Charlotte NC is number 1 in the south, and 7th nationwide in Forbes top ten list of places to Buy a home.

Based on affordability, the economy, taxes and overall quality of life, for the full story Charlotte appears on all kinds of lists, but what about you?

What are you looking for in a move to Charlotte?

Charlotte NC If you were relocating, possibly to Charlotte, what are you looking for in a city-community? Underneath it all we are all looking to be happy, but what do we base that on? More than 300,000 people have moved to Charlotte since 2000, something like the City of Cincinatti moving here… Why? Based on both experience and research, I’ve come up with this formula on why people move, and what draws them to the Charlotte area, from Lake Norman to Waxhaw.

Each group, family or individual, is different in how they prioritize these issues, but most folks want a good economy, to feel secure in their homes, an area that is aesthetically pleasing, and an area with good schools… Of course affordable home prices and values drive fully half the moves, but folks are also looking for as low as possible taxes, and an open culturally diverse city, and a city you can move around in without being killed by traffic.

I’ll be writing on this all week… Why families move to Charlotte, Huntersville or Matthews? Is it home affordability?
Good jobs? I’ll interview some of my past buyers and get their thoughts…
