Charlotte Real Estate and Charlotte NC Weather
As the north begins feeling the fall chill in the air, Charlotte continues its pleasant weather patterns. Our evenings are getting cool into the upper 40's and our day time highs are pleasant upper 70's and lower 80's. Absolutely delightful. How does that impact Charlotte Real Estate?
The Charlotte NC Real Estate market does not stop in the fall and winter but continues driving forward. The desirability of our climate just increases the passion fro Charlotte Homes. The Charlotte Property market slows in the winter but there are still many people realizing that it is still time to relocate to Charlotte.
What can you expect for our winter? If you anticipate one snow fall and one ice storm a year then you will witness a bad winter. Our snow fall (averages about 2 inches) will typically be melting by 10:00 in the morning. Charlotte Schools will be closed with any snowfall. If you think about this it makes sense. If the school bus drivers only see snow once a year they will not be accustomed to diving in snow. One accident would not be acceptable for our kids so it is better safe than sorry.

Charlotte Builders Continue to Merge
Two national builders merged this past week. Pulte, the owner of Del Webb Senior Communities and Sun City Carolina Lakes south of Charlotte Real Estate, has purchased/merged with Centex. Centex Home Builders was based out of Texas and had large land holdings in both Texas and the Carolinas. This was appealing to Pulte based on the demographic trends and the baby boomers. New Homes nation wide and especially the Charlotte new homes market will flourish with senior homes.
Pulte homes tended to focus more on seniors and I am certain they will continue on this successful business plan as lending rules constrict. As lending rules tighten (or actually just become practical and cost effective) who has equity, credit and money? Seniors! It will be prudent to structure developments to cater to the seniors as they retire and continue to move south for lower taxes, less expensive homes and a warmer climate.
Centex was building new developments and were riding the trend of larger and larger homes. As credit tightened, much of their market could not sell their homes out-of-state and business slowed. Pulte capitalized on this opportunity. Every crisis provides opportunity for those positioned well for the current trends and demands. Pulte Homes is that company.
Visit Charlotte NC Homes for Sale to learn about the great Charlotte Real Estate Opportunities. Yes, our market has slowed due to the national downturn. but it is still the best place to buy a home. People all around the nation have the desire to relocate to Charlotte Real Estate just to not have the financial liquidity to capitalize on the current opportunity. Be assured their plans have not changed; merely placed on a temporary hold. The opportunities of today will be gone very soon. If you are fortunate enough to capitalize on this financial downturn, Charlotte NC Real Estate awaits.

Charlotte Foreclosures-Charlotte Short Sales
Many home buyers in today's Charlotte Real Estate market are looking for a deal. Well a steal would be more like it. As the banking industry deals with the national foreclosures they are also dealing with the homes that was considered collateral.
The sub prime market gave money to many that had no reason to ever own a home. Lending money to a person for a home that already has a history of not paying money back is not a sound business plan. Now we get Charlotte Short Sales and Charlotte Foreclosures.
From a bank's perspective a Short Sale is preferred. A short sale is a home that is already delinquent several months on payments (that is why a bank agrees to a short sale) and is willing to take less than what is owed. The bank also knows that there are more expenses to go through the foreclosure process and frequently the highest cause is the damage done by the person that was not paying the mortgage in the first place.
A Foreclosure home is often beyond just disrepair. I have seen them completely gutted to include the removal of entire kitchens, bathrooms (including all plumbing), HVAC units, furnaces and hot water tanks. I have seen them with the electrical panel removed and all of the House wiring severed.
The difficulty with a Short Sale is the "mortgage company" typically is insured by the Government (since the Government mandated the loans) and the bank is overwhelmed in this department. The Short Sale department represents a loss for the institutions. It is difficult to keep throwing more money after bad loans. The process is further complicated by the 2nd mortgages since the second mortgage holder bears the brunt of the losses.
You must get two "overloaded" departments to agree on a course of action, a fair price and who takes what loss. Are there deals to be had? Yes, but patience is required.
There are Charlotte Short Sales and Charlotte Foreclosures to be had. Keep in mind that the same rules apply to foreclosures as it does to regular homes. The homes for sale in the most desirable Charlotte NC Homes in the highest demand areas will also get the highest price for a Charlotte Foreclosure. The reverse is also true.

