Zillow has ranked Charlotte, North Carolina, among the hottest real estate markets in the
country for 2023. In fact, according to the list, the Queen City takes first place for the calendar
year, sitting just above other cities such as Cleveland and Dallas. Part of the reason for such high
numbers and explosive growth is the suburban towns and cities surrounding Charlotte.
While the downtown area is thriving, people often flock to the suburbs to settle down or
raise a family. That’s not to say that the suburbs are stagnant. Far from it, in fact. Many suburbs
in the Charlotte area are undergoing enormous growth and revitalization, contributing to the
city’s status as the hottest US real estate market.
