It’s true and it’s for real the Charlotte residential real estate market is (has been) turning around!

Foxcroft one of Charlotte’s most beautiful and desirable neighborhoods in the heart of Southpark Area 5 has a 10 month supply of homes for sale which up slightly but down dramatically fro it’s high 26 month supply In January 2010.

So what doe this tell us about the Foxcroft home market?

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...

Charlotte’s Foxcroft Neighborhood Back to the Future.

By on August 21, 2012 in Charlotte Real Estate market, Classic Charlotte Neighborhoods, Foxcroft Charlotte Neighborhood, South Charlotte Neighborhoods

Gas was $1.78 a gallon, George Bush was President, Katrina happened, Martha Stewart went to jail, Lindsy Lohan and Paris Hilton were doing what Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton do. The year was 2005 and the Foxcroft home real estate market was actually a lot like it is today in 2012…seven years later!

This Foxcroft neighborhood average price per square foot statistic really surprised me – price per square foot today (July 2012) is exactly the same as April 2005: $224/square foot. It’s always interesting to see a statistic like this for such a well established neighborhood like Foxcroft. Home buyers have to feel like they are buying near the bottom and home sellers can breathe knowing the slide in values from the December 2007 high… Click to continue...

South Charlotte’s Ardrey Neighborhood in Wonderful Balance

I’m not a “numbers” guy but statistics can be interesting. Rhonda is working with a couple of buyers interested in the South Charlotte Ardrey neighborhood*. Ardrey has always been a personal favorite of Rhonda and me – happy Charleston style homes with front porches packed with friendly neighbors and kids – one day I expect we’ll end up there! Oh and the wonderful Ardrey Kell High School and Community House Middle School are literally around the corner….Ballantyne and Blakeney shopping, restaurants and farmer’s markets too!

I looked at the real estate statistics and found the Ardrey neighborhood to be in almost perfect balance.

  • Median home sales price is up 3.6% over 2011 to $442,500 (and pretty darned close to neighborhood high

Don’t ya just love whiz bang stuff! We’ve got these nifty new graphics (they move and stuff – see below & refresh the page) to show you how the Charlotte real estate market is doing…..and right now things are really, really good!

Finally some GOOD NEWS for South Charlotte Home Sellers! We’re seeing homes sell faster and many are getting multiple offers. The number of homes for sale in South Charlotte area 4/5 is down 26% from a year ago in 2011. Homes for sale inventory is down 35% to a 8 months supply from 13 months last summer.
This means…

  • Home Buyers have less to choose from…

And yet everybody wins – but you say Mike

South Charlotte Montibello golf course Carmel Valley Road two story brick house for sale by owner 2012

Don’t fear the Realtor®

By on April 5, 2012 in Buy Home Charlotte, Choosing a Realtor, Home for sale Southpark area 5, Sell Home Charlotte

In a classic (aren’t they all) Modern Family episode real estate agent Phil Dunphy is petrified of clowns….a pretty common fear. But the inside joke is that the clown Phil is most terrified of is named FSBO….that’s right the Realtor® nightmare…For Sale By Owner!

I think we can all chuckle about that…but it struck me the other day when I came upon three gorgeous homes for sale in my own neighborhood Montibello (on the same Street Carmel Valley)…all three are well north of $800k probably $1mm plus…and yet all three are FSBO!

It made my me kind of sad and very frustrated to think these homeowners did not see… Click to continue...
