Charlotte NC|Forbes.com Declares Charlotte 3rd Most UNDER-Valued Real Estate Market in the US

November 17th, 2007 Categories: Charlotte Business

From Forbes.com,November 13, 2007 About Charlotte North Carolina Real Estate…

Charlotte NC Skyline- Bank Of America tallest“…You’re most likely to find undervalued real estate in cities where the real estate boom was driven by sustainable factors like job growth and economic expansion–like Charlotte, N.C. The city has quietly become one of America’s leading financial centers: Its banking sector, anchored by Bank of America (nyse: BAC – news – people ) and investment subsidiary Banc of America, has continued to expand even as Wall Street takes its lumps.” (bold is from me- and international investors are noticing too.)

Ahem… I think I’ve said this,

… as in No Bubble Here , and here note the last line and this 3rd Quarter Market Report

We’ve grown the old fashioned way: adding jobs and more and more people just want to move here.”

Full Forbes Article The Forbes writer , Matt Woolsey goes on to say, “So there’s big money in Charlotte. But based on price-per-square-foot numbers from Radar Logic, a New York-based real estate research firm, the city boasts the third-cheapest real estate in the country, behind Detroit and Atlanta, Ga. Detroit’s woes are well worn, and Atlanta has an inventory glut and a fast rate of home construction. But Charlotte is without an inventory problem and has a dipping rate of home starts, according to NAHB.

So where are the deals in Charlotte Real Estate?

There are deals in new homes as builders shed inventory -all price points, there are excellent multi-family opportunities, and if you are considering opening a new business, a franchise, or a professional practice, come to Charlotte, where the economy hums, new business entrepreneurs are welcome, and real estate is – not cheap, but you get more for your money. You’ll save on your taxers and insurance too in this business friendly city. Can’t give away the store here, My competitors read this too) but there are great deals here on property that is nationally undervalued. And from Europe, it is even cheaper, I have folks from Italy this weekend.

Oh, did I mention there is just about no winter here? People move here all the time, or buy 2nd homes, for the climate alone.

So who is buying in Charlotte?

Certainly the affluent, where the national market doesn’t bother them. Since October 1, therehave been 179 sales of homes over $600,000- there were 50 over $1Million.

In addition, 2nd home purchases to live in part-time (we’ve had at least 3 “grand-mother” purchases this year”) and the transfers, folks whose job has moved them here, and still a number of other families moving my chocie.

We are Buyer Agents, we represent only you in Charlotte NC and Upper SC,
