If you are looking at getting a house anytime soon, then this article may be good for you. Homeownership has always been of some importance to me ever since I was a teenager. I have understood the benefits of home ownership ever since receiving my real estate license. Another thing that has gained my interest over the years is understanding different housing markets. I have lived in multiple cities over the last few years and in each city, I have taken interest in their housing market. From different areas in cities, types of housing, pricing, and everything in between.

Go Banking Rates is naming some of the most overpriced housing markets within the U.S. Many of us know that the cost of living is extremely high compared to what it was a few years ago. If you were able to get a house for $250,000 or under, it’s quite possible that you can’t find a house like that at that price anymore. It is quite a drastic difference as the years continue. Although the housing market is calming down a bit, there are many cities where the market continues to be quite hot. One of those cities that made the top of the list is right here in North Carolina.

Charlotte, North Carolina is the #3 city with the most overpriced housing market in the U.S. The average home listing price is $355,613 and the expected home value is $240,670. The fact that Charlotte is #3 on this list should tell you enough. Wondering what other cities made the top 10 list? Check out the full article here.

5 Charlotte Area Neighborhoods Among The 10 Best Places To Buy A House In North Carolina

While there may be a slight improvement it’s still a crazy market to try to buy a home in. The prices seem to stay crazy high, with no end to this housing bubble in sight. I would love to buy my first house, but like many, I simply can’t in this market. And if you are paying these prices you want to make sure you’re buying in the right area. Luckily, Niche.com decided to do the homework to determine the best places to buy a house in North Carolina. They recently released a list of the best places to live in the state, factoring in both cities, suburbs, towns and city neighborhoods.

Charlotte and the surrounding areas were very well represented on this list with five Charlotte neighborhoods making the top 10 places to buy a house. This includes both neighborhoods and suburbs.

“The Best Places to Buy a House ranking provides a comprehensive assessment of the housing and community of an area,” they explain the in the study. “This grade takes into account key factors of a location’s housing market, including home values, taxes, crime rates, and quality of local schools, in an attempt to measure the quality and stability of an area’s real estate market.”

Other factors included in the analysis include home value to income ratio, public school grades, monthly housing costs, the cost of living, the higher education rate, the median home value, and more.

So, are the best places to buy a house in North Carolina? Read on for the top 10 as well as the other Charlotte area neighborhoods. Or you can read the full list via Niche.com.
