Fan of TV’s Homeland? Like to live next door to the Brody’s?

By on January 19, 2013 in Around Charlotte, Mountainbrook Neighborhood, South Charlotte Neighborhoods, Southpark Area

(A little bonus on the real Downton Abbey at the bottom of this post – no it’s not in Charlotte)

Well we might not be able to get you next door* but we can definitely get you in the neighborhood! That’s right Nick and Jess and the kiddos are living right here in Charlotte’s own Mountainbrook! Well kinda of, actually another woman lives there and she’s lived there a long time (she makes way for the Brody’s to visit a couple of times a year)! Read the Charlotte Observer story here…Her house became a home in Showtime’s Homeland

Top Ten Hottest Neighborhood in 2013? #1 South Park*

By on January 4, 2013 in Barclay Downs Neighborhood, Charlotte Neighborhood Market Statistics, Charlotte Real Estate MLS Statistics, Mountainbrook Neighborhood, South Charlotte Neighborhoods


OK (asterisk) it’s not Charlotte’s Southpark neighborhood…but we thought it was pretty cool that (a) South Park (Los Angeles) was forecast to be one of the hottest neighborhoods in 2013.

So why are we writing about LA real estate? Because Charlotte is a relocation mecca and we have always felt that when the housing market improved we’d see a influx of home buyers relocating TO Charlotte NC. Don’t get us wrong we love California, New York, Florida and the midwest – but we hear way more people talking about relocating TO Charlotte than leaving Charlotte.

Let us know if your city is on the 24/7 Wall Street list of Hottest Neighborhoods in 2013 or maybe you live close to one of these… Click to continue...

OK that’s not pretty….but the Charlotte Real Estate Market sure is and it is heating up…Home for sale inventory in many neighborhoods is close to all time lows. For the first time in a long time The best selling season Spring should be more of a sellers market!

Local home prices rose 4.15 percent in October from the same time last year, the latest S&P/Case-Shiller report says.

Charlotte Home Prices on the Rise | Spinnin’ wheel got to go ’round

By on September 26, 2012 in Charlotte Neighborhood Market Statistics, Charlotte Real Estate market, Charlotte Real Estate MLS Statistics


I think the Charlotte housing market has been making us all pretty dizzy. One month Charlotte home prices are up the next they’re down… Blood Sweat and Tears had it half right what goes up does come down but it also comes back up. While the overall Charlotte home market on average is looking much better the following MLS statistics show that the statistics for your neighborhood or area might be quite different. Location, location, location still matters and now more than ever it’s a good idea to get some help from a knowledgeable professional.

Bottom line things are looking much better for Charlotte home sellers and buyer…and of course Charlotte is still one of he best relocation… Click to continue...

Providence Country Club | In the Middle of the Road…Yeah!

By on September 11, 2012 in Charlotte Neighborhood Market Statistics, South Charlotte Neighborhoods

The statistics* say it’s a great time to buy (and hold) in Providence Country Club!

But then you know what they say about statistics…

The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four Americans is suffering from some form of mental illness. Think of your three best friends. If they’re okay, then it’s you.  Rita Mae Brown
Trends are a different thing and we are seeing an interesting trend in the Providence Country Club Neighborhood. The Average Price Per Square Foot (PPSF) on homes sold. Right now the average PPSF is  $144/sf that is 18% above the low $122/sf in December 2012 and well below the high of $165/sf in 2008.

So what does this tell us about the Providence Country Club housing market?

    According to Rhonda Gibbons Realtor Savvy+CO…

    “I’m seeing a lot more sales activity, even multiple offers especially in the more traditional Charlotte neighborhoods. South Charlotte areas like Montibello, Moutainbrook, Barclay Downs and Foxcroft are hot as a firecracker as home buyers look for better value, established neighborhoods and convenient commutes. Location, location, location is back!”
