Charlotte NC Home Buyer Tips: Do Your Research

National real estate sales data does not, by any stretch of the imagination, reveal the housing market in the area in which you are focusing to purchase that new home. Even local daily newspapers, business journals and websites don’t have the micro-data that you will need to set your price. Be sure that you have your own local Realtor® representing YOU! Ask them for the down and dirty stats that you simply MUST have on-hand in order to make an informed decision with regards to the purchase price of your new home.

Ask your Charlotte North Carolina Realtor® to share with you:

Current versus historic median/average sales prices
Average time on the market of for-sale homes in your specific neighborhood
Recent neighborhood list to sales prices in the community that you are interested in buying.
How many homes have sold in the area in the last 6 months?
How many homes are currently under Contract in the neighborhood/area?

Your Charlotte NC real estate agent can provide you with accurate statistical data and guide you in proper contract negotiations in your specific market for optimal results. Do your research and compare it to what your local expert provides you–your Offer price will be far more accurate when working from the real data obtained from your Realtor®.
