Things to do in Brevard NC- June

Keith LockhartWhether you live here year round, or just visit for a few weeks in the summer, western North Carolina is a great place for outdoor activities. It's a mecca for campers, fly fishing, river rafting and more.

But if you are in the Brevard, North Carolina area this summer, and looking for another way to spend your time, the annual Brevard Music Festival is a must! Since 1947 students from around the world have come to Brevard to study and craft their skills at this summer music institute. The result is a 7 week festival with over 80 performances including guest conductor and artist appearances. Past guest appearances include cellist Yo-Yo Ma, violinists Joshua Bell and Midori, pianists André Watts and Emanuel Ax, soprano Renée Fleming and mezzo-soprano Frederica von Stade.

The festival kicks off the 2009 season on Friday, June 26 with a night of light classics and pops conducted by Steven Smith along with guest performances by Standford Olsen, tenor. The festival continues until August 9. Performances are held in several venues and many are free!

For a complete schedule and ticket information, visit the Brevard Music Center, or call (828) 862-2100

Brevard NC Homes for Sale - Market Update

When spring comes to the mountains of western North Carolina, it brings with it an increase in real estate activity. This "season" will stay with us80 Colton's Way until the end of November. So far this year, that activity has not been as great as it was the year before, or certainly 2 years ago, but it has held steady so for in terms of the number of homes being sold. April was a repeat of March with 12 sales and that is down from this same time last year when there were 21 residential closings. The majority of sales continue to be in the $100K-$300K price range.

The average selling price in April was $229,840, down from $269,208 in March. The median price, however, was up slightly from $182,500 in March to $190,000. As I've mentioned in previous market updates, it's important to remember that Lake Toxaway is in our MLS system and one sale of a million dollar home in that area can greatly affect the overall averages.

The average days on market rose in April to 278 days, an increase of 47 days.
