Despite the recent problems with talk about a recession and a pretty dismal looking housing market, there are a few flickers of hope emanating from Charlotte, NC. A recent report in the Wall Street Journal stated that the RPX Monthly Housing Market Report showed that the change in price per square foot for properties varied greatly from city to city. And while the majority of cities across the United States have seen a decrease in the number of people buying houses, Charlotte has actually shown a 3.9% increase in the number of people buying houses over the last year.

So what gives? North Carolina, as a state, has seen a general increase in the number of people moving to a few of it’s cities such as Charlotte, Raleigh, Chapel Hill, Apex and Holly Springs, and why is this? It’s because of opportunity. Charlotte, like Raleigh, NC has seen an increase in the number of people moving in due to a lower cost of living as well as job opportunities. People generally like what cities like Charlotte and Raleigh have to offer in terms of family living, extracurricular activities and the like.

Charlotte is known for its large banking corporations and already has the largest number of people living there out of any other city in North Carolina. The “Queen City,” as it is often referred to, has truly attracted a large following. If you’re looking for things to do while in Charlotte, you can go check out the downtown area, which has had a lot of work done on it to give it a little facelift. You can go to one of the many parks, or if you feel up to it, take a trip out to the mountains (since they’re just next door). There is an endless amount of scenic, fun, historical and enjoyable things for you and your family to enjoy.