Charlotte NC Homes For Sale
What a time to buy! Charlotte NC Homes For Sale are still selling but many Charlotte Homes are selling at prices they were 2 years ago! This is incredible for the Charlotte Real Estate market. Yes, it is true that Charlotte Realty has always been appreciating at a steady pace unlike many other markets that experienced the unrealistic and unsustainable price surge. There are certain areas in Charlotte that you can really save but the Charlotte Homes with the biggest savings accompanies the Charlotte Homes with the largest risks. But that is to be expected (that is why certain homes are not selling and why the sellers are providing deep discounts).
The Charlotte starter home neighborhoods are going through a series of changes. Many of these homes were purchased by Charlotte New Home Buyers that were not economically prepared to own a Charlotte home. In addition to these high risk buyers, many national investors also jumped into these Charlotte neighborhoods. Charlotte Real Estate investors came from across the nation to tap into the popularity of Charlotte Real Estate but had no idea what they were buying, where they were buying and convinced they were going to make money in spite of their lack of knowledge and familiarity of the greater Charlotte market. These investors watch too much TV.
Charlotte real estate investors felt if they purchased Charlotte new homes for the least amount of money, rented the Charlotte new home for 2 years, they could not lose. The builder warranty would take care of the vast majority of landlord duties and then the Charlotte investor would sell before any maintenance would be due. Here is the problem with that theory (what TV did not tell them).
Each investor seen himself alone making this decision. Reality is they were not alone and investors swarmed on Charlotte in mass (a great growing city at a time when financial investors were giving money to anyone with a pulse). Investors then turned these new Charlotte neighborhoods into rental neighborhoods. The Charlotte Investor failed to consider that if someone was renting at a time when anyone could get a loan, the "renter pool" largely consisted of people that did not care about their credit (or paying their bills). This does not make the ideal tenant.
Ultimately the investors lost these homes in addition to many of the sub prime borrowers. As mortgages in these specific neighborhoods went into default, the values declined. Are the homes worth more than they are being sold? Yes and no. Yes it would cost more to build one of these homes than the current market value. The "no" is based upon the actual market. These homes often need a lot of repairs based on a few years of blatant disregard and abuse from the previous owner and/or tenants. So how about future value?
You purchase a discounted home like you would purchase any investment. You purchase the homes with the deepest discounts because the odds are these neighborhoods will turn around and be full of proud home owners. This will take time for the right home owners to purchase these Charlotte Homes and take control of the neighborhoods. They will likely be great long term investments.
If you still plan on investing in Charlotte Real Estate be very careful if you think you are going to rent your Charlotte home out and it will be appreciating. There are simply too many investors watching the same TV. Where would I suggest investing?
If you have cash and want to invest, purchase land. The greater Charlotte Real Estate region will continue to sprawl. Americans like freedom and many Americans do not do well living cooped up in a city. As the population of Charlotte NC grows, Charlotte Property for Sale will be demanded further and further away.

Charlotte Real Estate - Mortgage Options
Many people want to relocate to Charlotte NC Real Estate but are concerned about both property values and the ability to get a mortgage. Inquiring into a mortgage can create stress because no one likes rejection. I can help you overcome these obstacles. I work with several lenders and mortgage brokers and can explain mortgages in layman terms.
What are my Charlotte Mortgage options? First, the "no money down" or 80/20 mortgages are gone. These loan products have disappeared due to the national housing market decline and high foreclosures on sub prime loans. Here is why.
Let's say your home declined 5% in value over the past year. Now you are behind on payments and going into foreclosure. If you are going into foreclosure is is safe to say that you are at least 6 months behind in payments of $6,000 (on a home of about $150,000. Now the lender hires a local attorney for the foreclosure process.
After the foreclosure the lender pays any tax liens or back home owners dues and the marketing expenses. After the home is actually sold the money is dispersed. The 2nd mortgage (the 20% of the 80/20) gets nothing because over 20% of the value was lost due to the expenses. Too many of these occurred so investors will no longer "invest" (or donate) there hard earned cash for 2nd mortgages. Ultimately they were a losing bet.
Here we are today. If you are going to purchase a Charlotte home is is safe to say you either get a FHA loan with 3 1/2% down payment or a conventional loan with at least 10% down. The FHA is a Government backed loan and there is a lot of additional Government red tape in securing this loan. As you are likely to be aware, any time the Government is involved there will be additional hoops to jump through. The FHA loans are more costly but it employs more people (also known as job creation or wealth redistribution).
The conventional loans are still possible but you will need 10% down payment, a credit score of 700+ and a debt to equity ratio of less than 35%. This will be a challenge for many "want to be" home owners but good things come to those who wait. In the long term this will actually help strengthen the over housing market and Homes in Charlotte NC. Visit Charlotte Realty and Rick Waite for additional insights into the greater Charlotte Real Estate market.

