Charlotte Real Estate with Equity

Charlotte North Carolina Real Estate market continues to flourish but there are many Charlotte New Homes that are on the market. How or why? As the poor credit/high risk buyers lost their ability to get a loan, many new homes were already being built for these people. The builders finished the homes but now have "inventory homes" to sell. Many are offering huge incentives to get these homes off their books as soon as possible. If you want a deal for a new Charlotte home, talk to me. You will not believe the deals that are out there.

Union County NC Real Estate Update

Today I will spotlight a portion of Union County NC Real Estate growth. Cuthbertson Rd is located east off of Providence Rd (across from Cureton) and south of Newtown Rd.

There are currently 2 new schools built; a middle school and a high school. The most incredible thing about these schools are that Marvin Ridge just opened last year and now a 3rd school will soon be open. Marvin Real Estate residents will have their own schools!  Marvin Ridge helped relieve the congestion at Weddington High School and now the 3rd high school is needed!   Weddington Real Estate will lose some of its great student population to Marvin and remains one of the top schools in NC!  You can tell the popularity of an area based on the number of parents relocating to the area.

The new Cuthbertson Middle and High Schools help further relieve the overflow from Weddington, Marvin and Parkwood Schools.   Cuthbertson is rapidly transforming with subdivisions like Champion Forest and Lawson.  Champion Forest is a four side brick neoghborhood with an ideal community pool. The streets are wide and there are many trees throughout the neighborhood.

The  Lawson community has seven different builders each with its own neighborhood. Lawson is built as a wooded retreat with walking trails, quaint walking bridges and water features. Their amenity center just opened with an elaborate clubhouse, a lap pool, another large pool with a large winding slide, a playground and tennis courts. There will also be custom homes added to this neighborhood in the near future.

How about retail? There is a new Lowes Home Improvement store built at the intersection of Providence and Cuthbertson. There are many great things occuring throughout the greater Waxhaw Real Estate region!

This spotlight is just on one small road. Charlotte Real Estate growth is still in its infancy and has not slowed. Learn more about Charlotte North Carolina Real Estate and feel free to contact me with questions or concerns. I want informed and happy neighbors; let me help.

Charlotte Real Estate Sales

How is the current Charlotte North Carolina Real Estate market? In reality, the media "crisis" is only a mere fraction of the market. What caused this crisis? The media. It was just a short time ago when the media created the outrage of "the evil bankers' keeping down the common man and not allowing enough opportunities fro home ownership. The Government stepped in and convinced the lenders to ignore their statistical data and lend more money. The Government knew these were high risk loans and guaranteed the loans.

As the high risk loans continued to default, the media screamed that the banks were heartless again and created a new "crisis".

First, the banks lend "our" money. When borrowers default, it is our money they are not returning. Banks do not own money; we do.
So how large is the financial "crisis"? It is only a mere fraction of the loans that are at risk but the media has placed the citizens in a paranoid state and many are scared to purchase a home and making the media story a reality!

Opportunity? Of course. Paranoid people make uneducated decisions and the wise man will prosper. It is actually a great time to actually buy a home. The economy is doing well, the Fed lowered interest rates and there are deals to be found. The smart people realize this is a hoax and that is when the common people lose out. The common person follows the media.

Perception is reality and the media creates their version of reality. So if you are ready to take charge of your own reality it is an opportune time to purchase Charlotte North Carolina Real Estate.

Charlotte Real Estate Opportunities

What effect has the sub prime mortgage market had on the Charlotte Real Estate market? It has created a buying opportunity! First you need to consider the sub prime market. The sub prime market was developed to provide "less than perfect" credit loans. In the Charlotte Real Estate market, these buyers were buying a reasonable new home. There are certain builders that focus on the first time home owners. So where are they now? Well, as the sub-prime loans dried up, many of these specific builders now have an abundance of inventory homes available. The builders that are hardest hit are slashing prices to move the inventory. How does this affect the neighborhood?

As a builder offers deeper discounts, the overall values decrease (in the short term). As long as the builders keep the investors from further devaluing their neighborhoods, you can do very well. There is one builder in Charlotte that has over 75 inventory homes located throughout the area. This weekend they are offering a 30 year fixed rate loan at 5.5%! There will be many great deals to be had.

These discounts will go away very soon. The only reason these inventory homes are available is that people initially qualified with a sub prime mortgage. Now the borrowers no longer qualify! There are deals to be made. Visit http://www.FindMyCarolinaHome.com for additional information for Charlotte Real Estate. If you are ready to make a deal, let me know and I will help you select the home of your dreams!

Charlotte Real Estate: The Next Wave of Growth

Where will Charlotte Real Estate be 15 years from now? Where will a good place to have a home? Is Charlotte be a good place to raise a family?

First accept the fact that Charlotte was a small city just 15 short years ago. As more and more people visited, they liked what they saw. Our population has been growing exponentially ever since. Will it continue. Of course! We have a great climate, it is 2.5 hours to the beach and 2.5 hours to the mountains. We are far enough away from the coast to avoid hurricanes and our winters are mild.

As every major city grows, there will be given areas of real estate that are of higher demand. I can help you find those areas.

The counties surrounding Charlotte will also thrive. This occurs all over the nation. Now imagine how far into the outer counties our growth will spread considering our rapid population expansion. Charlotte NC Real Estate is destined to grow. If you are considering Charlotte homes, I will help protect your investment in Charlotte Real Estate.

How is the Charlotte Real Estate Market?

The most frequent question I receive is "How is the Charlotte Real Estate market? Are people still relocating to Charlotte? How is the market.

First, real estate is local. The news will provide sensational stories about how bad the world is doing. That's the news. Most of us know the news is less than credible.

Yes, I am a sales person and there are sales people that will mislead you. So how can you tell for sure.

Ask yourself some questions:

1) Since the hurricanes hit Florida, taxes, home owner dues and insurance skyrocketed. Are any of these additional costs going down? (No). Can the average American afford hundreds of dollars in bills every month? (No). Are additional costs going to make the super inflated Florida market over priced for relocations? (Yes). Are Floridians still trying to unload their homes? (Yes).

2) Is it still cold up north? (Yes). Have Americans decided they now prefer colder weather? (No). Are the baby boomers up north retiring? (Yes). Are they seeking a lower cost of living and warmer weather? (Yes). Is this going to change? (No).

3) Want-to-be investors: Can you steal a home in Charlotte? (N0). The reason you can steal a home is other areas is because too many people are leaving.

Charlotte continues to grow and homes continue to appreciate. Yes, it is more difficult to obtain a sub prime loan (loans for challenged credit or for investors and 100% financing). Yes, there may be rental opportunities in neighborhoods that attract the credit challenged clientele.

The Charlotte market continues to grow and people are relocating from all across the country. They are coming from Seattle, LA, Phoenix, Miami, New York, New Jersey and more. Our economy is thriving and there are new developments beginning on a regular basis.

I hope this information is helpful. I am not here to mislead anyone and that is why I share these basic real estate principles. Let me know how I can further assist. http://www.findmycarolinahome.com/.
