- 07/23/18 08:54 AM
CHARLOTTE HOME MARKET: SELLING AND PRICE BREAKDOWN As some homes sit on the market a bit longer- I am asked often at why??? Why do homes stay on the market? Well for most of us and for most of the larger US markets; homes under $175-199K typically have been selling in less than 45 days with a good majority of those homes going in to multiple offers....knowing the values & what to expect from each a buyer or seller will reduce sellers Days on Market and hopefully help convey a home worth the price...if not- you may end up with longer selling … (3 comments)

buying in charlotte: Sometimes You Don't Know what to tell Sellers...
- 08/31/09 03:30 AM
We all have those listings...the ones where you hope they really sell only to have them sit on the sidelines of the RE Market. We all have them or have had them at one time or another...sometimes you don't know what to say or do...maybe it's because the area is overbuilt, too many homes for sale in the neighborhood...sometimes, price does not matter...I have had a few priced so low for the community that I still can't buy a showing on the Home...that always makes for a great Seller Update Phone Call. So, what do you do? It is happening in low … (2 comments)

‘Trying to hang on' on Elizabeth Good news is that the final phase of street-improvement project could be finished before Sept. 30 deadline. By Greg LacourSpecial Correspondent Posted: Sunday, Aug. 09, 2009 "I honestly feel that we're all feeling pretty defeated at this point," said Bonnie Warford, co-owner of Carpe Diem Restaurant and Caterers, which opened at Elizabeth and Travis in 2003. "We're all just looking forward to it being done." Warford said she can't quantify how much business she's lost just from construction, but it's been "significant." "We've had wedding receptions and business parties cancelled," she said. "We've had a … (0 comments)
buying in charlotte: Owning A Home Means Something Will Always Break Down...
- 08/17/09 12:49 AM
Owning a home means pay, pay, paying Something will always break down or need replacing. Posted: Saturday, Aug. 15, 2009, Charlotte Observer Last week, the garbage can track inside the cabinet broke and had to be replaced. Earlier this year, our refrigerator stopped keeping things cold, so we had to replace that as well. (Big surprise: Replacing our refrigerator actually cost less than what we paid for the original 10 years ago.) Our kitchen sink faucet broke, and we're on the hunt for something that doesn't cost more than $300. The seal of the picture window in my office has broken … (0 comments)
About Madison Park Madison Park: the Fifties meets the New MillenniumStarted in the late 1950's, Madison Park was one of the first modern post World War II neighborhoods in Charlotte. Designed to cater to middle class families, yet incorporating the latest home features of that day, this neighborhood has shown great staying power even into the 21st Century. Property values continue to grow, and the location being so close to uptown/center city Charlotte make this a reasonably priced and very desirable place to put down roots. The problem is in finding available homes for sale, since there are still … (0 comments)
buying in charlotte: List "In Market" or take Prescedence and "Set the Market"
- 08/12/09 04:59 AM
When going on that Listing Appointment, you would figure you know best on what to list the home for. So, when the seller says "I need this..." it does not make much sense of why I am there. Still, there are people when you say...list at $400,000 and capture the market...they say, how about $450k? In this market day and age, those days are gone, people are actually watching their dollars and quite honestly the Mortgage Programs & Appraisers have tightened up so you are doing yourself no favors to try and overprice it! When I say "In Market" price its almost … (1 comments)
At least once a week I get calls from Investors asking if I would like to hand over my Short Sale Listings to them so that they can "Scrub Them Down", find the margin of Profit and then hand back over the Listing to me to Sell...while I know this works for some agents, I have yet to do it...maybe it is the control freak in me, or maybe it's because when I sit with my clients I tell them I personally will do everything I can to work as a Team with them … (7 comments)

buying in charlotte: You Are Asking What For That Property?
- 08/06/09 04:55 AM
Come on...I know most Realtors watch their pennies and dimes but I have to wonder about the agents and the SELEERS who list their properties so far off base it is not even funny...having been in that situation before, I know it is mostly the Sellers fault but...my theory is; If you bought your home in 2004-2007, you should not be looking for 25% or more increase in this market...Am I Wrong Here? I even run Archive Searches to see if they have done extensive upgrades or anything different, most have not...but still some people are crazy...Example...bought the home in 2005 for … (9 comments)
buying in charlotte: Bargain houses selling as others keep sitting, Homes Under $100k in Charlotte
- 08/05/09 02:49 AM
Bargain houses selling as others keep sitting Homes under $100,000 double share of market By Stella M. Hopkinsshopkins@charlotteobserver.com Posted: Saturday, Aug. 01, 2009 Single-family homes under $100,000 have accounted for more than one in six Charlotte-area sales this year, almost double the rate before the downturn. Some of these deals are older houses and rural properties, which are often less expensive. Other homes have fallen below $100,000 amid a weak market that's pushed prices down. And a major driver of the low-end increase is foreclosures and distressed sales, more common among lower-priced houses. The erosion of property values pains the broader … (0 comments)
buying in charlotte: The Importance of Grabbing The Deal Before It is Gone!
- 08/04/09 08:10 AM
So many times in the market right now I get buyers who are ready to go but then don't do anything, only to miss out on the deal afterwards, as we stare at each other while they kick themselves...it is not often that you see a house come available in a considered "Hot Neighborhood", and push your ready buyer to get it, this is what they have been looking for, asked for and searched for...I would say it has only happened a couple handful of times where you know the house you are showing today will have 3 offers in on … (6 comments)
