Or good credit and 15 to 20% downpayment is King too!&amp;nbsp; There are plenty of deals to be found in the South Charlotte area and if you want to find them, all you have to do is look.&amp;nbsp; Right now banks are dealing and they do not want to hold onto the properties that they&amp;#39;ve had to take back.&amp;nbsp; In the Ballantyne, Marvin, Weddington, Arboretum, Park Road and even the SouthPark areas there are bank foreclosure homes for sale.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;ve been selling real estate in Charlotte for 18 years and everytime there is a slow down like this, it&amp;#39;s an opportunity. Charlotte&amp;#39;s real estate market has always had ebb and flows.&amp;nbsp; There hasn&amp;#39;t been a time I&amp;#39;ve experienced it to tank.&amp;nbsp; I look at it like the stock brokers do,&amp;quot;future earnings are a reflection of past results.&amp;quot; Charlotte has always had steady results with hills and valleys, but not sink holes.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;There are plenty of upscale homes for sale that are affordable now.&amp;nbsp; These homes held by the banks are the best to go after.&amp;nbsp; On average if you make a decent offer, the banks will work with you here, as long as you are solid.&amp;nbsp; If you&amp;#39;re trying to move up in order to gain 1000 more square feet but you have to sell your house first, &amp;quot;forget about it&amp;quot;...as some of our new residents from the north would say.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you want to find bank foreclosures, go to this hyperlink &lt;a href="http://121space.com/index.php?s=765026bc958358cf920b7b93781dd57b&amp;amp;showtopic=22401&amp;amp;pid=23026&amp;amp;st=0&amp;amp;#entry23026" title="Bank Owned Property Search"&gt;BankOwnedProperty&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;This link has a list of banks home search websites. All you need to do is go to the sites and search for the city to find bank owned property for sale.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you can, don&amp;#39;t let this opportunity slip by.&amp;nbsp; When the market turns around, Charlotte home prices will most likely do what they have been for the past 5 years, go up.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Please contact me if you want a Bulldog to negotiate for you in the South Charlotte area.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Good Luck!&lt;img src="http://www.southcharlotteproperties.net/emoticons/emotion-21.gif" alt="Yes" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;William&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.southcharlotteproperties.net/aggbug.aspx?PostID=255120" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
