Native American tribes settled in this region over 6,000 years ago and in the early 1700's, Ulster Scots and German settlers were drawn to McDowell County by the fertile Catawba River basin. McDowell County was the western outpost of civilization in America until the Revolutionary War.
The 220 mile long Catawba River, named after the Native American tribes that first settled on the banks, is a tributary of the Wateree River in the states of North Carolina and South Carolina. The Catawba River divides the county flowing east to west with beginnings just outside Old Fort at Catawba Falls.
McDowell county lands include the Pisgah National Forest, which covers 67,000 acres, the Overmountain Victory National Historic Trail and the Blue Ridge Parkway, which forms 30 miles of the county's northern border, Catawba Falls and the Linville Gorge Wilderness Area.
The vast 446 square mile countryside of McDowell County includes Marion, Old Fort, Little Switzerland, Linville Falls and Lake James. The population of McDowell County was 44,961 in 2013. Elevations here top out at 4,000 feet above sea level opening up to views of the green valley floors below.

The scatter diagram plots price (along the horizontal axis) and square footage (along the vertical axis), the pattern of the resulting points reveals any correlation present between the price and the size of the home. When enough correctly selected closed sales are present a linear regression can be calculated providing insight for properly pricing a property. This graph is only useful when similar properties are considered. For assistance identifying similar properties and determining if a correlation does exist, please contact your agent or customer service.
This line graph monitors the average amount of time it takes to market and close on a property. This is useful for monitoring whether a market is accelerating or decelerating. Since it is calculated from closed properties it is useful as a trailing indicator. For assistance predicting the future direction of the market based on active properties, please contact your agent or customer service.
Examining the number of homes sold per month can be an effective way to gauge the sales pace for a particular market. When sales pace is considered alongside days on market the two metrics can prove very effective for revealing future market conditions.
In neighborhoods where properties closely resemble one another, tracking price per square foot over time can provide some basic pricing insight. It’s important to only use this graph in neighborhoods with properties of similar age, condition, and size. For help determining if price per square foot is appropriate, please contact your agent or customer service for more assistance.
This pie chart considers the distribution of sales across all of the price brackets during a specific time period and area. The chart is useful for quickly analyzing which price categories are most commonly sold and when multiple pie charts are considered for spotting consumer preferences across different geographies.
