5 Charlotte-Area Changes to Look For

5 Charlotte-Area Changes to Look For

These 5 Charlotte-Area Changes could help you buy or sell your Charlotte home

Charlotte is ever-growing and constantly changing. It seems as though every month, dozens of new condominiums and apartment homes, new neighborhoods, as well as plenty of shopping and restaurant options are being built all around us. Understanding what’s going on in and around Charlotte can play a vital role in the sale of your Charlotte home or the purchase of your next home in the Queen City.  I’ve done some research to let you know what Charlotte-Area changes to look for as you prepare you buy or sell your home.

1. The Catalyst Project in Downtown Davidson

According to the City of Davidson, plans are underway for developing new shops, restaurants, and parking options in Downtown Davidson around Town Hall. Charlotte Agenda posted that this project will cost about $5.7 million. Execution of this plan hasn’t quite happened yet, as many residents are opposed to it.

2. Community House Road in Ballantyne

Approval for a new community in the Ballantyne area has brought about some plans for Community House Road. You can expect to see a more pedestrian friendly street with sidewalks, roundabouts, additional lighting, and landscaping. Read about why this is happening here.

3. Redevelopment in the Second Ward

A neighborhood in Uptown’s Second Ward is in the process of being redeveloped. The city of Charlotte is in the midst of deciding on one of three proposals for the development, according to Charlottestories.com. To see what these proposals look like, click here.

4. 50 Million dollar expansion of NorthLake Mall

The owners of NorthLake Mall are adding a “lifestyle component” around the permitter of the current mall that will include restaurants, additional shops, and entertainment services. The expansion is to be completed in late 2017.

5. Rock Hill Bleacher Project

A $230 million Rock Hill development is planned to go up across from Winthrop University. The development will include apartments, sports facilities, restaurants, shops, and outdoor entertainment areas. You can view a slideshow of the current plans for this project here.

Whether you are buying or selling a home in Charlotte, North Carolina, these major developments may affect you! Working with a Realtor that is knowledgable about the future of each neighborhood is vital in making a home buying decision, and could play a key role in successfully selling your home.

3. Fun for the whole family

Go on a Saturday morning hiking trip on Crowders Mountain, take the kids to Discovery Place downtown, or take the whole family to the Whitewater Center for more than just whitewater rafting. There’s a plethora of family friendly outdoor activities, scenic greenways, museums and sights to see all over the city.

7 Simple Ways to “Go Green” at Home

by

7 Simple Ways to “Go Green” at Home

“Go Green” in your Charlotte, NC home with these 7 tips.

April, 2016– Danielle Edwards is a Charlotte, NC Realtor with RE/MAX Executive, the number one RE/MAX in the Carolinas.

“Go Green” at home! Making subtle changes to your daily lifestyle at home can make a positive impact on the environment. You don’t have to purchase a hybrid car or start raising your own livestock to create a more environmentally-friendly home. Below are some ideas you might find helpful when deciding to “Go Green” in your Charlotte home.

 

7. Update the insulation in the house

Older homes (built before 1980) may not be constructed well for energy efficiency. According to energy.gov, adding insulation to a home will likely pay for itself within a few years due to the amount of energy it will save for Charlotte, NC homeowners like you. If completely updating the insulation throughout your home is not currently in your budget, you can always purchase thicker curtains, or even sun-blocking/thermal curtains to keep the house cooler during the summer.

6. Throw out pesticides

Most pesticide sprays come in aerosol cans which are bad for the environment– more importantly, the chemicals that exist within those cans aren’t good for you and your family. Prevent pests first by sealing up any exposed holes in the wall or cracks in the foundation. Be very careful not to leave behind any crumbs or sugary and sticky messes. In the event that you do find bugs inside of your home, try using one of these homemade organic pesticides.

Danielle Edwards RE/MAX Realtor Charlotte NC

5. Clean off dust bunnies from refrigerator coils

All of the dust that collects behind your refrigerator will cause it to have to work harder to keep cool. Every 6 months or so, scoot it out and clean off the dust that has accumulated to make sure your fridge isn’t using up more energy than necessary in your home.

4. Unplug small appliances

Appliances still use energy when they’re not turned on or not being used, just because they are plugged into the wall. You can save energy and even cut back on your power bill just by unplugging appliances like your toaster or coffee maker. Also, try unplugging lamps that don’t get used very often in guest bedrooms or formal living rooms.

Danielle Edwards Charlotte NC Realtor REMAX Executives

3. Brew smarter

Coffee drinker? Make sure your coffee was sustainably grown by drinking USDA Certified Organic coffee. If you prefer to drink coffee on the go, many Charlotte, NC coffee shops will offer discounts for customers who bring their own mug or thermos. Save money and save paper or plastic!

Danielle Edwards Charlotte REMAX Realtor

2. Ditch the dryer sheets

Did you know the chemicals in your dryer sheets are bad for your health? There are many home made alternatives to using Tide or Gain dryer sheets that may also save you money! Try this safe alternative instead.

Cost-effective curb appeal projects for your home

Cost-effective curb appeal projects that won’t break the bank

April, 2016– Danielle Edwards is a Charlotte, NC Realtor with RE/MAX Executive, the number one RE/MAX in the Carolinas.

Fix up the exterior of your newly purchased home without emptying your wallet, or get your home in shape to sell without having to hire anyone to do the work for you. Sometimes all it takes is cleaning things up a bit, adding a few accents, or hiding unsightly items in your front yard. Below are some DIY ideas on how to make the most out of your home with just a few cost-effective curb appeal projects.

1. Update your garage door

Even if the exterior of your home is well-maintained or new, a dirty or drab garage door could take away from your home’s curb appeal. This cost-effective curb appeal project will help you transform your home, just by adding some paint or a few pieces of hardware.

  • Option One: Add some gel stain to make your garage door look like it’s made out of beautiful wood. You can even re-stain your front door to match. Learn how here.Cost-effective curb appeal projects

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  • Option Two: Add brackets to your garage door to add some character. This can be done for as little as $10! Click here for a tutorial.

2. Dress up your foundation

If the foundation of your home is less-than-appealing, it’s an easy fix! Simply add some stone to the foundation to add some curb appeal, plant some shrubs, or add stucco. All 3 can be done for a low price. You can find more foundation-improvement ideas for added curb appeal here.

3. Update your mailbox

Your mailbox is the first thing people see from the road. Ditch the tiny black mailbox on a stick and add some stone and elegant numbers to the front instead. This can be accomplished in about a day, and is less expensive than buying a brand new mailbox! To add some extra pizzazz, plant some flowers at the base.

Refinish Carpet Steps

Rip up the carpet and brush on some stain. Turn your drab staircase into a chic and eye-catching feature in your home. Stairs are a very heavy traffic area in any house, causing carpeted steps get dirty and turn dark quickly. By removing the carpet and adding stain to the top of each step, you will create an overall cleaner image and environment in your home.

Create Some dimension

Stencil on some high gloss paint over flat paint. You can find large stencils at most craft stores. This project is perfect for a small accent wall. The effect works best when both paints are the exact same color.

You don’t always need to knock down walls and spend thousands to give your home a makeover. Always be careful to overlook a home because it seems a little plain–sometimes all it takes is a few weekends and a little paint to make your home feel brand new.  When a buyer walks in your home they are looking for reasons to eliminate it.  Don’t give them that option!  Not sure where to start contact Danielle Edwards and she will guide you with a target list to get your home ready to sell.
