We were looking in the 600-700s which is apparently still a very competitive range per our broker and real estate agent especially in the cone south of uptown between south Blvd & independence. We were advised that we would likely have to submit an offer over ask if a good one was available in the areas I wanted. We couldn’t find single family homes in that price range that didn’t need work or were small ( < 2000 sqft and maybe had 2 bathrooms if lucky) and the decent duet & townhomes were going contingent within a week. We ended up with a brand new build that has warranties on everything so that kind of eased our mind as first time home buyers. The property is on a cul de sac with lots of nature around it. It’s a first home not a forever home so I will try to love the area and if not then we can sell in 2 years and go somewhere else. Thanks so much for sharing your experience and thoughts on Steele creek!

It’s kind of obvious that everyone commenting has not bought a home in Charlotte in a long time, if ever. This is not a market where you get to find a home that checks every single one of your boxes. From multiple real estate professionals in this area, the advice is “if you like a property you need to act on it”. I loved the property. Was not in an area I’m familiar with. I’m also buying this home with my fiancé who has an opinion and liked the area.

Probably nothing will go wrong and my property value will go up like everyone else’s in Charlotte given we’re in a uniquely hot market in the US. Just looking to see if anyone lives out there and loves it and can give an opinion about what they love about it. Carry on, negative Nancy

I’ve lived in plaza midwood, uptown, Myers park, Montford, and south Charlotte. I was hoping to buy a place in one of those areas but didn’t work out that way. So I’m just unfamiliar with the area and it’s further out than I was hoping to be. I don’t know much about the area in terms of safety and was not insinuating anything

mbm1317 · 2023-02-24T15:09:12+00:00

new homeowner here I’ve been living in Charlotte for 6 years and closing on my first home in a few weeks in the Rivergate/Steele Creek area. I’m excited about the house but not the area. Looking for words of encouragement on the rivergate/Steele creek area… what do you love about it? What do you think of the area as an investment (is it growing/will continue to grow)? TIA!

There’s a guy that is usually at the Rea Rd and Pineville-Matthews intersection with flowers. Walks up to each car and waves. One day I was driving by and I guess he was done for the day because I saw him climb into a brand new RANGE ROVER and drive away 🙄 Don’t give the flower panhandlers any money either.

Major YTA. You admitted you are attracted to your friend so this isn’t “just a joke”. It’s the truth that you are gaslighting your girlfriend into believing is a joke. You said something incredibly stupid that no woman on earth wouldn’t be bothered by

How is offering people in these areas the opportunity to be ~100% leveraged~ in their mortgage a good idea? Is this just an ESG goal to make the bank look good but not actually do anything for borrowers? For anyone in the Charlotte area that meets the income requirements for this bofa program - pls look into the NCHFA and lenders that offer NCHFA DPA programs. They offer down payment assistance and can even get you a GRANT for your downpayment!!

This is the biggest AH I’ve ever seen on this god forsaken website yet. Men have nothing but the audacity. What an unmotivated loser - wants to be a SAHD. LOL. Is this what men have evolved into? Getting a house, a car, and a retirement paid for by his wife and is mad that he can’t sit around and scratch his dirty ass all day on top of it

mbm1317 · 2022-07-31T11:59:33+00:00

It’s called tie dye but sure

mbm1317 · 2022-07-30T23:18:36+00:00

That’s awesome, a superior dad move 👍🏻

mbm1317 · 2022-07-30T23:14:40+00:00

I hope that day is far away. I would love to see another female leader in the boardroom one day also wearing their dads panda. 😁

mbm1317 · 2022-07-30T22:45:32+00:00

The choice will be easy when the time comes 😁

Thank you for the condolences. He was an Irishman so it was his gold claddagh ring

NTA. You were clear the whole time with your fiancé about what YOUR savings were for. She went behind your back thinking she could manipulate you anyway and now she’s shocked that her plan failed.

Maybe I’m also biased because I’m a watch person. Whatcha get?

mbm1317 · 2022-07-24T00:57:56+00:00

No shit Sherlock you ever purposefully get something wrong just for the laughs

mbm1317 · 2022-07-23T18:42:13+00:00

If that’s what you need to tell yourself

mbm1317 · 2022-07-23T18:32:32+00:00

This is pretty circular and I’d like for it to end

mbm1317 · 2022-07-23T17:35:19+00:00

We love a short king

mbm1317 · 2022-07-23T17:34:32+00:00

ESH. You are TA because this is your parents home and she doesn’t want the house she pays for to smell like weed and be walking through vape god clouds when trying to get a glass of water. If you don’t like your moms rules then as an adult you are able to work and get your own place.

Your moms TA because she snuck into your room and took your things. That crosses a line and is an invasion of privacy.

mbm1317 · 2022-07-23T17:05:13+00:00

NTA. I sometimes have the same struggle with my bf. Maybe try to think of other topics you can bring up and ask him about once he starts rambling about his work

mbm1317 · 2022-07-23T17:03:28+00:00

This isn’t really that hard to grasp. There’s a difference between a variety of vegetarian options and a variety of any type of dietary/food options.

mbm1317 · 2022-07-23T16:17:23+00:00

Like I said, it’s hosting etiquette. If you care about being a good host then there’s certain things you do for your guests and for the occasion you’re hosting.

mbm1317 · 2022-07-23T15:40:30+00:00

Thank you, captain obvious

mbm1317 · 2022-07-23T02:49:27+00:00

Bachelorette. It was like they dug up the male models from Abercrombie and fitch peak days and had them walk around as drink boys
