Charlotte Real Estate Market Update

Charlotte Real Estate Market Update

South Park home for sale.

How is Charlotte Real Estate doing?

Are we in a seller’s market? Or a buyer’s market?

In the world of Real Estate we use statistics to analyze and inform us aboutÂ how our real estate market is doing in Charlotte. A typical way to know if it is a buyer’s market, or seller’s market, is based on how long it takes for homes to stay on the market. This is called the Absorption rate. If it takes more than 6 months to sell a home, then it is considered a buyer’s market, if it takes 6 months to sell you are right there in the middle, a flat market. If it takes less than 6 months to sell a home, then you are in a seller’s market.

Charlotte Single Family Homes are selling on average 3.8 months

Seller’s Market

The Charlotte real estate market is changing. Recently all 3 of my current transactions were multiple offer situations, and under contract within 5 days.

Homes in Charlotte are selling fast.

Single Family homes, Re-sale, Charlotte

Charlotte Homes under contract on average in 44 days

Another question buyers and sellers always ask is price. Price is key. Price is everything.
The time where you could buy a home in Charlotte for 20% under market valueÂ has passed.

Homes in Charlotte are now selling at an average of 96% of list price!

So, submitting an offer that is extremely LOW is not only insulting to the seller, it makes little sense. Because the seller knows if his/her home is priced right, it should sell at 96-99% of list price. Â In some cases, I’ve seen homes sell for more than listing price!

Snow-Charlotte-Tips-Driving-Fun

January 28, 2014 by Danielle Edwards

Sailview, Denver, NC

OMG! It’s going to SNOW in Charlotte….

becomes a popular post you might see today… over and over again.Â With all the fun with the “snow” there

are some important tips you should know.Â Â AsÂ Realtor, people moving here always ask, “How many times a does it snow in Charlotte?”

I would say on average we might get two good snow falls a year.Â Today is one of those days…. be careful out there.

Snow Charlotte Tip ONE:

Your 4- wheel drive snow proof car doesn’t make you invincible in the snow.Â Four wheel drive is going to give you more tourque to make it through the snowy conditions, it isn’t going to be SUPERSUV and help you brake faster when you are driving too fast in the snow.

Snow Charlotte Tip TWO:

Preparing your car for snow.Â Â Hopefully, you’ve planned in advance for this day.Â Otherwise, ……To ready your car for the winter, check that each of your tires has at least a 6/32-inch (4.8-millimeter) deep tread.Â Â All weather tires can handle most conditions.Â Check your antifreeze levels and battery power and make sure that your defroster and rear window defogger work.Â As far as the inside of your car goes, purchase a snow shovel and kitty litter or sand for digging yourself out of a jam and giving your vehicle traction. Flares, a flashlight and a snow scraper should also be kept in your car.Â Â Also good to have the snow scrapper outside your car, cause when your trunk is iced in that isn’t going to help you.Â Finally, you can always ask a friend who is a snow expert for their advice.

SNOW Charlotte Tip THREE:

Driving too closely.Â This might sound like common sense.Â But, you actually want to double (or if you want to be really cautious — triple) your normal distance between cars, giving yourself a minimum braking distance of six seconds. Put another way, for every 10 mph (16 kph) you’re traveling, you should give yourself four car lengths of space. So if you’re traveling at 30 mph (48 kph), you should have 12 car lengths between you and the vehicle ahead of you.

SNOW Charlotte Tip FOUR:

Slamming on the brakes.Â YIKES!Â Don’t do this.

When you feel your tires start to slip, it’s easy to panic and slam on the brakes.Â Don’t do it — this removes traction from your tires, taking away your ability to control your vehicle.

Once you’ve lost traction and your wheels are locked up, slamming your brakes won’t change the situation. What you should do when you feel yourself begin to skid is ease off the accelerator and let the car slow down on its own. A moving tire means that there is still some traction, which is what you need to steer yourself out of a collision.

If braking is required and your vehicle comes with an anti-lock brake system, brake with steady, even pressure. If your car doesn’t have ABS, then you should pump the brakes by quickly braking again and again.

