing to investing ...

A foster placement can happen with one phone call, sometimes in the middle of the night, and the child showing up may have nothing but the clothes they are wearing. That reality is why we chose to honor Tara Knox and Patchworks as our Hometown Hero. Tara shares how Patchworks Foster Care Ministry started in Henderson County after she and her husband spent years fostering, and how it grew into a community lifeline for families who n...

Mortgage headlines can make it feel like you’re supposed to freeze and wait, but the local story in Henderson County is more nuanced and more hopeful. We share what we’re seeing across Hendersonville and Western North Carolina: the market is still moving, sales activity locally has stayed surprisingly resilient, and prices in many areas are holding. Real estate is intensely local, so we talk about why neighborhood, pric...

The market is not “broken,” it’s just different and the local data proves it. We kick off June with a clear-eyed real estate update for Hendersonville, Flat Rock, and the wider Henderson County housing market, using real numbers instead of scary headlines. Over the past 12 months, Henderson County sees more than 1,600 single-family homes sold, a modest rise year over year, and an average price hovering around the ...

A strong community rarely looks flashy up close. Most of the time, it looks like someone showing up early, moving rocks out of stubborn ground, and planting anyway. We start with a clear-eyed Western North Carolina real estate update for Henderson County and the Hendersonville area: the market is still moving, prices are holding, and demand is up compared to the prior year, but days on market are longer, so strategy and patience ma...

Memorial Day can blur into a long weekend until you stop and remember what it’s really for: honoring the men and women who served and did not come home. We take a few minutes to slow down, speak a name, and tell a story that’s close to our community in Flat Rock and Henderson County: PFC James Fleet McClamrock. His life, faith, and sacrifice remind us that freedom is never free and that gratitude is meant to be specific...

Your home never picks a convenient time to lose air conditioning or heat, and that’s why this Hometown Hero conversation hits close to home. We’re celebrating Champion Comfort Experts of Flat Rock as a community-minded business that not only sponsors local events like the Henderson County Schools retirement dinner, but also helps Western North Carolina homeowners stay safe and comfortable when the weather turns.

...

The market feels different when homes stop selling in a weekend, but different doesn’t mean broken. We walk through what we’re seeing right now across Hendersonville and the wider Western North Carolina real estate market, using real numbers to add context. Inventory in Henderson County is still tight at under 600 homes for sale, prices are holding with an average single-family home price around $547,000, and the big sh...

Foreclosure headlines can make any homeowner feel a jolt of panic, especially if you remember 2008. We slow everything down and look at the facts behind the fear, then bring it home to what’s actually happening in the Henderson County real estate market and across Western North Carolina.

We share the numbers we’re watching right now: active single-family inventory, pending homes, months of supply, and why days on...
