The $1M Luxury Home Market in Myers Park-
Sales Down, But Prices UP Though 3 Quarters
If you are looking for a luxury custom home, very near Uptown Charlotte NC, the main hospitals, Southpark, then Myers Park will be on your short list. The photos on the left are of Queens Blvd. West, probably Charlotte’s most beautiful street, certainly its most prestigious address. Myers Park was laid out early in the 20th century, and was Charlotte’s first “suburb” past the commuter village of Dilworth. 80-100 year old trees are the norm here, as are wide and windy streets, over a contoured landscape. Charlotte is in the foothills of the mountains with gentle rolling hills throughout most of the area, and in Myers Park the gentle hills add to the landscape . See my well received video on the right for a quick tour.
a very cool Sanctuary update

Myers Park has been being renovated, for the “n” th time, in the last decade. There are quite a few new homes- they are either teardowns or infill- but Myers Park is and has been the most popular address for Charlotte elites for many years. It is clearly the #1 community in Charlotte for over $1M home sales. Last Week, The Sanctuary “won” the first 3 quarters – for New Homes sales for Over $1M Sales in a New Home community in Charlotte, but Myers Park still had 50% more sales over 1M through the first 3 quarters of 2008.
Charlotte Homes For Sale Report- Myers Park
In 2008, through 9/30/08, the Myers Park area had 21 homes sell, down 38% from 2007, for more than $1Million. The median Sold price of $1,714,547 was virtually unchanged from 2007, however the average Cost per Square Foot of the Sold price 
was UP 3.7% over 2007.
Now that is a steady market! Sales off by nearly 40%, averages Sold Cost Per Square Foot is Up 3.7%! Blue Chip all the way.
So how do the sales work in Myers Park? How are the Days on Market (DOM) affected by the slow market? Let me give you a few examples that I think show the range and tell the story.
A home at 1830 Queens Rd W, 4342 sf, was Listed at $1,395,000 and Sold at $1,350,000 in 43 days in this summer- about $310/sf– a great address, great lot, but in need of upfitting, because the first floor had only 8′ ceilings.
A block or so down the street, 1756 Queens Road W, 6,559 square feet was Listed at $3,095,000 and sold at $2,600,000 or $396/sf in 136 days.
The median Cost per Square foot of all Myers Park area Solds, through 3 quarters is $334.00, reflecting a range based on street location, level of updates and general appeal. Exact range details and other research is available to our clients.
So if you are a luxury custom home buyer, and want space, a retreat like area at or on the lake, you might choose the Sanctuary, where $300/sf buys both land and a great house. If you want a convenient intown address, it is probably Myers Park, or its equally beautiful smaller neighbor Eastover, but top of the line will run closer to $400.sf.

October 29th, 2008 Categories: Buy A Charlotte Home, Community Reports, South Charlotte
A TownHome Homes For Sale Report, South Charlotte, Zip Codes 28270, 28277, 28226
Charlotte NCÂ Â Townhomes fill an important niche market in Charlotte, singles, couples and couples with children often start in a townhouse with the idea of moving up, or a retiree or family close to retirement may regard the the idea as a perfect fit between lifestyle (no maintenance) and having their own place. A few years ago, townhomes were fairly rare in the Queen City, you will see that has changed, particulalary in the under $350,000 price range. Have a look at report results below:
South Charlotte Town House and Condo Report
| Price Range | # For | Avg List | # Sold | Avg Sold | inventory | Sale |

| Townhomes for Sale over 500k | 10 | 754360 | 0 | na | na | na |
So, inventory is running high in the under 350K category, I think there are great buys in there. Then the relatively small number of townhomes for sale under $500,000, are slow selling but at obviously very good prices. Have a look at what $384,900 buys in this south Charlotte townhome, the best in south Charlotte.

