Adrey & Montibello Homes for Sale. All Gone…Almost

By on February 8, 2013 in Ardrey Charlotte Neighborhood, Charlotte Neighborhood Market Statistics, Charlotte Real Estate market, Montibello Neighborhood, Mountainbrook Neighborhood, Sell Home Charlotte

That’s right the January Charlotte MLS residential real estate statistics are in and they are stunning. In a good way for a change!

  • Charlotte Area Home sales up 40%
  • Home for Sale inventory down 30% to five months – historic lows for some neighborhoods (Montibello and Ardrey)
  • Buyer discount to list price down (92.6% of list price paid)
  • Days to sell 155 down from 165.

What are the numbers telling us?

  • There is a lot of pent up home buyer demand in Charlotte – especially in selected south Charlotte neighborhoods
  • The supply/inventory of homes for sale in desirable neighborhoods like Montibello (1.5), Ardrery (1.1) and
    Mountainbrook (2.5) are well below the Charlotte average 5 months and near historic

(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)!

charlotte southark real estate market red hot

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...

Charlotte Home Prices Up….We’re Just A Swingin!

By on August 29, 2012 in Charlotte Real Estate market, Charlotte Real Estate MLS Statistics, Classic Charlotte Neighborhoods

Standard & Poor’s Case Schiller Home Price Index indicates that home prices in the Charlotte area are on the upswing. Charlotte home prices rose one percent in June 2012 versus May 2012. This is the fourth straight month of rising home prices in the Charlotte MLS area.
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!”
We took a look at some average sales price MLS statistics for some of our favorite South Charlotte neighborhoods (current average home price and %… Click to continue...

Charlotte crime in Southpark down

Mountainbrook neighbors keeping Southpark safe!

By on February 10, 2012 in Around Charlotte, Buy Home Charlotte

 

When Rodney Monroe took over as  Charlotte’s top cop he challenged everyone in Charlotte the police force and neighbors alike to take a role and a stake in public safety. His innovative approach has made all the difference for Charlotte neighborhoods.

Southpark’s Montainbrook neighborhood is the latest ‘winner’ in the city’s South Charlotte Homeowners Against Residential Crime competition. This from the South Charlotte Weekly  ”The competition pits local neighborhoods against one another in an effort to reduce residential crime in their communities and the entire response area. This round challenged residents of Beverly Woods, Beverly Woods East, Cameron Wood, Mountainbrook and Olde Providence to get informed about crime prevention at the neighborhood level.” (click links above… Click to continue...
