Most people taking several months to find homes so start early. Wow, some of those numbers are crazy. Not likely to get better quickly, as some building materials like wood and PVC are through the roof in cost right now. The cost of new homes is up several thousand dollars for that reason alone.

KJHburg 66038 Report post Posted October 13 Charlotte is both on the top 25 list of places to live and to retire. Being on both lists shows how desirable it is to live in the Charlotte region. On the retirement side I would say these factors close to the mountains and the ocean with the negatives of both (cold, snow, hurricanes, higher insurance rates) and great health care and moderate cost of living. https://www.bizjournals.com/charlotte/news/2020/10/13/charlotte-among-best-places-to-live-in-new-ranking.html 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KJHburg 66038 Report post Posted October 13 (edited) Good news sublease office space is not piling up like in other cities here in Charlotte. Lots of sublease space means lower rents for office space which in turns leads to less new office buildings. Look at Austin and Nashville for example. Nashville is smaller office market than Charlotte and Austin is roughly the same size. https://www.us.jll.com/en/views/snapshots/charlotte-snapshot-10-12 Edited October 13 by KJHburg 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KJHburg 66038 Report post Posted November 21 Good news film activity is picking up in the Tar Heel State due to leaving large cities. In fact a GM commercial was just filmed in the OBX over the new Oregon Inlet Bridge and most car commercials are filmed in LA or San Fran. https://www.wfae.org/business/2020-11-19/film-producers-eye-nc-as-pandemic-rages-elsewhere-says-film-office Tomorrow night on Hallmark the Charlotte filmed "Nashville Christmas Carol" is being shown. Make it a drinking game if you wish take a swig of something everytime a Charlotte landmark or house is shown. I think you will see NASCAR Plaza, homes in Cotwold and Huntersville and Blumenthal. 3 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
