Market is Improving!!!

Inventory is down from 6 months ago, and more importantly, "under contract" listings (as a percentage of overall) are up! Over the past 6 months, the average percentage of listings (houses + condos) under contract has been 12.87%. Today, it's over 14%!
It will get better for everyone in Charlotte. We have to maintain the course and keep our outlooks up and positive.

Lights Out in Charlotte Saturday, March 28th

Everyone likes to feel as if we are contributing to this planet of ours. Well, we all have a chance this weekend. Charlotte will be one of thousands of cities participating in Earth Hour this Saturday, March 28, in an effort to promote energy awareness.
Earth Hour asks people to turn off the lights for an hour – but save energy all the time.
At 8:30 p.m. Saturday, nonessential lights will be doused at the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Government Center, the Education Center, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police headquarters, Duke Energy and at least some uptown towers, including Gateway Village, Charlotte Plaza and the Carillon.
A number of other government buildings will do the same. Charlotte Center City Partners is asking uptown businesses and residents to join in.

Briarcreek Sewerage project

the Briarcreek Sewerage project is really dragging on. Michael Baker has been shut down for months... :(

Ghazi Project

Ghazi Project (rezoning petition #2007-053), located at the corner of Fairview Road and Wintercrest Lane
Where the project stands:
A revised Ghazi project was approved on 7/2/07. Due to strong opposition from residents, the project's height was reduced from 22 stories to 10 stories.
The 3 acre site will be developed for luxury condominiums scattered in 3 buildings with staggered heights of 10, 6 and 3 stories.
Construction will begin late 2008.
