Charlotte's Housing Market in the Spotlight: Zillow Ranks City in Top 10 for 2024

CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Jan. 23, 2024 - PRLog -- Henderson Investment Group, a real estate investment and property management leader, proudly announces Charlotte's significant ranking as one of Zillow's top 10 hottest housing markets for 2024. Clinching the No. 7 spot, the Queen City continues to demonstrate remarkable growth in the real estate sector, driven by a steady increase in home values and robust economic indicators.

Key Market Insights and Charlotte's Positioning

Zillow's latest housing market analysis is grounded in a multifaceted evaluation of housing market dynamics. Key factors influencing Charlotte's ranking include a 1.2% predicted growth in home values across the city, notably contributing to its overall appeal for real estate investment.

Solid economic fundamentals, a vibrant labor market, and burgeoning construction activities characterize Charlotte's market dynamics. In 2024, the average home value in Charlotte is projected to hover around $368,000, signaling a healthy and appreciating real estate market.

Given the city's historical performance, this value represents a significant milestone - scaling from the No. 1 position in 2023 to No. 2 in 2022.

Statistical Overview and Economic Correlations

The inclusion of Charlotte in this elite category by Zillow is underpinned by a comprehensive analysis that includes forecasted home value growth, housing market velocity, changes in the labor market, and home construction activity.

However, the supply of homes has only marginally kept pace with this demand, leading to a competitive housing market scenario.

Henderson Investment Group's analysis indicates that while the average home in the Charlotte metro area currently sells within 26 days, this is subject to market fluctuations influenced by broader economic trends. As Freddie Mac reported, mortgage rates show a downward trend, with average 30-year fixed-rate mortgages at approximately 6.62%, down from a peak of 7.79% in October 2023.

Brandon Davis of Henderson Investment Group, elaborates on the implications of these statistics for investors and homebuyers: "Charlotte's ranking is more than just a number; it reflects the city's growing potential as a hotspot for real estate investment. Our in-depth analysis shows that while the market remains competitive, opportunities abound for strategic investment, particularly in light of the forecasted growth and stabilizing mortgage rates."
