is AVL outskirts oversaturated with STR's?

[Bryan H.]

Hello,

I'm interested in "boots on the ground" sense of market conditions in AVL outskirts - Black Mountain, Swannanoa, Mars Hill, etc...for STR investment. From afar, I can seed there's been huge growth recently. Is it starting to feel oversaturated or soon to be oversaturated? It's a 9 hour drive for me, so hoping to hear some local insight prior to making the trip. Also would love to connect with local contractor as I generally like to build from scratch. Thank you in advance for any local insights on all of the above!
