CHARLOTTE REGION REAL ESTATE REPORT: AUGUST 2023WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW...WHAT IT MEANS FOR YOU... Inventory Down | New Listings Down | Sales Down | Prices Up  August 2023 home sales declined in the 16-County Charlotte Region year-over-year, as did pending sales. Sales are happening, but not at the volumes experienced in 2021 and the first half of 2022.  By the same token, closings increased month-over-month from July and contract activity remained steady. Although home buyers remain frustrated by fluctuating rates, lack of new inventory, rising home prices, and economic uncertainty it does appear that buyers are adjusting to the higher interest rate environment.   The Charlotte market has stopped seeing large fluctuations in sales and prices, which indicates the market is slowly moving t...

Why Charlotte Housing Inventory Remains Stubbornly LowWhy does Charlotte have one of the worst housing supply shortages in the country? The short answer is low supply and heavy demand. Lee Allen, the president of Charlotte’s Canopy Realtor Association notes that while demand for Charlotte real estate remains high, local builders simply cannot keep up. As Allen puts it, “As a result, we are a million and a half homes short of inventory to meet with the buyer demand.”That’s the reality, despite many factors at play that tend to cool down the market. The Federal Reserve has boosted interest rates. Freddie Mac reports that the current rate on a 30-year mortgage remains above 6.5%, the highest in twenty years. However, not only do higher rates pressure many potential buyers to hold off on ma...

HOMEOWNERSHIP PAYS OFF!If you're not yet a homeowner, here's why you should seriously consider becoming one sooner and not later despite the higher interest rates and increasing home prices. Since Quarter 1-1991, home prices have risen 297.7% nationally. In North and South Carolina they have risen over 300% in the past couple of decades.   Is it any wonder that housing represents the largest asset owned by most households and is a major means to accumulate wealth? Is it any wonder that 74% of Americans list homeownership as the top cornerstone of financial success! Is it any wonder that 75% of Americans say they would like to own a home one day? If you purchased a $400,000 home last January, your wealth is currently forecasted to grow by more than $71,000 over the next five years.   Is ...

Saturday's Shots - Being Thankful for What We HaveThis evening after dinner, Ray and I set out to the deck with Maddie & Gabby to watch the sunset. The 'preliminary' show was indicative of a masterfully designed painting that was about to be unfurled across the sky. I actually thought this evening would be a great time to do a before & after. We have noticed that about 20 minutes before the sun sets, when the sky is deep blue, it is usually the foundation to a spectacular sunset to come.We waited, in anticipation, as the sky and the clouds grayed, leaving only light gray and dark gray stripes in the sky. There was literally no indication that the sun was setting at the time it was supposed to be setting. Our 'before' picture was the most beautiful our sky was this evening - and when we ...
