The real estate market has been all over the map, today sales figures are looking good

Up, down, sideways, back and forth, it sounds like a game of hopscotch but is actually the way the economy, recession and the Charlotte real estate market have been moving. Mastering what is going on has had experts and professionals confounded, wondering how we can all come out ahead of the game. There is one aspect that most can agree on, good news is great to hear.

Today’s national headlines show that real estate contracts are up in volume. The good news is for housing affected stocks, as they increased in price. Some believe that the Spring buying season is starting early and it is good news for Charlotte, including homes near Freedom Park or homes in Dilworth and Cotswold. December has rarely, if ever, thought of as a Spring month but December showed that the Pending Home Sales Index is up over 10%.

There is no doubt that the local real estate market is faring better than a year ago. To continue coming out ahead job growth needs to improve, interest rates need to remain low and consumer confidence has to continue growing. So far 2010 is looking better than 2009 and I anticipate real estate sales, particularly homes for sale in Charlotte neighborhoods, will continue to rise.

Whether one is in favor of this modern growth or prefer the quaint, tree-lined 1920s style homes in these Charlotte, NC neighborhoods, the Myers Park High School, a renowned International Baccalaureate school, remains one of the highest-ranking in the nation and helps to make this whole area very desirable. Additionally, with two of the best hospitals serving homes near Freedom Park and the neighborhoods of Myers Park, Dilworth and more, Presbyterian Hospital or Carolina’s Medical Center provide a much sought-after benefit of the community.

With excellent schools, beautiful homes in Myers Park, Dilworth and Eastover, homes near Freedom Park have a fabulous location. Location, location, location remains a strong mantra in real estate for people looking for value. Additionally, there are many events and activities held at Freedom Park throughout the year that create even more of a neighborhood feel and make it a fun area to live too.

An example is “Beach Party,” which was held at the band shell beside the lake in Freedom Park, by the Mecklenburg County Park and Recreation in June 2009. There were many fun activities for all the families and it is a FREE event to the public. Another is the Festival in the Park, established in 1964, which is an event designed to promote and stimulate interest in the arts. Over 100,000 visitors typically attend this festival each year and 72% of those participants live within Charlotte’s city limits. The 46th Festival in the Park from September 23-26, 2010 will bring together those living in these surrounding Charlotte, NC neighborhoods.

Although not within the renowned Uptown part of Charlotte, the convenience of the location covering both the Dilworth and Myers Park neighborhoods is unparalleled. Indisputably, many find homes near Freedom Park – with a wide range of styles – some of the loveliest available in this part of the city. The close proximity to the city center and the small town feel of Myers Park make it an excellent location to own a home. With quaint English Tudor or classic Colonial homes, Myers Park is one of the most exclusive areas of Charlotte, NC real estate market.
