Life happens, therefore real estate happens. This fundamental truth drives today's housing market in Western North Carolina, even as higher interest rates dominate headlines.

The George Real Estate Group delves into why homeowners are increasingly willing to give up their coveted 3% mortgages. According to recent data, 79% of sellers are moving out of necessity, with most motivations being non-financial. Whether it's seeking a different community (46%), needing more space (34%), or downsizing (25%), these life transitions aren't waiting for interest rates to drop.

Henderson County's market demonstrates this resilience with 44 new listings, 39 contracts, and 27 closings in just the past week. The average single-family home price hovers around $530,000, with approximately a four-and-a-half-month supply of inventory—signs of a stabilizing but still active market.

For homeowners weighing their options, we explore significant tax advantages often overlooked in the rate discussion. Primary residence owners can exempt up to $250,000 of profit ($500,000 for married couples) from capital gains taxes when selling, a benefit partially explaining why 30% of local purchases remain cash transactions despite higher rates.

We also share the remarkable story of Fred Smith, the FedEx founder who recently passed away at 80. When his fledgling company was down to its last $5,000, Smith famously took that money to Las Vegas, turned it into $27,000 at the blackjack table, and kept his business afloat just long enough to revolutionize global shipping. His legacy reminds us that sometimes the boldest decisions make all the difference.

Beyond traditional buying and selling, we discuss strategic approaches to real estate wealth preservation through 1031 exchanges and Delaware Statutory Trusts (DSTs). These vehicles allow property owners to defer taxes while transitioning from active management to passive income streams—especially valuable for legacy planning.

Your home should support the life you're living now, not the one you lived years ago. If you've been considering a move for months or even years, ask yourself how much longer you're willing to put your life on hold waiting for perfect market conditions. The answer might surprise you.

Contact us at 828-393-0134 or visit realestatebygregcom to discuss your unique situation without pressure or obligation. After all, it's not about finding the right market—it's about finding what's right for you.

It could be buying or sellingor investing in real estate, and
we also love working withagents in their careers in real
estate.
We've just recently hired anumber of new agents and we're

(02:11):
continuing to grow.
If you know somebody with theirreal estate license or looking
for maybe something different ora change or maybe just a fresh
start, we have a wonderful modelin place with the George Real
Estate Group as a team model.
We are so passionate andenthusiastic about helping our
clients navigate through realestate, navigate through life.

(02:32):
Life happens.
Therefore, real estate happens,the interest rates are the
interest rates, the market's themarket and the real estate
happens and it's more aboutwhat's right for you rather than
the right market.
You know a lot of sellers arechoosing to move, even with

(02:55):
today's rates.
You know it's hard to let go ofthat 3% mortgage rate, and so
that's something we'll chatabout this morning.
But the main reason there's noquestion about it that the main
reason so many homeowners havedelayed their move in recent
years.
But there's a lot to consider.
It's not just the rate, that'severything, and we'll dive into

(03:17):
that conversation.
Like I said, if you're tuningin, for the first time ever, the
Georgia Real Estate Group islocated in Flat Rock, right next
to the Flat Rock Bakery.
Our friends at Hubaloo CampfireGrill, hubba Hubba Barbecue,
the Wrinkled Egg.
Also, I heard Channel 7 did aspot Friday and there was so

(03:38):
many.
We had somebody walk into ourdoor Friday because they saw the
spot on the local TV station,the news station.
They did a local spot there inFlat Rock and I hadn't seen the
spot yet, but they came throughthe area.
We're highlighting the localbusinesses and restaurants and
all the things going on in ourarea.

(03:58):
The other thing that's happeningthis time of year is all the
summer camps and you haveopening day, closing day.
There's over 50 summer camps inthe three counties.
Here the economic impact, notto mention the life impact, I
mean the camps make a differencein kids' lives and can truly.
It takes kids out of theirenvironment.
It gets them off their screens,their devices.

(04:20):
They unplug, they're out innature, they're with their newly
made friends, their campcounselors and all the
activities pushing kids to getoutside their comfort zone,
whether it's maybe doing thatclimbing wall or swimming in the
lake or archery, I mean classicsummer camp and again, grateful
for our summer camps herelocally.

(04:41):
The impact that it has on ourkids Also and again, just a side
note, the economic impact ismassive.
But again, find us onlinerealestatebygregcom.
Stop by our office there inFlat Rock, 2720 Greenville
Highway.
There in Rainbow Row.
You can also call us directlyat 828-393-0134, 828-393-0134.

(05:04):
We'd love to connect and havethe conversation with you there.
Just to give a quick snapshot ofwhat's happening in literally
the last seven days in HendersonCounty.
Just as a snapshot, to give youa snapshot of what's happened
in the last seven days inHenderson County, 44 new
listings, 68 price adjustments.

