Charlotte Real Estate Suburbs & Fort Mill Real Estate

Charlotte Real Estate continues to mature and the surrounding growth is becoming established especially in Fort Mill Real Estate. Fort Mill SC is 10 miles from center city Charlotte and provides many unique advantages for a person relocating. So what are the benefits for homes in Fort Mill?

Location and Commute: As initially mentioned, Fort Mill is only minutes from Uptown Charlotte. Fort Mill SC is located in York County South Carolina and just south on I-77 so the commute for work is ideal. You will also note the Fort Mill road infrastructure has been well planned and enables you to live in Fort Mill and conveniently work in Charlotte.

Property Taxes: Fort Mill (all of South Carolina) changed the process in which they fund the schools. The schools are now funded via the sales tax and also lottery proceeds. This provides a more equitable means of funding since renters and tourists (not claiming this to be "fair" but it is a benefit for home owners) contribute to one of the most important aspects of life style, the schools.

Fort Mill Schools: One of the great benefits of Fort Mill Real Estate are the Fort Mill Schools. The schools are among the top rated schools in the state and their SAT scores are also highly ranked as compared to the rest of the nation.

Tega Cay Real Estate: Tega Cay as initially a development within Fort Mill but is now a separate city that is surrounded by Fort Mill. Tega Cay still attends all Fort Mill schools so if you find Fort Mill Schools desirable then you will also consider Tega Cay. Tega Cay Real Estate for sale is a great option.

Charlotte Real Estate with Equity

There are Charlotte Homes with equity for the wise buyer. Be careful with "claimed equity". North Carolina property taxes are based on scheduled assessments. The assessments are based on current market value. Are you getting equity on current market values? Was the Charlotte home losing value as the rest of Charlotte appreciates? Was the appreciating "home equity" depreciating when the remainder of Charlotte Real Estate was strong?

The Charlotte housing market continues to appreciate even as real estate around the nation suffers. There is a demand and desire to live in Charlotte and it is inevitable for this trend to continue. If you are one of the fortunate home owners and are ready to relocate we can find a great deal for you. Visit my Charlotte Real Estate website for additional information on Charlotte and all of our great suburbs.

Charlotte Real Estate Opportunities

As the national real estate market is a challenge, the greater Charlotte Real Estate area continues to expand. There has been a slow down based on higher lending standards but this will actually improve the overall health of the real estate market. There are real estate investor opportunities for rental properties as opposed to people hoping to flip homes.

The Charlotte Real Estate market continues to sell but additional precautions are necessary to confirm the buyer can obtain a home loan in today's market.

There are also potential opportunities for Charlotte Short Sales. A short sale occurs if a home is approaching foreclosure and both the lender and the seller agrees to sell the home for less than what is owed. The lenders typically absorb the loss so will ultimately decide if an offer is acceptable. There are many nuances with these types of purchases and you must have a good realtor to assist. There is a lot of information needed to meet the demands of the lender. It takes a lot of micromanaging to facilitate these deals.
