The High Country real estate market continued its rebound in August, with sales hitting a three-year high, according to the High Country Association of Realtors.

The association represents Realtors in Avery, Ashe and Watauga counties.

The group reported 133 Realtor-assisted sales last in August, which is the most since 133 were sold in August 2009. The total value was $31.4 million — the second straight month sales have surpassed $30 million.

The High Country hasn’t had back-to-back $30 million months since July and August 2009, according to the High County Multiple Listing Service.

The median price of a home sold was $195,300, which indicates buyers’ market conditions continue, the association said.