(05:25):
There's been 39 homes go undercontract and 27 homes closed.
Now the closed homes are on theyou know this is.
We're not a lot of closings,you know happen throughout the
month but it does seem to all.
The majority of them seem tohappen at the end of the month.
So we'll see an uptick there.

(05:46):
But we are averaging over thelast 12 months in Henderson
County 126 single family homes amonth selling.
Year to date this year versusyear to date last year, we have
seen a slight increase in thenumber of homes sold.
The other thing to note is thedays on market is getting longer
.
It is taking a little bitlonger for homes to sell.

(06:07):
I do remember I mean this is my20th year with my broker's
license in North Carolina I doremember when four, five, six
months were normal in thetimeline.
You might think that's shockingto believe, but 120, 150 days
on market.
There were times where that wasnormal and what is normal,

(06:31):
right, I mean.
But again, it's putting intocontext what's happening in the
market.
It could be the ebb and flow,the ups and downs.
There's cycles of the marketand in some cases in the current
cycle that we're in you knowthe inventory that we have we
have about a four and a halfmonth supply.
It would take four and a halfmonths to exhaust our current

(06:53):
inventory at the current rate ofsales and again, not to get
into the weeds too much.
But we continue to see healthydemand.
About 30% of our sales inHenderson County are purchased
with cash and that's even withthese interest rates.
A lot of people have their homepaid off and so when they sell

(07:13):
their home one of the thingsthat they take advantage of is
the capital gains rules withyour primary home.
If you've lived in your hometwo out of a five-year period,
the first $250,000 of profitit's what you paid for it, plus
your expenses, plus the cost ofselling.

(07:34):
But the first $250,000 ofprofit is tax-free.
If you're married it's $500,000.
And you're actually allowed.
You can have two other peopleon the deed that have lived in
the home two out of a five-yearperiod.
You're actually able to have amillion dollars.

(07:57):
Again, that's four people onthe deed that have lived in the
home two out of a five-yearperiod.
That wouldn't have to pay taxeson that.
Another interesting thing ifyou have had to walk through the
loss of a spouse, you actuallyhave two years after their
passing to also utilize the$250,000 tax break that they

(08:22):
would have received within twoyears if you sell the home
within two years after theirdeath as well.
Again, this can be life-changingin regards to setting yourself
up and looking to your futureand taking care of yourself.
In regards to how real estatecan make the difference in your
life in taking care of yourselffinancially.

(08:43):
Also, the legacy you mightleave and want to leave or have
been working so hard on for yourkids and your grandkids.
We work strategically withestate planners and with trusts
and with our attorneys andfinancial advisors.
We're working strategically aswe help our clients think
through what that looks like, aswe help our clients think

(09:04):
through what that looks like andin regards to real estate, we
work with DST Delaware StatutoryTrust Programs through 1031
Exchanges.
There are very just, amazingand simple ways to protect your
legacy in regards to your realestate, in regards to your
thinking ahead with the legacyyou want to leave and thinking

(09:25):
about your heirs and what thatlooks like, and there's so many
nuances with that, but we havethe team that we work with, from
our attorneys to our financialadvisors, our tax advisors, all
of these pieces coming to playand we work hand in hand with
them.
As we navigate with our clientswhat it looks like to plan ahead

(09:47):
and think about your realestate holdings.
And we'd love to have theconversation and love to
advocate, love to helpfacilitate what that looks like.
And we're having theseconversations every single day.
It's not just the personalresidences, the buying and
selling of your personalresidence.
Maybe you're upsizing ordownsizing, finding the right
home for you and your loved ones.
Maybe it's looking ahead evenbigger picture with your.

(10:09):
Maybe you have real estateinvestments and maybe you have
rental properties.
Maybe you're done managing itand taking care of your rental
properties.
You want to have somethingwhere you can park your money,
put it into an investment that'sstill real estate, but you're
going to get that mailbox moneyand again, these are things to
consider.
We're having conversations at ahigh level with our clients

(10:31):
about all of the things.
It's not just the onetransaction, the buying or
selling.
It's the bigger picture, evenwhen we work with our first
clients that are buying theirfirst home, first-time
homebuyers, and what that pathto long-term financial freedom
looks like, and everybody that'sowned a home remembers that

(10:52):
first home that they purchasedand the stories you hear of some
of our clients that have owned10 plus homes over their
lifetime and they fondlyremember again, a lot of times
it's stretching to get into thathome that they were looking to
get into and make that firststep into home ownership.

