You tell me a market that was hit harder than Vegas?

this is a direct relation to lack of inventory.. new construction on many markets is as robust as its ever been.. we have had spectacular years the last 3 years of course during covid was tough with supply chains but my 500k house I am now selling for 700k and my build cost have gone up by maybe 100k.. so record profits for us.. 

Those are some very different markets you listed.

If you're a landlord or investor in the Charlotte area, you might have noticed something unusual in the rental market this winter.

Study the market.

Also in my experience it was a waste of time to send letters or any kind of marketing.
