Looking to build a home

[Joshua Martin]

Hello,

I am looking to transition to the Charlotte, NC area. Main problem is none of the home on market fit our needs/wants. I am in contact with a realtor in NC and was informed that builders there will not build without a budget of at least 1million. Wondering if anyone has insight on that. My budget is around 550k

Hi Joshua,

It really depends on your situation and your specific needs/wants. Are you looking for custom, semi-custom or spec homes? The average sale price for all new construction homes in the Charlotte region was $488k as of December 2024, so nothing less than $1 million is 100% false. However, the Charlotte region is a very large area, and pricing varies drastically depending on what sub-market you are looking at. Happy to help point you in the right direction and give my insight if you want to shoot me a message.

Best of luck!
