Where Can I Find Information On the Real Estate Market?
If you’re like me, you’re always looking for a great resource for information on the Charlotte real estate market. You have questions and you want answers.
- What are the taxes like in this area?
- What are the current selling prices for homes?
- What’s a specific neighborhood like?
- Is there anything besides the economy affecting the Charlotte real estate market?
For example, you may want to know current market trends . Are they stabilizing? Are things still sliding down hill? Is there a buying trend sellers can take advantage of to market their homes? While a professional real estate agent will help you sell or find a home, it doesn’t hurt for you to do a little research on your own to become more knowledgeable. 
So where can you find reliable information on the real estate market? Of course, your Realtor® can provide the most up-to-date answers to your questions but, on the Internet, there are thousands, perhaps millions, of informational sites. Here are just a few of my personal favorites:
CNNMoney.com (real estate) – The information on CNNMoney.com has no bias in terms of convincing you to sell or buy. Where are home prices falling? Where are they strongest? What information do you need to know as a buyer or seller? From mortgages to pricing and market stability, you can find it here.
RISMedia.com – If you can’t find it on CNNMoney, you can most likely find it on RISMedia. Home improvement, financing and foreclosure information are just a few of the topics. As well, because RISMedia is actually involved in real estate, you can find the latest market information.
DQNews.com – DataQuick provides real estate data on a state-by-state basis or on a specific area. While the information can be a little technical for the non-real-estate-professional, if you want to know how the Las Vegas region is doing for home sales, or the average mortgage rates in Missouri, DQ can help. Depending on your area, you may have to pay for the data, but it’s fairly inexpensive and can give you some solid information.
Tax Information - Here is information on Charlotte (Mecklenburg County) and three of the surrounding counties:
