Charlotte NC Short Sales

What is a Charlotte NC short sale?

A short sale means selling your property for less amount than what you actually owe on your mortgage.

Now, this is not a rock bottom real estate situation, most experts say it is a lot smarter than pursuing more serious measures like foreclosure or bankruptcy. If you can’t find the relevance of this, you may be surprised to read these benefits:

• Your credit will not be hurt as much as it will be with a foreclosure.
• You will be able to apply for a loan to buy a new home much sooner with a short sale than with a foreclosure.
• You will be able to stay in your home until you close on the short sale.
• All of your closing costs including the real estate commissions will need to be approved by your mortgage lender because they are the ones taking the loss. So they want to make sure they mitigate the loss as much as they can.

You will need the advice, support, and negotiation skills of a short sale expert like Nancy Braun, Broker/Owner of Showcase Realty in Charlotte NC.

How to qualify for a Charlotte NC Short Sale

Not all homeowners can qualify for a short sale. Let’s check some of the guidelines so you can determine if you can take advantage of this option:

1. Your property is under water. Your property’s worth has to be less than your loan outstanding balance. We can provide a free home valuation so you will know how much your home is worth!
2. Mortgage in or near default status. If you’ve missed payments, and you’ve explored other options, such as a loan modification, and you still don’t have a resolution, then call me for a totally confidential phone consultation. We will go through your options together.
3. You’ve proven financial difficulties.  You must be able to submit a “letter of hardship” explaining why you can’t continue paying and why you won’t be able to pay the difference when you sell your property.

Examples of financial hardships:

• Illness
• Divorce
• Death
• Loss of job

Doing a Short Sale May Test Your Patience

As we work together, we will inevitably receive crazy and ridiculous lowball offers. The most important decision that you need to make is to “make a decision”. Do not avoid confronting the financial consequences of defaulting on your mortgage.

Consider all options available and when none of them will work, you will get the assistance that you deserve as you move forward from this chapter in your life. We’re excited to see you unfold better opportunities in the future! Check our proven track record and you’ll see we know the short sale process!

Find Out Why Charlotte is 2017’s 2nd Fastest-Growing Large City in America

The Queen City did it again!

Being in second place has never been this awesome especially if it means second among the fastest-growing in the nation.

The brains behind the free consumer tools producing research reports and surveys, WalletHub, conducted a comprehensive analysis using 15 key indicators. They spearheaded this study after experiencing several hurricanes over these past months, and to find out which has the fastest local economic growth survival and they involved 515 cities in the US with deviating population sizes.

These best practices stood out allowing WalletHub to clearly see which factors constitute the inevitable success of these cities which helped them stand the test of time. Charlotte is at number 2.

What are the key indicators that made Charlotte a winner?

Some of the metrics they have calculated and weighed are :

1. Growth in Number of Businesses (# 1)
2. Population Growth (# 41)
3. Job Growth (# 17)
4. Working-age Population Growth (# 35)
5. Regional Gross Domestic Product Growth (# 148)

(1 = fastest-growing)

Charlotte’s huge estimated population of 842,051 has served the city its purpose by becoming the second of the largest cities with the highest growth and also getting the 20th spot in the over-all ranking. WalletHub defines that any community with more than 300,000 people is considered a large population. We’re not the only one who can see that Charlotte’s trend which has gone up a notch from last year’s conducted study will be a ladder-like success and we couldn’t be more proud of our city.

Why are people moving to Charlotte instead of other cities?

The fast economic development is inviting and spreading throughout the state. While some people will have to worry about the traffic and the possibility of city congestion, retailers and big companies continue to expand.

Here are my top 5 picks why I suggest that you seriously consider joining us:

> Charlotte has become a major US financial capital. This is the home of Bank of America, Citi, JP Morgan, Ally Financial, and Wells Fargo which center their operations here. The exclusive employment offered by these most successful banks play a major part why this city’s population continues to soar. Look at the number one spot for this year’s growth in businesses and you will only see one name.

> The quality of education is exceptional. More than a dozen of our schools have been given top rankings by Newsweek’s Top High Schools in America. We have 38 colleges and universities to choose from.

> Affordable living options. Residents are given a variety of housing options. You can get a lot more for your money. A typical detached residence with 3 beds, 2 baths goes for around $250,000.

> Like most cities, Charlotte has numerous neighborhoods in different parts of the city and each of them is unique. You can divide them into categories of historic homes, artsy and eclectic neighborhood, urban living, country club feel and those which have easy rail access. Take your pick!

> People like to call it the “fitness community”. We have myriad offerings of physical activities like runs, races, and yoga. The Thunder Road is the yearly half and full marathon which we hold.

It’s easy to see and understand why Charlotte always feels like a young and thriving city. There’s no reason for you not to join the ranks. Connect with me, Nancy Braun, at 704-997-3794 when you’re in town!

How to Price Your Charlotte NC Home Correctly

When it comes to selling your home, one of the crucial decisions you have to make is setting the right listing price.

The listing price is one of the first things that buyers will see when looking at your property online. It will serve as their basis in comparing your home to other Charlotte NC homes they are considering. The success of your home sale will depend largely on the price that you set.

Most sellers tend to make the mistake of overpricing their homes. Perhaps it is due to their emotional attachment to the property, or their intent on recovering their return-on-investment.

Overpriced homes languish on the market and they tend to lose the freshness of the home’s appeal after the first two or three weeks of showings. On the other hand, a lower priced home may sell quickly but the seller will end up with less money than he thinks his home is worth.

So how you can get the highest possible price for your home within a reasonable timeframe?

You have to start by striking a balance between overpriced and lower priced homes while considering yours and the customer’s side. Keep in mind that correctly priced homes sell faster than those that are not.

Here are other factors that you have to look into when determining your home’s listing price.

The home’s market value

When setting the price for your home, you shouldn’t let your emotions get in the way. Otherwise, you’ll end up with an overpriced home.

Having a  clear understanding of your home’s  true market value is the first step in establishing your list price. Market value is how much a home would sell for under normal conditions. This can be evaluated through a comparative market analysis (CMA).

The competition

The competition also plays an important role in determining your home’s listing price. Buyers will compare your home to other similar Charlotte NC homes for sale in your area.

This is where your real estate agent comes in. Your agent will provide you with a CMA which contains the comparables close to your neighborhood. To create a CMA, your real estate agent will look at the price of recently sold, active, and expired listings that are similar to your home.

A CMA includes active listings which refer to the homes currently for sale and pending listings which are homes under contract. It will also include homes in and near your area which were sold in the past three to six months.

Remember not to price your home above the pending list prices, or your property will stay on the market longer.

Market condition

It’s essential to know your home’s market when selling your home. There are three kinds of markets – Seller, Buyer And Neutral.

The seller’s market, also known as the hot market, happens when there are more buyers than available houses to buy. Serious buyers are often willing to pay more than the listing price. In a seller’s market, you can probably sell your home quickly and quite possibly for more than you ask for it.

The buyer’s market is the opposite of the seller’s market and is also known as the cold market. In this kind of market, there are more homes available for sale than buyers to purchase them. Buyers have more homes to choose from and homes tend to stay on the market longer. Be ready to lower your price if you want to sell your home fast in such a market.

The neutral or balanced market happens when there are relatively similar numbers of sellers to buyers, sale prices that are close to closing prices, and listings are on the market for about a month or a month and a half.

Incentives

Offering incentives is another pricing strategy that can help sell your home quickly and for a higher price. You may add on to the price of your home depending on the incentives you offer.
