Here’s a list of the top 10 property transactions by dollar figure in Buncombe County for 2016, as of Nov. 16. It was compiled by my friend and loyal reader Jess at Covestar Investment Realty Advisors. Jess painstakingly researched public records through the Buncombe County Tax Office to put this list together and add some interesting context.

The top three transactions all involved apartment complexes, which is interesting considering the apartment building boom we’ve had happening over the past few years in town. Several other of the biggest land transactions happened with property on Airport Road and/or Long Shoals Road, two major commercial corridors where lots of that apartment complex construction is happening.
