Charlotte Real Estate Market Activity

The Charlotte Real Estate market is improving based on sales in 2010. The data in this blog is from August 1 though Sept 22nd. I wanted over a month of data and wanted information that is timely (today is September 22nd). The Charlotte Real Estate homes sold last year (2010) during the same time period has increased 22%.

August 1- September 22 2010
Foreclosure Sales: 26% of all sales
Short Sales: 4.7% of all sales
New Homes: 14% of all sales

August 1 - September 22 2011
Foreclosures: 17% of all sales
Short Sales: 5.5% of all sales
New Homes: 14% of all sales

The trends have improved over the past year in Charlotte Real Estate. Short Sales have increased slightly (in comparison to the Charlotte Foreclosures) but this is also because lenders are improving their short sale process and it is becoming more efficient.

Overall, this is very positive news for the greater Charlotte Real Estate market! everyone wants to purchase a home "at the bottom". Unfortunately, by the time you discover where the bottom "was" you missed it! Mortgage Interest rates are at historical low and Charlotte Homes are prices aggressively. It is time to buy!
