charlotte: Property Management from Lake Norman to Uptown Charlotte - 07/14/11 12:50 PM
Property Management Lake Norman Region to Uptown Charlotte, NC. Times are tough for homeowners. Sky-high gas prices. Weak job growth. Record foreclosures. The evidence is everywhere, and it's making home ownership more difficult than it has been in years. Even with a faltering real estate market, however, rentals are flourishing, according to Condo.com, a National based Web site that is counting more and more rental properties among its condominium listings. "The credit crisis has made it virtually impossible in some markets to get financed for a mortgage," he says. "Because of that issue in the for-sale market, you're seeing a lot … (0 comments)

The $195 million Nascar Hall of Fame opened Tuesday with considerable fanfare in Charlotte, N.C., the de facto capital of stock-car racing, and thousands showed up in the rain to salute a sport that has a colorful history, but a much sketchier future.
"I want to tell our fans you have the best hall of fame in the world here in Charlotte," Brian France, Nascar's chief executive, said during remarks in the plaza outside the 150,000-square-foot museum.

Pre-Foreclosure Homes for sale in the Lake Norman region of Charlotte.
There are some incredible buys but do your homework.
Develop a system to keep track of properties that interest you. A good tracking system is important since most pre-foreclosure buyers pursue many properties sometimes over a period of several months.

charlotte: Wynfield Forest, Huntersville NC Homes for Sale - 11/13/09 12:32 PM
Wynfield Forest, Huntersville NC Homes for sale. This was my second neighborhood that I lived in when I moved to Charlotte. I could not ask for a better place. However, after having TRIPLET boys we had no choice but to move to a larger home. At the time there were no homes that met our criteria so we ended up moving to Stephens Grove only a couple miles down the street.
The Wynfield Homes of Huntersville, NC is a beautiful and established community that offers a lovely setting for a home-buyer looking for a traditional neighborhood. The main roadway entrance curls its way through the many … (4 comments)

charlotte: Charlotte, NC Real Estate is bouncing back! - 11/12/09 12:08 PM
Charlotte, NC Real Estate is beginning to see signs of recovery and Lake And Town Realty is reaping some of the rewards.
Within the past couple of weeks we had a number of closings and our agents are still picking up buyer clients.
Here is a recent article from our local newspaper that has documented a few reasons and stats to the upswing of sales.
Low interest rates, a hefty tax credit, price discounts and pent-up demand helped push Charlotte-area home sales last month to their first gain of the downturn - and a big one at that.

charlotte: A History Lesson Real Estate Cycles - 03/29/09 05:12 PM
I am sure most of you have heard real estate sales happen in cycles. Here is a short article that just reinforces what most of you believe but have not seen yet.
A History Lesson on Real Estate Cycles
About every ten to twelve years, as an average, real estate values tend to double in most major metropolitan areas. For example, in the 1920's, the original colonial homes sold for just under $2,500 in Long Island, New York. Since then, real estate prices have doubled almost eight times over the last 80 years. That averages out to a 100% increase approximately … (1 comments)

charlotte: Boating Lake Norman, NC...buy or not to buy? - 03/26/09 10:14 AM
I live in the Lake Norman area of Charlotte, NC and would like to get some opinions on whether or not to buy a boat. The lake is large enough to accommodate any size boat. However, I was told not to buy anything less that 24 ft for this lake. It gets quite busy on the weekends and the wakes could rock the boat a little.
My wife grew up on Lake Erie and boated most of her life. We do have 5 1/2 year old triplet boys and thought it might be fun to get them out on the … (1 comments)

charlotte: Play Ball! - 03/23/09 08:16 PM
I know that March is a big month for basketball junkies, but it just makes me crave baseball even more. Don't get me wrong College basketball can be very exciting. However, it seems that you really only need to watch the final 5 minutes of the game. It lasts for a good half hour with all the timeouts and the outcome is usually determined.
I have played baseball throughout high school and college and have been coaching at the high school level now in Charlotte for the past 10 years. Growing up in New York you can only imagine the passion … (3 comments)
