Charlotte NC Real Estate eNews | Week Ending 3/23/2013

What’s happening in the Charlotte NC real estate market this week?

The Charlotte NC real estate market is hot, hot, HOT! Savvy buyers looking to get a jump on new listings are finding homes now, PRE-market! Great news for our buyers because we do have our ears to the ground to find that new listing all over town. However, for our sellers, we’re NOT encouraging the sale-before-market!

Even though our sellers are thrilled to be in the midst this incredibly positive, sizzling, Charlotte real estate market, they still need to be aware that in order to have multiple Offers on their homes and therefore achieve a higher net, they NEED to give others a chance to view their property before accepting that pre-market Offer.

We do provide pre-marketing and our sellers couldn’t be happier! Pre-marketing is not just taking a pre-market Offer and immediately going under Contract; it’s about building excitement about your Charlotte home for sale and procuring multiple Offers on your property! We’re seeing buyers with buyer’s remorse or buyers who later cannot perform, backing out of these ‘early’ Contracts and sellers have lost valuable market time by taking that pre-market Offer.

So, without further ado, here are the most recent numbers for the Charlotte real estate market…

During the last 7 days, 424 properties (condos, townhomes, single family homes and lots) have been listed for sale in the Charlotte (city) market, 473 have gone into Escrow (Under Contract) with 255 Closing escrow this week. There are currently only 3,763 properties listed as active in Charlotte. Excellent stats for Charlotte home sellers as we are now in a hot, sellers’ market. Lucky Charlotte home buyers who have been trying for the last couple of months to buy their dream home are also happy to be under Contract or having Closed this week! Congratulations to all of our Savvy buyers and sellers!
