The Demand For Charlotte Real Estate: Boom or Bust?

Many home owners across the nation are nervous about purchasing a new Charlotte Home. They are paranoid that Charlotte Real Estate will follow the rest of the nation and values will fall. There are many very simple economic facts that determine Real Estate Value and Real Estate demand. After the hurricanes hit Florida, the Florida Real Estate market began to fall. Florida had sound economics; baby boomers were just beginning to retire, taxes were reasonable and the north east retirees were buying. After the Hurricanes, taxes, Home Owners Association dues and insurance more than doubled. This has crippled the Florida Home Values and this will not recover. The government (taxes), the HOA and Insurance Companies lost big as a result of the Hurricanes. Can any business afford to set themselves up for a loss like that again? If they do, they will be out of business. Invest your money in Charlotte Real Estate.

The baby boomers are now seeking Charlotte Real Estate from the Northeast, Florida and out west. The areas around the nation loosing population will continue losing home values and Charlotte NC Real Estate will continue to flourish. The best time to purchase a Charlotte Homes is now before the appreciation picks back up. Will the Charlotte demand continue? Hmmm? Will the northeast still have winter? Will Florida still get blazing hot and humid summers? That should answer the question.

Charlotte Real Estate Market

Charlotte Real Estate: Is now the time to buy? Many people are still wondering if they should relocate with Charlotte Real Estate and if they can get a good deal on Charlotte Homes. Real Estate prices are based on demand. Houses in Charlotte still have strong demand and Charlotte Real Estate continue to sell. The market has slowed since the "high risk" loans began going into default. Can you purchase some Charlotte Homes for less than they sold 2 years ago? The answer is yes if you buy in an area of weak demand. The problem with your Charlotte home purchase will be that the Charlotte Real Estate in this neighborhood has weak demand for a reason. The media then accelerated the Real Estate crisis by blowing it out of proportion. This has hurt the entire nation since it has made secure home buyers nervous.

A wise investor purchases a home in a secure area, with stable Real Estate factors and positive "known" factors that dictate the likely appreciation of your new Charlotte Real Estate. How are the schools? How are the schools trending? Is this a trend you desire? How about local construction? What local construction aids your Charlotte home value and what harms your Charlotte Real Estate Investment? As your Charlotte Re/Max Agent, I look out for you and your family.

Homes in Charlotte Suburbs

What are Charlotte suburbs and how do they compare. There is a lot of misinformation about Charlotte Real Estate and the true Charlotte suburbs. First you must realize that all of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County attends the same schools. There are no suburb schools in Mecklenburg County. This includes Cornelius, Davidson, Huntersville, Matthews, Pineville and Mint Hill; they all attend the CMS (Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools). The schools system does vary around the city but CMS has done a good job at balancing/districting the schools to add balance.

Many consider suburbs to be the schools outside of CMS control. There are many surrounding counties that provide a wide array of options. Union County is to the South and Southeast of Charlotte and Union County Schools have a very good academic record. Visit Weddington Real Estate, Marvin Real Estate, Wesley Chapel Real Estate and Waxhaw Real Estate to gain a better understanding of Union County Homes.

Cabarrus County is to the North/Northeast of Charlotte Real Estate and some of the homes are in Concord Real Estate, Harrisburg Real Estate and Kannapolis Real Estate.

The South/Southwest of Charlotte is South Carolina with Lancaster County Homes for Sale and York County. Visit Fort Mill Real Estate, Tega Cay Real Estate and Indianland to get a feel for South Carolina Real Estate.

These are just a few options and I hope this helps. For additional information visit:
