The Charlotte Metro real estate market is still in a good place, especially compared with other markets.  Many things have contributed to the steady nature of our market, such as the growing number of businesses located in the area.  With companies like Wachovia and Bank of America expanding, employment rates in the area have remained steady.  Another positive factor is the relatively low cost of living in the
Charlotte area, which continually brings in more people relocating. 

          So what does this mean for buyers and sellers in the area?  Well, median sales prices were up 11% from 2006 to 2007, and days on the market are still reasonably low, with on average a home being listed for 97 days in January 2008.
