It is somewhat odd the perspective of Charlotte Home Buyers when they relocate. When searching for home in Charlotte NC Real Estate, first you must look beyond price. I share this not to make you spend more than you desire but to assure you find a home that will at least be as nice as the one you are leaving. No one is relocating to Charlotte NC to live in an area less desirable then they currently reside. No?
Look where you are working first. Then look at the schools. Yes, school websites all provide the same meaningless intellectual nothingness. Keep in mind that their job is to sell their school. The school website is the last place you go for school information; it is so biased that you can read each and leave with the same understanding of nothingness.
The website of www.ncreportcards.org is a great place to begin. This site shares invaluable public information. Yes, it can be tricky to navigate but as you pull up Charlotte Mecklenberg Schools, of to the 2nd tab of a specific "High Student Performance".
Do not look for the largest home for the least amount of money. Where is that home at in your town? Why is that? Is there a reason? Yes, of course.
Housing prices are based on demand. Demand is largely derived from the locals. A relocation buyer frequently gets sold a parcel before the buyer realizes that this specific neighborhood is going through some changes. Guess what, he is now a local and buying a new home in an area that he likes. The new real estate prices will decline in the less desired neighborhood and increase in his new neighborhood.
As you consider your Charlotte home, please consider this perspective prior to buying a home. It is fantastic but you need to understand what you are buying beforehand.
