There's a diverse economy with banking, manufacturing, healthcare, tech, real estate, along with other industries, which means the local economy is more robust than what you would find in other parts of the country.CLT has had constant population growth for quite a while, which means continual demand growth for housing.

@Amado Cruz buy when you find a good deal, regardless of where we are in the market cycle, and avoid extremely high cap rate properties unless you like owning Class D (cap rate is a function of risk: the higher it is compared to the market average, the less desirable the property is and the reason for that is usually that it’s in a bad location).

its a robust sellers market in many areas of the country..
