9 PLACES TO SEE THE NUTCRACKER BALLET IN THE GREATER CHARLOTTE AREA THIS HOLIDAY SEASONAre You A Nutcracker Ballet Fan?Is attending a performance of the Nutcracker Ballet a Christmas tradition for your family?  Attending a performance of the Nutcrack Ballet was a tradition I grew up with.

HOW MUCH HAS YOUR GREATER CHARLOTTE HOME'S VALUE INCREASED IN 2022? Throughout much of 2022 the Greater Charlotte Region continued to suffer from a persistent lack of inventory. The lack of inventory was further exacerbated by the region's continued population growth at a pace greater than the national average, baby boomers who continue to live in their homes, and less new construction inventory.  Demand for homes outweighing the supply of homes has been the story of the Charlotte region's housing market in 2020, 2021, and into 2022 resulting in price appreciation that is leading many areas of the nation in annual gains. The Charlotte region continues to rank high on the hottest housing market lists. And that also means that Charlotte region homeowners have more equity in their homes th...

Speechless Sundays - Late Fall Colorful Sunset Despite the cooler evenings (and heaven forbid, darkness at 4:30 PM), we are enjoying the brilliant sunsets every chance we get. The fire keeps us warm and the peacefulness of the lake, along with the quiet of the night, all create an ambiance we both enjoy so much. We share our 'art-in-the-sky' with our friends every chance we get as well! It's the most relaxing, majestic experience - what a way to cap off a busy day at work too. A special note - the reflection in the water shows the silhouette of the trees and the pink clouds' reflection. It was a spectacular sunset last evening!  I hope you have the opportunity to enjoy a sunset or two this week. You'll understand what I mean about the majestic experience! © Debe Maxwell, CRS | The Maxwe...

Latest news on the Greater Charlotte Region's real estate market in October 2022...What you need to know... What it means for you...  October 2022 home sales were down year-over-year for a 10th consecutive month. Pending sales were also down year-over-year for a 10th consecutive month. Higher home prices coupled with higher interest rates have impacted affordability and continue to cool buyer demand. Home buyers are frustrated by higher rates, rising home prices, and economic uncertainty. As a result, home sales and mortgage applications have fallen since last year.  As pending sales are a good indicator or future sales and buyer demand, we should expect fewer closed sales in the months to come. Furthermore, the fact that we also see fewer new listings coming on the market indicates Cha...
