This year is flying! Only a month to go until some schools start in your area so now is the time for buyers to get looking!

Nina, this is such a timely and important reminder for buyers in the Greater Charlotte area. It is easy for families to lose track of time during the summer, and your breakdown of the various school start dates is incredibly helpful. Providing this level of local expertise is exactly what makes you such a valuable resource for anyone looking to settle into a new home before the first bell rings. Excellent post!

Gwen Fowler SC Lakes & Mountains 864-710-4518 thanks, Gwen. With so many South Carolina school districts going to a modified year-round calendar, I have to remind myself to do this kind of post earlier in the summer in future.

Even though it is really hot during the summer months here, families are often shopping for homes before school begins.

Nina Hollander, Broker

Brian England hi Brian...it's hot here, as well... in the 90's. And we have school starting in SC on August 3rd! Won't cool off before then.

We are seeing those who want to get into a specific school making choices right now! We have open enrollment, but the demand schools are always filled first.

Jeffrey DiMuria 321.223.6253 Waves Realty hi Jeff... we don't have open enrollment in our area. I've been seeing houses for sale popping up like crazy in the Waxhaw area this week... top schools that are in demand and sellers are clearly hoping for buyers before school starts in about five weeks.

Good morning Nina. Time is running out for those with school age children, In many areas with school of choice, the options are already closed. Hearing "too late" is not something you can avoid without proper planning. Enjoy your day. 

Jul 17, 2026 07:03 AM
Nina Hollander, Broker

Wayne Martin good morning, Wayne... with so many of our school districts now going to a modified full year school year, back to school shopping will start coinciding with the start of summer vacations.

Nina, most of our school year begins September 2, giving us a little extra time to enjoy summer and take care of back-to-school shopping a little later.

Lawrence "Larry" & Sheila Agranoff. Cell: 631-805-4400 hi Sheila... I prefer that later start to a school year, myself. Sending kids back to school in early August when it's 90+ degrees is crazy.

School will soon be in session faster than we know it, Nina and people in your selling area will appreciate the detailed post! Some clients want to purchase here but getting their kids settled in a rental for now for the new school year, makes sense. the search to buy will start in just a few months.

We started back to school right after Labor Day weekend, it makes more sense instead of so early (August 13th here)!

Wanda Kubat-Nerdin - Wanda Can! hi Wanda... rentals in prime school districts are rather hard to find here.

Kathy Streib hi Kathy... not just school supplies, Halloween supplies, too! :)

Nina there is no time to waste if a Buyer wants to be in a new home before the start of the next school year.

George Souto good morning, George... it feels like schools start earlier each year. Or maybe it feels that way because I'm getting old and time seems to fly.
