In this episode of the series, Luke talks with Jay about North Carolina’s High Country—Boone, Blowing Rock, and Banner Elk—covering where STRs are allowed (often just outside city limits) and why unique, well-located homes near ski areas or water tend to outperform. Jay highlights late 2025 pricing and roughly seven months of inventory, creating room to negotiate and a compelling window for buyers; they also touch on HVAC quirks and strong current demand.
