Charlotte, The Reigning Queen of the South!
All year we have heard about the bubble bursting. It's scary to think that the economy has placed all it's consumer eggs in one basket. A sigh of relieve for us Charlotteans', the real estate market shows no such evidence, here in Charlotte we have not experienced slow downs as compared to the Northeast, California or Florida. Why some area's are seller markets, due to limited inventory of homes.

In Charlotte whole neighborhoods are purchased and are being re-developed, it is a big change in the way they used to look. We only have to look towards our ever changing skyline. Investor and new industries are moving into the area. Baby boomers heading for that retirement ranch are now calling Charlotte home. Why? because it's ideal, mild climate, city sophistication, life-style options; yes it's not so long ago Charlotte was quite a different type of town. We now have hub's in the outer areas (Fort Mill, Tega Cay, Lake Wylie, Ballantyne, Lake Norman, University area), where one can catch a movie, dine on classy cuisine and shop chic boutiques. Our communities are still evolving, some areas are on the fast track and other are trying to play catch-up. What will our city look like in another 10 years?
