Sundays - Sorry, the Bluebirds Have Flown the Coop 
We enjoyed watching the bluebird parents feeding their little ones and hovering, night and day, protecting them. The past few days, we've been watching the racoons checking out the empty nest.
While we know they were hoping to nab a few beautiful birds for dinner, we still love watching them; their markings are textbook racoons and they are cute creatures! Can you spot our visitor?
Happy Sunday & Mother's Day! I hope it was a fabulous day for all...

 Thankfulness (DAY 8) - I LOVE Charlotte!
 
My parents finally landed here in NC and within about a year and a half, my Dad was moved to Georgia. I grew up in a military family and when we landed in NC, I was a sophomore and by my junior year, I was being recruited to play basketball for several different colleges. My coach begged my parents to allow him to find a 'host' family and let me finish out high school here in NC, about an hour away from Charlotte. I was 16 at the time - my parents agreed and the rest is … (36 comments)

Charlotte NC Real Estate Market Report - 11/2009
 
Data from the Charlotte NC MLS  shows that our housing market continues to show a slow but, steady improvement.  October sales continue to be heavy in the $250K and under market, allowing our second-time home buyers to move up as well.
Charlotte's  local economy also appears to continue the upward trend that began in Q2, 2009.   Mecklenburg County Charlotte NC expanded 11,500 jobs which was a 15% year-over-year increase from 2008.  This, during the worst recession in many years, is nothing short of commendable!  FORTUNE Small Business Magazine named Charlotte NC as … (12 comments)

Charlotte North Carolina Housing Market is Bouncing Back!

The Wall Street firm, UBS Securities, reports that Charlotte's housing market could be among the first market to bounce back. Analysts examined 13 regions, taking into consideration demographics, housing inventory, affordability and other economic factors. Population and job/economic growth helped push Charlotte to the top of the list.  Some of the big bank job losses are a concern but, all things considered, growth continues to move upwards.

During the 'big boom' housing market, other areas showed higher appreciation than did Charlotte, leaving Charlotte with a far less price margin to have … (11 comments)