A Visit to Grandfather Mountain- Charlotte’s Backyard- A Great Weekend Getaway
October 25th, 2008 Categories: Things To Do Charlotte
Fall Family Fun on Grandfather Mountain- About 2 hours from Charlotte NC
Charlotte, NC     One of my favorite things to do with my family each fall is drive west to the Blue Ridge Parkway and to Grandfather Mountain to see the endless mountains speckled with the vibrant reds, oranges and yellows of a North Carolina autumn.
Charlotte’s proximity to the mountains in west Carolina and some of the best beaches in the country in east Carolina is one of my favorite things about living here.
It’s less than an hour to some great hiking spots and about three hours to Myrtle Beach, S.C. When I lived in New York, Myrtle Beach was a once a year week-long vacation. Living in Charlotte, it’s a weekend trip and if you are really craving some ocean waves, even a day trip for some. And awesome mountain hiking trails are as close as 30 minutes from Charlotte.
But this time of year Grandfather Mountain and the quaint neighboring town of Blowing Rock is a time-honored tradition in my family. It’s only about a two-hour drive from Charlotte and well worth the trip.
Grandfather Mountain towers 5,946 feet above sea level in northwest North Carolina.
It is the only private park in the world designated by the United Nations as an International Biosphere Reserve, according to the park’s Web site. It is well-known by North Carolinians for the Mile High Swinging Bridge, a walking bridge that stretches between peaks at the top of the mountain. The 228-foot suspension bridge overlooks the lake and valley shown above. It considered one of the highlights of a trip to Grandfather Mountain, according to the park’s visitor surveys.
We got a late start Saturday but were able to stop in Blowing Rock, which has small historic downtown filled with cute artsy and folksy shops. It’s a great place to Christmas shop for unique gifts. I would have liked window shopping, but my husband wanted to just hop out stretch our legs and keep going to Grandfather Mountain so the kids could enjoy nature. (I’ll return to Blowing Rock with some of my girlfriends soon enough.)
The drive to Grandfather Mountain takes motorists on some of the coolest sections of the Blue Ridge Parkway. There’s a bridge that winds around the edge of a mountain that the kids could see before we wound our way around to it. They were in awe of the views from there.
“It feels like we’re flying,” one of them said.
Along the Parkway, motorists stop at view points to take in the picturesque views. I’ve heard some say you can see the Charlotte skyscrapers from there on a clear day.
Once at Grandfather Mountain, we stopped first at the animal sanctuary where the kids enjoyed seeing a bald eagle, two black bears and one brown bear, deer and two cougars. Oh, yeah and two cute little otters that were cuddling together near a rock.
Then we drove up this winding road that seemed like it was reaching to heaven to get to the Mile High Swinging Bridge.
On the way down from the Mile High Swinging Bridge, you feel like you are on the edge of the world about to drive off.
My 7-year-old stepson Harrison (seated on the fence in the photo above) said, “This seems even more dangerous than a roller coaster!”
“It probably is,” my husband said.
On the way down, the kids also climbed a huge rock formation called Split Rock.
We didn’t do any hiking Saturday because we had our 7-month-old baby with us and it was a little chilly, but we plan to return in the summer to check out the trails.
To learn more about Grandfather Mountain, visit the Web site at www.grandfather.com.
Editors Note: It was just recently announced that Grandfather Mountain will b epurchased by the state of North Carolina to preserve its pristine nature.

