The town of Davidson, NC has fianlly gotten a movie theater to call their own. Here is a recent article from the Charlotte Observer that reviews the latest addition to Davidson.
Our Town Cinemas, a first-run, four-screen complex, quietly opened over Christmas weekend with four "must-see" blockbusters.

real estate: Relocating your family to Charlotte NC - Things to consider - 01/01/10 05:44 AM

When relocating your family to the Charlotte, NC area what are the most important things to consider. I have compiled a real simple checklist to follow. Here it is:
1. Schools - Private or Public School choice options available to parents have increased dramatically in recent years. There's a growing national sentiment that promoting competition in public education may spur schools to improve and that parents who invest energy in choosing a school will continue to be involved in their child's education.
2. Extracurricular Activities - sports, dance, theatre, daycares, camps, church, etc... Besides schools I find that a lot of people consider this … (0 comments)

real estate: Distressed Properties in Uptown Charlotte NC - Short Sales - 12/21/09 12:51 AM

Distressed properties in Uptown Charlotte NC are not going away anytime soon especially with the volatile banking industry right now. That allows buyers to capitalize on the real estate market and get into some fantastic Uptown Condos and Townhomes.
It is real important to let your Realtor do his homework and to find out how long certain properties have been on the market to determine if it is worth pursuing. To many times people have found themselves in negotiations and have left with nothing but waisted time.
My rule of thumb and some may disagree but to only look at properties … (0 comments)

real estate: REO Properties for sale Huntersville, North Carolina - Real Estate Owned - 12/08/09 12:18 PM

REO properties for sale in Huntersville, North Carolina.
Each bank/lender works a little differently, but they all have similar goals. They want to get the best price possible and have no interest in "dumping" real estate cheaply. Generally, banks have an entire department set up to manage their REO inventory.
Once you make an offer to purchase, banks generally present a "counter-offer." It may be at a higher price than you expect, but they have to demonstrate to investors, shareholders and auditors that they attempted to get the highest price possible. You should plan to counter the counter-offer.
Your offer or … (0 comments)

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.

real estate: Townhome and Condo Short Sales - Lake Norman to Uptown Charlotte - 12/06/09 05:36 AM

Townhome and Condo short sales in the Lake Norman to Uptown Charlotte area.
A short sale is an "arrangement" between the current owner of a home and the bank that lent them the money to buy their home to accept an offer for less than the total amount owed to pay off the home. The "deficiency" is the difference between the amount owed and what the bank collects at the short sale.Although, the "arrangement" can take many different forms, there is no other definition of a short sale. I say this because many realtors and some investors simply throw the … (0 comments)

real estate: Short Sales/Distressed Properties in Mooresville, NC - Mooresville, NC Real Estate - 12/01/09 04:50 AM

Short Sales/Distressed Properties in Mooresville, NC are becoming more of an option for many homeowners who would like to avoid foreclosure.
Here are a couple things to remember when trying to decide whether or not this is the right decision for you:
If the equity in the house is sufficiently negative, there may be an incentive for the household to engage in a short sale," says Anthony Sander, a finance professor at Arizona State University. "But the more negative the equity, the less likely the lender or servicer will be willing to agree since it increases the loss."
The environment for short-sellers … (0 comments)
