Freedom Park is a favorite of most residents of Charlotte. Especially those living in the Dilworth and Myers Park, which adjoin Freedom Park. The weather has been awesome lately, so I took the opportunity to create a short timelapse video of Freedom Park.

I had the opportunity to interview a client after selling his townhome in South Charlotte in February 2011. This video is a brief account of his experience with me.

The Elizabeth neighborhood near uptown Charlotte is beginning to recover from the real estate slump we’ve seen over the past couple of years in Charlotte as a whole. While it wasn’t hit too hard, its nice to see it starting to show signs of recovery. Take a look at the graph below. Just a year ago, the average amount of sales in the neighborhood per month was a little over one. That number has steadily grown over the past twelve months to its current average of two sales per month.

With the next graph, you’ll see the average price of homes sold in Elizabeth over the past year. This too shows that average prices are increasing from an average of $405,574 a year ago to $456,666 in the past three months.

Although appraisers compare features, updates, square footage, and other items when preparing a true appraisal, a basic value of home prices can be found by comparing price per square foot. If you look at the graph below, its obvious that with the average price of homes sold increasing, it led to the average price per square foot of homes sold also increasing.

Lastly, the average amount sellers have discounted their homes to get them sold has decreased from 7.42% a year ago, to 5.34% in the past three months.

One of the best times to buy real estate is at the bottom of the market or as it begins to rise from the bottom. Looking at the line graphs above of Elizabeth real estate, it looks like now is a prime time to buy. Are you curious about what homes are for sale in Elizabeth?

This past week I had the opportunity to take a “hard hat” tour of The Vue condos and lofts in Uptown Charlotte. They are about one month from receiving their C.O. (certificate of occupancy) that will allow them to start having buyers close on the condos. This video is of the building, their amenity deck (pool, gym, sport court, etc.) and one of the loft style condos.

There are still quite a few condo and loft floorplans in the building to choose from, so email me for additional information.
