Modern Homes in Sylva: Market Data

Data as of (MLS snapshot; listings below update live)

As of October 20, 2026, Jon Tharp Homes' review of MLS data shows 33 active listings for Sylva modern homes, and the median listing had been on the market 127 days. These listings made up about 9% of the 373 active listings in Sylva, across every property type. In addition, 5 listings were under contract, and 18 sold over the past six months, roughly 3 a month. That works out to about 11.0 months of supply, a level generally read as a buyer's market. The median asking price was $559,900, about $298 per square foot, for a median of 1,939 square feet. That price was $234,900 above the $325,000 median for all active listings in Sylva, across every property type. The middle half of the listings fell between $365,000 and $1,500,000. Listings were most concentrated in Balsam Mountain Preserve. If you're buying, a 127-day median on the market usually means there is some room to negotiate. If you're selling, expect more competition from other listings.
