Are you searching for new homes for sale in Charlotte, NC? Here are a few things to consider about researching brand new homes for sale in NC.
Before you drive all over town and waist a lot of time and burn up a lot of gas, it is always best to spend a little time Online to do some research. Most real estate sites that you will visit have some sort of home search functionality where you can go and look up information on homes. Typically they are labeled "Search for a New Home", but what you actually get is information on "used homes." 34% of the homes sold in Charlotte, NC are actually New Construction so if you are just looking at "used homes," you are probably missing out on some of the best values in today's market.
The Real Estate Market has been hit hard due to the recession, however the Charlotte Market is doing quite well compared to some of the other markets in the country. Many New Home Builders have brand new homes for sale that are complete and ready to go. Unlike an individual selling their home by owner who only has one home to sell, builders are sitting on a large inventory of homes and have already made adjustments to the pricing so that these homes are priced for a quick sale. Their inventory must GO!
This is good news for the consumer. Some of the best values in today's market are brand new homes. Besides price, you get peace of mind. Everything in the home is brand new- New Carpet, New Shingles, New Appliances etc.
So what is the best strategy for finding your new home online? Some people go to many builders websites (most builders will have a website) and try to figure out what is available. The challenges that you will face with this type of strategy is that every site will be different, some better than others, and once you've been to two or three builder sites, everything will start to get jumbled and confusing.
The best place that I have found to do research for new homes is on a site that contains many builder's home information all consolidated together. This makes your searches much more efficient and effective and will definitely save you time and money compared to just driving around and looking for the little directional signs to the model homes. Many cities have sign ordinances which prohibit the builders from even putting the directional signs out on the road, which means your new dream home might be right up the street but you never were able to find it.
One of the best sites that I have found that have both inventory homes and models to build from established and well known Charlotte area builders all on one site is Builders Direct Online. This site services the Charlotte North Carolina Market, which includes Mecklenburg County, Iredell County, Cabarrus County, Union County, Gaston County, as well as new home builders in York and Northern Lancaster Counties in South Carolina.
Good Luck, searching for new homes for sale in Charlotte. I know you will love living in Charlotte, NC - The "Queen City".
