National Real Estate Report Demonstrates Charlotte’s Market Strength and Value
Fannie Mae released what many consider the most comprehensive national “sale report” yesterday on the nations housing. While the headline was NOT good, and the nation is faced with a housing depression the likes of which may not have been seen for 50 years, Charlotte and a handful of cities fared well. 2 years into the nation wide housing decline, Charlotte had a 6% increase in prices year over year through March, though it fell off in April to 1.5%. Still positive, and still not bad at all. I remind myself daily how fortunate I am be in Real Estate in Charlotte, NC!

Charlotte, NC Custom Homes|The Palisades Wins:Great Charlotte Values Under $2Million

South Charlotte Homes between $1.5Million and $2.0 Million: The Palisades, Ballantyne Country Club, High Gate, Piper Glen, Southpark, Myers Park– a South Charlotte tour de force!
I’ve spent the better part of last week preparing for a weekend client from the Pacific Northwest, a great family with young children ages 6 and 9. They looked at private schools Charlotte Country Day, Charlotte Latin and Providence Day, on Friday and we looked at homes in Ballantyne, High Gate, Piper Glen, Myers Park, SouthPark and the Palisades over the weekend.
For families moving to Charlotte, no decision looms larger than”Where To Live In Charlotte,”
the BIG question, sometimes asked, “Where would a family like ours be happy?” It is a big question because we have many very nice communities here-at every price point- yet until a family comes here and looks- it is a big question, and one each family has to answer for themselves. The same is true at $1.5 to 2Million, here is what this family decided…
To start, let the schools rule. The community has to be within a reasonable commuting/carpooling distance to the schools of choice. 2nd- The community has to have amenities, a place or places families gather where they can meet children and adults their own age- folks with young children– and amenities beyond golf as they are not big golfers. Both of these are wise and crucial choices that eliminate many nice communities, but keep the communities right for this family.
Two neighborhoods stood out- the Palisades and Ballantyne Country Club. Two former Homearama Houses, great values in the $1.65 M range caught their attention in the Palisades, one by Jas-Am, one by Regal in SW Charlotte’s fastest growing community. And they liked the feel and location of Ballantyne, we saw a large number of children playing outside.