Charlotte NC Homes For Sale and Mortgages
Many people listen to the media and feel that no one can receive a home mortgage. Please allow your intelligence to be your guide. The media is a medium for distortion and sensationalism.
Contact a mortgage professional and pursue your options. Yes, high risk loans were a foolish creation dictated by our Government. This created a national financial crisis. Mortgage companies, banks and lenders are now making loans that are minimal risk. In reality this is what banks have done since banks began providing mortgages.
Banks are not mints. They are guardians of our combined savings and are supposed to be intelligent stewards of our life savings. They assess risk and intelligently lend out our money and provide us a modest return. They are merely the middle man managing our money. The Government, via the Community Reinvestment Act told the banks to ignore their stewardship responsibilities and that the Federal Government would guarantee the high risk loans. The legislators foolishly are not intelligent enough to understand financial risk and thus the Government created the crisis.
Banks are still making loans but they are requiring sound financial fundamentals. This is the way it is supposed to be. Banks understand that too much debt will ultimately lead to a personal financial crisis.
I have worked with several lenders lately and they are in fact still making loans. Call me today at 704.770.6559 and I can help you contact lenders that are reputable and will help you all along the way to purchasing your new home.

Charlotte Real Estate Economy
As the sub-prime market further deteriorates, the demographics for cities like Charlotte Real Estate will continue to improve. Charlotte North Carolina is still in great demand but many future residents are on hold. Some were planning to relocate but missed their opportunity until they improve their credit. This will be a challenge for many since they currently reside in an economic environment that is over taxed and hyper inflated.
The new Charlotte migration will be the careful deliberate person that has great credit, a down payment and a good job. This will also dictate a change in demand for the Charlotte Builders and Charlotte Real Estate to adjust for their new clientele.
The investor market will also change. Charlotte Real Estate has had a slow steady growth for many years. Investors rushed in 2 years ago and attempted to distort our market when the rest of the nation was showing signs of illness. They were hoping to create a super inflated market as they had done in other markets.
The problem was they did not comprehend the big picture. They rushed into the lowest dollar homes in an area in hopes of the fast buck. The investors were racing with the most credit challenged people for homes. The mixtures desolated many great Charlotte neighborhoods. Instead of Charlotte Real Estate appreciation, they experienced negative appreciation. Why?
The lower income neighborhoods already had economically challenged home owners. When you add renters, you further diminish the value of the neighborhoods. The investors sabotaged their own investments!
There is hope for investors. There are many foreclosures in economically challenged areas. Those ex-home owners will need a place to stay and will be needing a place to rent. Those neighborhoods will be impacted for another 5 years but you can have positive cash flow as the market recovers.

Charlotte Real Estate-The Big Picture
What does the future have in store for Charlotte Real Estate? Ultimately, Charlotte homes will continue to expand and the demand for Charlotte property will grow outward. How can I say this? Follow the money.
Charlotte Real Estate is surrounded by solid economics, geography and weather. Charlotte Real Estate is close enough to the ocean to have a nice weekend at the beach and Charlotte homes are close enough to the mountains to enjoy the a weekend retreat. So what else?
Bank of America and Wachovia have their headquarters in Charlotte NC. Follow the money. Take a tour to uptown Charlotte and you will be astounded at the astonishing growth of home in uptown Charlotte. There is new construction everywhere and the skyline is filled with construction cranes are lined with cranes. Yes, Charlotte is not a large city today; watch closely and you will see Charlotte Real Estate transform before your eyes.
Why Charlotte? The baby boomers in the north east were all dreaming of their Florida retirement. The bad hurricane season has forever altered the picture. Taxes, HOA and Insurance sky rocketed and extinguished their hyper inflated market. Charlotte will rarely experience a hurricane (one did make landfall in 1989) since it is several hours inland. Since Charlotte Real Estate is safe from these natural disasters, Charlotte homes will be the preferred destination of the baby boomers.
Location: Charlotte Real Estate also provides access to the north east in a days drive. If there is a family event in New York, you can always drive there in a day (unlike Florida).
Transportation: Charlotte Real Estate has the luxury of Charlotte Douglas International airport and the US Airways hub. There are hundreds of direct flights out of Charlotte every day. This supports the Charlotte Real Estate market and further enhances your life style.

Since Charlotte Real Estate is safe from these natural disasters, Charlotte homes will be the preferred destination of the baby boomers.
Location: Charlotte Real Estate also provides access to the north east in a days drive. If there is a family event in New York, you can always drive there in a day (unlike Florida).
Transportation: Charlotte Real Estate has the luxury of Charlotte Douglas International airport and the US Airways hub. There are hundreds of direct flights out of Charlotte every day. This supports the Charlotte Real Estate market and further enhances your life style.
Charlotte has a professional football team, a professional basketball team, a white water center, racing and so much more. What are you waiting for? Pack your bags and lets find your new home.

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.
