All in all, the outlook is great for Charlotte real estate next year. This week our team got the download from our real estate mentor and coach, Brian Buffini.

As always, we have published the market stats for Mecklenburg County real estate comparing November’s sales figures to the prior month and again to the same month last year. While the market seems to be holding strong with increasing sales and rising prices, the low interest rates have actually reduced the average house payment by 11%! What an opportunity for both buyers and sellers. Prices are up (good for sellers), but payments are down (great for buyers).
Below is a summary for the stats and you can also find them here:
