Are We In A Housing Bubble?
Buyers are wary of purchasing a home in this market. They see multiple offer bidding wars and Prices going up and they don’t want to over pay. I, however, do not see the market going down. In fact, I see the housing market to continue to rise. Every day we learn of a new major company moving to Charlotte or our local companies expanding. Even today we learned that Centene, a health insurance Giant, will add 6,000 jobs to our market and invest $1B to bring its east coast regional headquarters here. Credit Karma will be adding 600 new jobs in Mecklenburg County with a new high -tech engineering hub. And there are so many more companies expanding or moving here. It is all about supply and demand. High demand will continue to drive up the prices. Which will support your home value and support your home purchase. Some very interesting stats are emerging from our Charlotte Metro market as we enter summer 2021.Sales are still crazy, and numbers are ...

The Charlotte Metro Area's Market in April Was Incredible For Homeowners
Let's recap the March market.... As North Carolina continues to ease COVID-19 restrictions, April home sales — unhampered by the pandemic-induced lockdowns of last Spring, rose 25% year-over-year with 4,678 homes sold across the Charlotte region.
His time last year, residential home sales activity was interrupted and declined nearly 21% over-over-year as both buyers and sellers were sidelined during lockdowns.
So, homes under-contract that have not yet closed rose by 46% year-over-year and total 5,453, compared to only 3,727 in April of 2020.

We’re living in unprecedented times, with the real estate market turning into one of the fastest-moving in recent memory. Inventory is low, bringing about multiple offers on homes to the extent of leading to bidding wars for homes in the most sought-after neighborhoods in Charlotte and its surrounding areas.
Every real estate resource you see is telling you that the correct real estate market across the United States is a Seller’s market, with low housing inventory and high buyer demand. It’s true… but does this mean that you should sell or buy your Charlotte home without a REALTOR®? Not at all.
It’s very important at this time that you use a qualified and experienced real estate agent like Nancy Braun and her team of REALTORS® for that competitive edge and peace of mind that you will move through your real estate transaction to your benefit.
It’s not about how fast you can sell or Saving a little money on the commission, it’s a ...

If you’re thinking of purchasing a home and would like to get a good deal, you may want to consider buying a Charlotte HUD home. HUD homes are homes owned by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, and they are usually offered for sale at affordable prices.
When buying a HUD home, there is no negotiation process. Unlike a regular home for sale on the market, there is no back and forth discussion with the seller. Instead, there is a bidding process, and the highest acceptable offer will be chosen.
Before you go bidding on a HUD home, let us first understand what a HUD home is, and why it offers a great deal.
What is a HUD Home?
HUD stands for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. A HUD home is a home that was acquired through an FHA-insured mortgage, but when the borrower failed to pay the mortgage, the property was foreclosed.
Since the FHA loan was insured by the government, if the borrower was unable to pay the mortgage, the FHA pays. ...