NEW Charlotte Homes Over $1Million| The Sanctuary is in First Place in 2008
October 24th, 2008 Categories: Charlotte Homes for Sale, Lake Wylie NC and SC
The Sanctuary on Lake Wylie is Leading the Charlotte area in New home Sale over $1M after 3 Quarters…
Charlotte, NC But its a close race… In a year when many thought the Charlotte “over $1M home sale” was dead, three communities have done quite well. The Sanctuary by Crescent Communities has a small lead over the Club at Longview and both have a bit larger lead over The Point on Lake Norman. This is interesting because of the closeness of the race between the Sanctuary and Longview, and the great contrast between the communities.
The Club at Longview is quite obviously a country club, and quite a
spectacular one at that- with the areas only Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course, and a clubhouse and “family play center” that is hard to find anywhere at any price. Large homes on long fairways abound. Here is a past Longview Country club post
The Sanctuary takes a different view, and provides space for families to spread out, to grow, and the ultimate in privacy with homes situated on a minimum of 2.5 acres, many are on 3, 5, or even 8 acre estate sites. (There were 2 waterfront sites at 10 acres each!) More on the Sanctuary here
The compiling of these stats were not entirely scientific. I used the MLS, requested information on any unlisted custom homes, an my own personal knowledge of sales in each. I’ll do better for the year ends!
Cost per square foot? These two Charlotte luxury communities are just about tied-
of the 10 properties for sale at the Club at Longview, the average sales price is $2,131,000 and $307 per sf. The Sanctuary? The 4 homes here average $1,880,000 and $295 per sf.

Charlotte Buyer Agency- New Homes, Rebates, Real Estate the Way You Like It…
October 18th, 2008 Categories: Buy A Charlotte Home, Lake Norman Real Estate, South Charlotte, Union County
That’s right, home price are at a low point, interest rates are low, and now we (TerryMcDonaldRealEstate.com) are offering new home rebates on most new Inventory homes.
You’ll feel Like Celebrating!
Why? In the downturn as we approach the end of the year, Charlotte New Home Builders are paying us more, and we are passing on those increases to our Buyers.
Here’s how it works. A typical builder in more normal times paid us a 2.5% Buyer Agent Commission- adequate to be sure. Now almost all builders are paying 3%, many 4% and 5%, and some are paying 3% plus a cash bonus. Since November of 2007, we have rebated the bonus portion, now we are adding that portion above our 2.5%. As Buyer Agents, we represent the interests of the buyer and can not reconcile a larger commission-because times are slow at the subdivision. Let’s look at some examples:
A $300,000 home with a 3% commission, and $2000 bonus. Your Buyer Rebate? 1/2% of $300K, plus 2000 = $3500.
A $400,000 home with a 4% Commission equals a 1.5% Rebate to the Buyer or $6000. A 5% Commission? $10,000 Rebate. The larger the home the bigger the numbers.
Now lets look at some actual new Home Inventory from 2 builders, one regional and one national that is already selling at a discount, often below Replacement Cost- home prices are from $76/sf, and all are under $120/sf, and also pay the Buyer Rebate through TMRE.

Now these offers change all the time, so this is not an offer… you’ll want to confirm any offer with your TMRE Buyer Agent prior to purchase– but the deals are real, and could help with all those expenses after you move in. Unfortunately you may Not use these rebates to help with closing or other settlement charges, NC law prohibits that, and all Rebates Must appear on the HUD 1 at closing.
Each week, I’ll post what we get from local and national builders, passing every deal on to our Buyers. Are you looking at new homes this weekend? If yes, you’ll want to give me a call, and we’ll get you an Agent. If you are already out looking, they’ll ask if you have a Buyer Agent, or representation, and you simply say “Yes, the McDonald Team.” There is always a 1/2% Rebate, and often more on Inventory Homes in Charlotte!
————————————-
It is a strong buyers market here in the greater Charlotte area, Lake Wylie, Lake Norman, the whole area for new homes and re-sales.

Top 8 Cyber Security Practices
The National Cyber Security Alliance, which is coordinating the effort designating October as National Cyber Security Awareness Month, has a list of the “Top 8 Cyber Security Practices.” This list, although not new to many in the StopBadware community, is a great resource for educating users about the key concepts for staying safe online.
Here’s the list:
- Protect your personal information. It’s valuable.
- Know who you’re dealing with online.
- Use anti-virus software, a firewall, and anti-spyware software to help keep your computer safe and secure.
- Be sure to set up your operating system and web browser software properly, and update them regularly.
- Use strong passwords or strong authentication technology to help protect your personal information.
- Back up important files.
- Learn what to do if something goes wrong.
- Protect your children online.
