A market can cool off without falling apart, and our local numbers prove it. We’re celebrating 10 years on WHKP by grounding the conversation in real Henderson County data: more homes sold over the last 12 months than the year before, prices holding steady, and a shift from a frenzy to something that finally feels more normal. We talk about why “the market” isn’t good or bad, it’s personal, and why real estate stays hyper local down to the neighborhood level.

Then we turn the mic to a different kind of local engine: community service. Peter Albini, a leading knight with the Hendersonville Elks Lodge 1616, joins us to share what’s behind their 25th annual Apple Breakfast during the North Carolina Apple Festival. This isn’t just a plate of food. It’s fundraising that helps power their Christmas charities, including two weeks of groceries for 130 families, plus paper goods and support for kids and teens that’s actually practical.

You’ll also get the details you need to show up: Sunday morning from 7:00 a.m. to noon at 546 North Justice Street, with a classic breakfast menu and fresh buttermilk pancakes coming straight off the grill. If you care about Hendersonville real estate, the Henderson County housing market, and the people quietly making this town better, hit subscribe, share this with a neighbor, and leave us a review.
