Charlotte NC Chantilly Community:  A Seller's Perspective   When asked what drew our sellers to their home and their community, our sellers just could not say enough.               "My favorite parts about this house are the deck and the shower!  Other great things about this house are that it has a completely private backyard and is located so close to the city.  We have walked to Plaza Midwood and Elizabeth for live music and dinner on nice nights.  Overall, it is the neighborhood!  The neighborhood is the reason, that if we stayed in Charlotte, we wouldn't leave Chantilly.  The number of young couples walking, jogging, pushing kids and walking dogs all make this neighborhood the best in Charlotte!"         Located in the shadows of Uptown Charlotte North Carolina real estate is the q...

  So you think we have it tough… March 13th, 2009 categories: Home Financing, Jackie Stutts, Real Estate Grind     So you think we have it tough now, take a look at this. This was lifted off the front page of the Charlotte Observer on March 30, 1980. My wife Jackie Stutts and I bought our first house in closing months in 1980. Considering where the interest rates had been earlier in the year, we were more than thrilled when rates dropped below 12% and we got our first mortgage at the bargain basement rate of 11.75% for a 30 year fixed rate with a 10% down payment. We thought we had made the coup of the century and we felt good about what we had done. Rates would never be that low again.   Today’s interest rates are at the lowest level that they have been in years. If you are waiting for...

If the bank listed the home at the BPO price, When is the bank most likely to begin accepting that lower price (80% of List)  offer?   Deciphering bank motivation... I know I know, it may somewhere between astrology and palm reading, but here goes... Here in Charlotte, where home values (though more recently declining) have remained relatively strong, it has to be on the market quite some time before they are willing to take that size (20% or so) of a discount. Conversely, in parts of California, I am told they accept substantial discounts within days of listing, why would that be? What are the variables to consider? And while each bank/REO will be unique, are there any good rules of the road? Or at least a "Rule of Thumb?"? I think the #1 determinant has to be: What is the likelihood o...

                                                                                                                                                       The Truth About The First "30" Most of us glance occasionally at the hoards of real estate listings of homes for sale in the newspaper. We do it out of a curiosity for what's happening in the real estate market and as a guide to what our own property might be worth. For many of us, searching the real estate listings is a relaxing form of entertainment. Then suddenly, our level of interest rises when the time comes to buy or sell our own property. Scouring real estate listings becomes almost an obsession. Those real estate flyers that fill our mail box get read. We search the internet for real estate websites. And, we carefully scan the hu...

Last month's homes sales in Charlotte are off 38% from Last February's, a long-established traditional Real Estate company is shuttering 25% of its offices, on a ride back from Monroe on Hwy 74 I caught a glimpse of a brand new shopping center so I pulled in-it was a ghost town.  I estimated 75,000 square feet of small shop space complete with nice architecture, landscaping and water features-not one single tenant in the whole development.  Folks, that is about as real as it gets.  I consider myself a fairly upbeat and positive person and don't usually go around spreading negativity.  But I believe there is a major paradigm shift afoot that will change the entire consumerism landscape for many years into the future.  And as painful as it has been, is, and is yet to be, it may turn out t...

I will preface this portion of this topic like I have the others...movers don't sell insurance.  Only insurance companies sell insurance.  Movers sell "valuation".   The only other type of coverage you can get from a mover is "full replacement coverage" or "full value protection".  Some companies call them slightly different things but they are the same animal.  Basically what you are doing with this is you are buying a value ceiling or a value umbrella over your entire goods.  Some movers make you buy a minimum of $6.00/lb.  That is not per article. That refers to the minimum you could purchase over your entire shipment.  For example, if your entire shipment weighs 10,000 lbs, you would have to be covered to $60,000 of coverage.  In other words your claim could not exceed $60,000.  If ...

Thinking of Buying a home in Charlotte, NC? Wow, if buying a home was always a good idea, buying now is a great idea. With the new Federal and North Carolina laws first time home buyers who qualify could receive a forgivable refundable credit of up to $8,000 or 10% of the purchase price when buying a home between January and December of 2009. The best thing of all is that you can claim the credit in your 2008 taxes!!
