Charlotte NC is a Great Market for Smart Investors

(I have to thank Jeff Turner for his very timely post about the new Google presentations!)

I get a lot of calls and emails from folks wanting to invest in real estate in Charlotte NC and our metro market.  For despite the gloom and doom that the national news media insists on espousing, our market is strong-prices are increasing and inventory is stable at around 80 days on the market.

In addition to the general real estate fundamentals, our local economy is well-diversified and strong.  We are home to 8 Fortune 500 headquarters (making Charlotte the #6 city for total number of headquarters), the number two financial market, etc.

So, you say, why invest in Charlotte now? Well, with a net population increase of 80,000 folks per year (yes, that's NET), and with the mortgage industry shakeout...we have a growing pool of renters in Charlotte who have money to spend (our unemployment is low, currently showing as 4.6%).

Long story short-folks who were buying three months ago are now back into the rental pool, no longer able to obtain the 100% financing on moderate credit scores.