(11:12):
It's a powerful thing and againit can change life for you and
your financial picture.
Again, owning versus renting.
Again, there's so many reasonswhy people are buying or selling
.
But if you're curious about yoursituation, the nuances of your
personal home or investment home, or your situation, your unique
situation, let us sit down.

(11:32):

market.
A lot of times we'll haveguests, sometimes we'll just
have a conversation about what'sgoing on in the market.
Our average single-family homeprice over the last 12 months in
the 530s.
Like I said, some 500 homesavailable.

(12:15):
We have a four-and-a-half-monthsupply and that's again.
People have this.
You know you got to be carefulwith the news, of course, with
everything going on.
But in regards to real estate,you know there's perception the
sky is falling and that's nottrue.
The market's moving.
Is it softening?

(12:35):
Yes, is it still moving?
Yes, is there.
You know, your home, yoursituation, whatever it might be,
we'd love to have theconversation about it.
Find us online atrealestatebygregcom.
Call us at 828-393-0134.
When we come back from the break, I do want to dive into that
conversation about why moresellers are choosing to move,

(12:57):
even with today's rates.
Again, you think, why arepeople getting rid of that 3%
interest rate?
But it's not the only reason.
Some things to consider.
We'll talk about that.
And also a fun story I'll shareabout a gentleman that actually
had a huge impact on our world.
That had a huge impact on ourworld and I was looking into the

(13:22):
story of Fred Smith, thefounder of FedEx.
He actually passed away thisweek at the age of 80.
And there's some things you mayor may not know about Fred
Smith and FedEx, and I have somefun stories to share about what
he did in starting and runningFedEx and just some interesting
life lessons.
I think we can learn from FredSmith.

828-393-0134.
We'd love to connect with youand have the conversation.
You know this.

(15:39):
Recently I saw the news.
You know people.
You may know some people leavebehind more of a legacy than
they leave behind a story sobold it inspires generations.
Fred Smith, the founder ofFedEx, passed away this week at
the age of 80.
He was a Marine Corps veteran,a Yale graduate and the man who

(16:04):
changed the way the world moves.
Now you might recognize FedExlogo on trucks and planes every
day, but what you may not knowis where it all started.
With a paper he wrote incollege, fred had this radical
idea create a central hub whereall packages would fly in and

(16:25):
out of allowing for overnightdelivery, a hub and spokes model
like a bicycle wheel.
His professor wasn't impressedand gave it an average grade.
But Fred, he didn't quit.
In 1973, with a handful ofplanes and a lot of guts, he

(16:46):
launched Federal Express out ofMemphis, tennessee, and for a
moment it looked like the worldwasn't ready.
Just weeks in, fedex was inserious trouble.
The company was nearly out ofcash.
They had $5,000 left in thebank, barely enough to keep the

(17:07):
planes in the air for anotherweek.
Most people would have packedit up and packed it in.
But Fred?
Well, fred flew to Las Vegas.
Yes, that Vegas.
He sat down at a blackjacktable and, with the future of
his company riding on every card, he played everything.

(17:30):
When he walked away from thetable, he turned that last
$5,000 into $27,000, enough tokeep FedEx going just a little
longer.
And that little longer was allit took.
He bought time, raised morefunding and the company took off
, literally and figuratively.

(17:51):
Today FedEx operates in morethan 220 countries and
territories, moving millions ofpackages every day.
That one gamble didn't just savea business.
It actually sparked arevolution in how we connect
across the globe.
But Fred wasn't just a businesspioneer.
He was a quiet giver, a man whodonated generously to the

(18:13):
Marine Corps ScholarshipFoundation, the University of
Memphis and his old school, yale.
He didn't talk about it much,but he gave back in big ways.
You know, fred Smith reminds usthat sometimes life comes down
to one moment, one bold decision, where you bet on your vision,
your grit, your belief that whatyou're building matters.

(18:36):
Now look, I'm not saying youshould go to Vegas and put your
last dollar on the blackjackhand, but I am saying maybe you
should believe in your idea,like Fred did.
Maybe you should bet onyourself.
So rest in peace, fred Smith.
Thank you for showing us whatbelief, bravery and a little bit
of blackjack can do.
Again, just what a story Ithought I'd share with you about

(19:00):
Fred Smith.
And so when we see I mean youthink about it the grit, the
story, all of that that heendured, certainly failures that
they've experienced, but againthey stuck through it.
Again, what a story I cameacross that I was like I got to
share the story.
Back to what I was sharing atthe beginning of the segment.

(19:22):
Why are more sellers choosing tomove, even with today's rates?
So there's something toconsider.
While your low rate might beideal, it doesn't make up being
too cramped having a staircaseyour knees can't handle anymore,
or being a thousand miles fromyour grandchildren or family.
And these are some real lifeneeds that are pushing more

(19:45):
sellers off the fence, despitetoday's rates.
And so data shows that theshare of homeowners with a
mortgage rate below 3% isdropping as more people move.
As a result, the share ofhomeowners taking on a mortgage
rate above 6% is rising too.
The biggest reason people aremoving right now why are

(20:10):
homeowners willing to take on ahigher rate?
A survey from realtorcom shedsome light on that.
It showed 79% of homeownersconsidered selling today are
doing it out of necessity.
And then the same survey showsthat most of the reasons
necessary reasons people aremoving are non-financial in

(20:32):
nature.
Most motivators for peoplemoving today are non-financial.
Number one moving today arenon-financial.
Number one 45, 46 percent saidlooking for a different
community.
36 actually said to make aprofit.
I mean the amount of equitythat homeowners have in their
home.
Again, we've had significantappreciation.

(20:52):
Number three 34 percent saidthey need more space.
25 percent said they needed todownsize.
21% said potential buyers haveshown a lot of interest for my
home.
21% said I need to move for myfamily.
18% said it was a life event.
And then 15% said I need tomove for work.

(21:17):
So what are the reasons?
And maybe some of these reasonsresonate for you.
It could be you need more space.
Maybe it's a new baby, childrenneeding their own rooms, or
maybe even having your parentsmove in so it's easier to take
care of them, or you've outgrownwhat you currently have.
You can outgrow your space andit can happen so quickly.

(21:38):
Maybe you need less space.
Kids are out of the house now.
You're craving a life that's alittle simpler.
Maybe you want to travel more.
Downsizing can be a major reliefFewer rooms to clean, less to
maintain and lower utility billstoo.
Another reason you want to becloser to family.

(22:03):
It could be maybe you want tohelp with the grandchildren or
just be around the grandchildren.
Maybe you need to care foraging parents.
Again, sometimes the pool ofbeing near a loved one outweighs
the math.
And then a relationship in yourlife has changed.
Life happens divorce,separation, it could be moving

(22:25):
in together after a marriage ora new partnership.
All these can create a need fora fresh start and a new place
to call home.
And then, finally, maybe it'syour job If you finally landed
your dream job or your partner'scompany is relocating, you
might need to move.
Yes, yes, the experts expectmortgage rates to ease, but

(22:47):
slowly.
You know they're only expectinga modest decline this year, not
the 3%.
We're not going to see thatanytime soon.
So while waiting for a big dropa big drop in rates it might
sound strategic.
It could also mean more timefeeling stuck in a place that no

(23:08):
longer fits, and for a lot ofpeople, the waiting game has
already gone long enough.
According to Realtorcom, nearlytwo in three potential sellers
have been thinking about movingfor over a year, and if you're
one of them, maybe it's time toask how much longer are you
willing to press pause on yourlife?

(23:32):
Maybe your current house fitsyour life five years ago, but
for now, your house you boughtin 2022, it just can't deliver
what you need in 2025.
And so that's not just okay.
It's normal.
Mortgage rates are just part ofthe equation, for sure, but
it's not everything.
What kind of home do you needto support the life you're
living in?

(23:52):
And we'd love to have theconversation.
There's no pressure, there's nocost, there's no obligation to
talk about what life looks likecurrently for you and where you
want to go and what your currenthome versus what your future
home can serve and how it canserve you.
We meet every day with buyersand sellers.
I mean, do you sell before youbuy?

(24:14):
Do you buy before you sell?
And we can talk about what astrategic plan we can put in
place.
And yes, homes are stillselling, the market is still
moving.
It is right when it's right foryou.
It's not about the interestrates, it's not about the
economy.
You know the housing market'sthe housing market.
Life happens.

(24:34):
Therefore, real estate happens,and we'd love to have that
conversation.
Life's too short not to make amove and do what's right for you
and your family.
We're meeting every single daywith clients and again, and we
have a wonderful team, from ourlenders to our appraisers, our
home inspectors, our entire team, our staff, our agents.

Thinking about estate planningfor your real estate Without a

(27:04):
smart approach, the property youleave behind could become an
unwelcome planning for your realestate.
Without a smart approach, theproperty you leave behind could
become an unwelcome burden foryour kids.
Many children simply don't wantto co-manage an inherited house
or deal with the tenants.
Fortunately, you can preventthat with the right plan.
The George Real Estate Groupspecializes in tax-efficient
strategies like 1031 exchangesand Delaware Statutory Trust to

(27:26):
simplify inheritance and incomeplanning.
A 1031 exchange can defer yourcapital gain taxes now and help
your kids avoid a big tax billlater.
