charlotte real estate: Charlotte Real Estate- Home Price Measures - 01/01/10 08:23 AM
So, where are Charlotte Real Estate Prices? There are many measures- There is Case-Shiller, the gold standard for Wall street investors, it measures unique pairs of houses. There is Altos research, which covers all the properties sold from tax records, and then there is the Multiple Listing Service- which measures all the sales of Realtors in a given area. Here is a good look at all three numbers, and help answer the question, Where are Charlotte Home prices heading... Charlotte Real Estate Market 2009

charlotte real estate: When is the Best Time to Have a Low (20% or more) Offer Accepted on a REO? - 03/12/09 02:28 AM
If the bank listed the home at the BPO price, When is the bank most likely to begin accepting that lower price (80% of List)  offer?  
Deciphering bank motivation... I know I know, it may somewhere between astrology and palm reading, but here goes...
Here in Charlotte, where home values (though more recently declining) have remained relatively strong, it has to be on the market quite some time before they are willing to take that size (20% or so) of a discount. Conversely, in parts of California, I am told they accept substantial discounts within days of listing, why would … (5 comments)

charlotte real estate: Slowdown Or DownTurn? The Truth in Charlotte’s Housing Market - 02/07/08 05:51 PM
As Charlotte leads the nation in home price appreciation, our local paper attacks.

Reading Wednesday’s front page Charlotte Observer headline, I couldn’t help but think how wrong they got it. “Slump Catches Up to Charlotte” blares the headline, with a picture of the area counties and number like -20% -24%, or -41% Sounds horrible, doesn’t it? You need to read the smaller print to realize they are measuring the decline in new home building permits. Not home prices, the barometer of a market’s health. Unfortunately, every essential element of this front page, above the fold Observer article either missed the … (1 comments)

charlotte real estate: Charlotte Flexes Its Value Muscles in the National Real Estate Market - 10/04/07 02:54 PM
Last month, Charlotte flexed its value muscle: prices rose 6% in August '07 over August '06, even in the face of a 18% fewer sales... virtually identical to August's 20% decrease in units, but 5% increase in price, the full report is here.
So what gives? Econ 101 says if demand falls prices fall and that is what is happening around the country.  I think it can be explained this way. As little as ten years ago there wasn't one real state market in the US, yes you could measure a national statistic, but that was a collection of each unique market with unique conditions. The information age has changed this, changing the … (3 comments)

charlotte real estate: Greed in Real Estate is Alive and Well, the story of Realty Place - 10/02/07 03:33 PM
This is the story of the rise and fall of a "New Model" in real estate, the story of Realty Place in Charlotte North Carolina, a buyer agency company that didn't have Buyer Agents. Built on sub-prime lending they had socalled Buyer Agents who became agents of the New Home sellers,  marketing to first time homebuyers in local shopping malls, with Used Car sales techniques. Or so says our local newspaper, the Charlotte Observer in two front page stories over the last two days. We've taken a number of former Realty Place agents into our agency, according to them, it's worse than the … (0 comments)

charlotte real estate: Deconstructing the MLS, Misleading Stats and Your/Our Liability - 09/20/07 04:19 PM
How does your MLS compute Days on Market?  This is first in a series on our local MLS- Carolina MLS and how DOM numbers they report work against buyers and their agents.
Good agents and brokers use the MLS daily and it is generally a very reliable source of data- a truth teller for the property, and a truth teller for the market. It needs to be because customers depend on it... we send them "Customer Full Reports"  in their email every day. They can and frequently do  compare properties side by side for features and square foot, a stat so litigious … (3 comments)

This is a penthouse with spectacular city views, 10' ceilings, granite, hardwood floors and more. … (0 comments)

charlotte real estate: Charlotte's August Real Estate Numbers Remain Strong - 09/09/07 04:14 AM
Charlotte Real Estate Market Report: August 2007 Good news on Charlotte real estate prices! For the month ending August 31, area wide prices are UP 5.1% compared with August 2006, comparing average cost per square foot prices of Charlotte single family homes from the MLS. Some news at first glance was alarming, the number of units sold are way down -20% from August 2006- but I believe I can show that this isn't the bad news it might appear to be to the casual observer. (No I didn't say Charlotte Observer) The photo is a Dilworth beauty built in 1903.What does … (0 comments)

I know it's late Monday night-- but with kids in town, it being Labor Day- just not a lot of time to write. This week, I am looking at golf course properties for us, and I reviewed 4 different categories, all on the golf course: under 350K, under 500k, 500- 800K and ...if price was no object.In the under 350 category two great courses and communities met head to head with several entries. I chose a listing in Highland Creek over an identically priced Olde Sycamore home because it was a better lot, better view and it's tee location means fewer … (0 comments)
