Charlotte NC Real Estate + Savvy eNews for Week Ending 4/12/13
Here’s what’s happening in the Charlotte NC real estate market this week…
The Charlotte NC real estate market remains HOT–especially for sellers! Savvy buyers are finding that listings are now selling before they even hit the market! That’s right–PRE-market! Great news for The Maxwell House Group’s buyers because we do have our ears to the ground to find the new listings all over town.
However, we are NOT encouraging the sale-before-market for our sellers!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! Bear in mind though, that pre-marketing is not just about 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.
The following are the most recent statistics for the Charlotte real estate market…
During the last 7 days, 493 properties (condos, townhomes, single family homes and lots) have been listed for sale in the Charlotte (city) market, 493 (no, this is not a typo–the same number that were listed this week, have also gone under Contract!) have gone into Escrow (Under Contract) with 271 Closing escrow this week. There are currently only 3,883 properties listed as active in Charlotte. A robust report 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 find and purchase their dream home are also happy to be under Contract or having Closed this week! Congratulations to all of our Savvy buyers and sellers!
