RINEMAN REAL ESTATE

propertypatclt I did a post earlier this year about the most affordable zips in the Charlotte area and I wanted to share the most expensive zips by average price point for comparison. Recently we’ve seen a lot of headlines in the news around affordability in housing, so I know this may not be an extremely popular post, but I like to provide the facts and the data to help better inform prospective buyers and sellers (no matter what your pricepoint might be). If we compare the highest priced areas in Charlotte the highest priced areas in similar sized metros, I think you might be pleasantly surprised…🤔 So why are these areas at the top of this list? Convenience - The majority of these zips offer a ton of convenience for those that live there. Most of them have very easy access to Uptown Charlotte along with other popular neighborhoods like SouthEnd, SouthPark, LoSo, Cotswold, and Dilworth (among others). This allows for short commutes to work, restaurants, shopping, and nightlife that the Queen City has to offer. The only zip that would be the exception here is 28173 (Waxhaw). Waxhaw does have great access to shopping and a great little downtown area with some good restaurants, but the location does require a bit longer commute to Uptown Charlotte and other Charlotte neighborhoods. The main reason Waxhaw is on this list is because there are many large houses with large properties in the 28173 zip code. Schools - The other thing that all of these zip codes have in common is their highly rated-schools. According to GreatSchools.org all of these zip codes have some of the best-rated public schools in the entire metro and easy access to many of the top private schools as well. At the end of the day, real estate values are determined based on their location and overall desirability. In my opinion, these should be the most important criteria/factors you are looking at when purchasing your next home. **The data I pulled for this post was the average closed sale price in the month of November 2023 within a 25-mile radius of Uptown Charlotte** #realestate #CharlotteRealtor #CharlotteRealEstate #CharlotteNC #Charlottehomes #LuxuryRealEstate

propertypatclt Thinking about embarking on the journey to homeownership? 🏡✨ Contrary to popular belief, it’s not always about saving up that elusive 20% down payment. 🚫💰 What truly matters is finding your comfort zone in monthly payments. 💳💭 Start by figuring out what you can comfortably afford each month, and let that guide your down payment strategy. 📊 The magic lies in understanding your financial landscape. Calculate your monthly budget, considering factors like income, expenses, and lifestyle. 🧮 Then, use this insight to determine a realistic down payment that aligns with your financial goals. Remember, it’s about making homeownership a sustainable and joyful journey, not a stressful one! 🔍 So, before diving into the house-hunting adventure, equip yourself with the knowledge of your financial comfort zone. Let your monthly affordability be your North Star, guiding you to that perfect home sweet home. Make sure you get connected with a local realtor and lender so they can help guide you down the path to success.🌟 #HomeownershipJourney #HomeOwnership #RealEstateDreams #realestate #CharlotteRealtor #CharlotteRealEstate #CharlotteNC #Charlottehomes

propertypatclt 🏡 Thinking about buying a home? It’s essential to be well-prepared before taking this big step. Here’s a handy checklist to help you decide if it’s the right move for you in 2023: 1️⃣ Plan for the long term: Are you ready to settle down in the area for the next several years? Your first home doesn’t have to be your forever home, but if you’re planning to relocate soon, renting might be a smarter choice. 2️⃣ Stable income matters: A steady monthly income is crucial as it determines how much home you can afford. Crunch those numbers before diving into the home-buying journey. 3️⃣ Savings are key: Having savings is a must. You’ll need funds for a down payment and various costs. Don’t worry if you need a little help—family can pitch in if necessary. ✨ If you’ve checked off these three items, you’re on the right track! The next step? Consult an expert to discover your eligibility and gather insights into home prices in your specific market. Remember, buying a home is a significant decision. Take your time, do your research, and make an informed choice. Your dream home awaits! 🏡💫 #HomeSweetHome #RealEstateWisdom #HomeBuyingJourney #charlotterealestate