When handling snow-covered corners, you should begin a steady braking as you approach the turn. Once in the corner, ease off the brakes and use the car’s remaining traction to steer through the turn.

Now for the fun part!

FUN THINGS TO DO IN THE SNOW, CHARLOTTE

Other than making a traditional snowman, or snow ball fight I wanted to post some cute pictures you can try on your own!Â I would love it you come up with your own creative snow artwork and post it to my page!!

Charlotte Real Estate Market

As a Realtor the most popular question I receive, “What is the Charlotte Real Estate Market like?”

As a Realtor, with Remax Executive here in Charlotte, NC I would be happy to address this question.
Currently, as of December 5th 2013, we have a LOW inventory of homes on the market.

As a seller, would be a great time to take advantage and place your home on the market.
For a free monthly market report on your home sign-up here www.daniellewasser.com.

Realtor’s use “absorption rate” which is a formula using homes currently active, with homes that have sold over
the past 12 months.

How can I calculate absorption rate for my home with Charlotte Real Estate market data?

HOMES SOLD/12= x

Mecklenburg County covers Charlotte Area, Real Estate Statistics

Currently, in Mecklenburg county homes are taking 3.19 months to sell, and priced at $96.42 per sq. ft.
Mecklenburg County, is the heart of where Charlotte lives. Homes here are closer to the Uptown Charlotte area, airport, sporting event and concerts.

My move to Charlotte, NC

They say most of Charlotte, NC is all transplants. By the look of the licenses plates, and southern accents less heard I would say this is true. However, there is something truly special about living in Charlotte, NC and I don’t regret my move to Charlotte.
Being raised in South Florida, I was use to the beaches, humidity, and no one speaking English. I love living in the Carolina’s. There are many different parts for you to choose from. You have the “piedmont” where Charlotte, NC is. You also have the Mountains, which are gorgeous. My favorite, the beaches! South Carolina, has my favorite vacation spot, Charleston, also ranked the #1 city to visit in the United States.

As a Realtor, for RE/MAX Executive, we have many amazing tools available for our clients. One of them is the 2013 Lifestyle report. I hope you enjoy learning more about the beautiful Carolina’s. If you ever have any questions about living here, moving here, or general questions, don’t hesitate to ask me.

TOP Thanksgiving Healthy Swaps

November 25, 2013 by Jason

TOP 10 THANKSGIVING HEALTHY SWAPS

Average American consumes 4,500 calories Thanksgiving day, 3,500 Calories in one pound

Turkey and Cranberry Sauce

Let’s start with the basics. Mr. Gobble Turkey with dark meat, and canned jelly is 410 Calories, and 10g of Saturated fat!
OR you could try 4oz Turkey Breast, and homemade cranberry sauce 195 calories.

Stuffy Stuffing

Carbs are the number one thing to avoid when trying to lose weight, or just remain where you are.
1/2 Cup of stuffing is 175 cal and 4 grams of fat.
OR skip the stuffing, and opt for the green bean casserole 100 calories and 6 grams of fat.

Candied Sweet Potatoes with Marsh mellow stuffing

YUMMMM! My favorite Thanksgiving side item. However, the word “candied” is a clue that
it isn’t going to help your waist line. 250 calories, and 8 grams of fat.
OR you can opt for plain sweet potatoes, or mashed potatoes w/ turkey gravy 170 calories.

Not the Cornbread!

If you weren’t snacking on cheese and crackers, bread and nuts before the meal, not to worry, there surely is
cornbread during meal to truly STUFF yourself. Cornbread, 1 square, is 190 calories and 9 grams of fat!
Or a regular dinner roll with butter is 130 calories and 5 grams of fat.

Nana’s Pecan Pie is just the best!

Nana I love your pie, but bring the Pumpkie pie to the event! Pecan pie 1 medium slice, is 450 calories, and 21 grams of fat.
OR the Pumpkin Pie is 335 calories and 15 grams of fat. Both aren’t real winners in the calories department. But, you can pick or choose your sides to save for dessert!

Other than the food swaps, take into consideration the days of leftovers that most people continue to eat their Thanksgiving weekend. Please post any healthy thanksgiving recipes you find here.
