New & Emerging Developments in and Around Charlotte

New & Emerging Developments in and Around Charlotte

Charlotte, North Carolina is one of the fastest growing places in the country. Not only does the metropolitan area continue to evolve and flourish, but several of Charlotte’s suburbs are nationally ranked in growth rates over the last ten years. A few of these towns have creatively used their history as a springboard for their emerging new image.

Kannapolis is a northern suburb located in Cabarrus county. It is known for being the birthplace of Dale Earnhardt, but the central focus of the town was textiles. Cannon mill was once the world’s largest producer of sheets and towels. After decades of success, the mill closed in 2003 and the downtown found itself virtually vacant. But new life began when most of the mill property was purchased to build the North Carolina Research Campus, home to projects involving eight universities around the state. Plans took shape under the watchful eye of the city council, and in 2018 renovation of the stately brick buildings that once belonged to the mill began in earnest. The city’s minor league baseball team was renamed the Cannonballers, and a new state-of-the-art stadium and workout facility was built as the crown jewel of the downtown, surrounded by boutiques, eateries, breweries, and streetscapes. The main street alongside the ballpark is becoming a thoroughfare for mixed-use spaces, drawing new interest in residing beside or above the new retail hub of Kannapolis. The residential portion of the downtown revitalization is scheduled to be completed in 2023.

Tega Cay is a southern suburb located in York county. In the 1970s it began as a gated community along the shores of Lake Wylie when the purchasing company was inspired to create a community which felt like a permanent vacation spot. Tega Cay means “beautiful peninsula” in Polynesian and now boasts of 13 miles of waterfront. Expanding into a fully governed city in 1982, it has grown from being a small gated community to incorporating the entire peninsula in a resort-like vibe. It has recently been ranked #1 in Best Places to Raise a Family in South Carolina, offering many festivals, concerts and recreational programs to strengthen the community feel. Developers and builders are scrambling to keep up with demands, as the city’s population grew by 62% between the 2010 and 2020 census.

Traits of a Good Tenant

Traits of a Good Tenant

Working as a landlord can be difficult enough, having to market your space, find and manage tenants, and keep the building clean and up to code. There’s a lot of work that goes on behind the scenes. But having a difficult tenant can just make things even more difficult. Whether they’re disruptive to the neighbors or they are consistently late in paying their rent, a problematic tenant can be distracting and stressful.

As long as you have good reasons for your decisions and you’re not breaking any housing discrimination laws, you get to decide who will run out your space. There are a number of things one should do when screening for potential tenants. First, a short list of red flags and things you should probably avoid:

  • Insufficient Income. People should be on the lookout for housing that they can afford on their current income. If the prospective tenant does not make enough to afford your space, then you should probably turn them away. You don’t want the end of the month to arrive and then find that they can’t pay their rent.
  • Prior Evictions. While this isn’t always the case, prior evictions do often indicate problematic behavior or circumstances. Take a look at their rental history, and get references from previous landlords.
  • High maintenance. Everyone is entitled to their own input, but perhaps a prospective tenant seems a bit too particular. This doesn’t bode well for a long-term business relationship between landlord and tenant.

These are things that should be avoided during the screening process. Below is a list of things to look for that may indicate a good tenant:

  • Stable Income. The prospective tenant has a steady job with reliable income. It’s recommended that landlords look for an income that is 2-3 times the rental fee. That way, there shouldn’t be any late payments or requests for an extension on the payment due.
  • Polite & Respectful. During your interview, observe how they conduct themselves and how they interact with the people you come into contact with. Are they friendly and polite? This is a good indicator that they won’t disrupt the neighbors or cause any damage to your property.
  • No Eviction History. Be sure to get references during the screening process. If they have no prior history of eviction, then it’s safe to assume that they haven’t caused any issues.

The important thing is to ask the right questions and follow your intuition. Build good rapport with your tenants, and you’ll get along nicely. For more tips and tricks on the housing market and the responsibilities of a landlord, follow the Talley Properties blog.

New Developments in Charlotte

New Developments in Charlotte

Although not the capital of North Carolina, Charlotte has been nicknamed the Queen City. It’s big, it’s bold, it’s diverse, it’s fast-paced, and it’s growing. If you’ve ever been downtown, you’ll know that the skyline almost always shares its attractive silhouette with cranes and other construction machinery.

Charlotte is constantly under development, adding new buildings, new spaces, and new opportunities all the time. In fact, we’ve discussed some of the upcoming construction and development projects in a previous post, but there was simply too much to cover. Let us introduce you to a few more exciting prospects that you can look forward to in the years to come.

  • Lowe’s Tech Center. Charlotte’s South End will see construction of a new 23-story office building, commissioned by Lowe’s retail. The company is looking to expand their IT department, and these office spaces will allow for the growth they want.
  • The Square. The Square at South End is actually a multipurpose plaza. The Square combines a new office building, restaurant and café, retail shops, and quick access to Wilmore Centennial Park. Overall, it’s certain to be a hub of activity, situated in one of Charlotte’s most vibrant neighborhoods.
  • Centre South. Much like The Square, Centre South promises a bit of everything for everyone. Centre South will offer high-class residential spaces and amenities to match, as well as office spaces and access to the brand-new Centre Park. Of course, location is everything, and Centre South will offer quick access to local restaurants, entertainment, and other activities.
  • Duke Energy Plaza. Duke Energy has announced plans for a new corporate headquarters in Uptown Charlotte. This is all part of the company’s long-term plans to consolidate and reduce their footprint by over 50%. Once completed, the tower situated on the plaza will be one of the tallest in the city, and across the state, at 40 stories tall.

Looking at this list, it’s clear to see that the South End is the next up-and-coming neighborhood, with ambitious visions for the future of Charlotte’s infrastructure and a bold redefinition of the city skyline. Whether you’re a Charlotte native or you’re looking to move in, there’s never been a better time to be a part of the Queen City.

If you’re looking to learn even more about the upcoming development projects underway in the downtown area, you can find any previous posts on our blog. And that’s not all!

Things to Consider During Summer

Things to Consider During Summer

The temperature has continued its unsteady upward climb, the leaves have returned to the trees, and you got all that Spring cleaning out of the way. For many, this is the time of year for fresh starts, when you start looking outward at all the possibilities that the season holds. But for many people, early Summer is a time for buying and/or selling their homes as teachers, students, and families transition into new circumstances.

Summertime is notorious for its rental boom, due to an influx of homes and apartments flooding the market as people move in and out. Realtors are slammed as some help clients sell their home, while others find a new one that meets the buyer’s wish list. It’s a busy time of transition, and everyone seems to be hanging on with white knuckles. Let us help with that! Below, we’ll discuss a few tips and tricks to help you get a leg up as you enter the wild world of real estate this Spring.

  1. When seeking a new home, hopefully you have an idea of exactly what you want. You must do your own research ahead of time so that you know what to look for when the time comes. Everything from the number of bedrooms and bathrooms to the amenities, to its proximity to classes. Prioritize your wish list so you can distinguish between make-or-break items and nice-to-have amenities.
  2. Be Prepared. The rental market is fast-paced and often cutthroat, especially in the Summer. If you find your ideal sublease or rental, don’t wait to express your interest or even make an offer, it may not be available for long. This is why prior research will come in handy. That way, you’ll know what to look for when the opportunity presents itself and you won’t feel like you’re making an impulse buy.
  3. Go to a Property Management Service. A little help never hurt anyone. These services house a lot of information about local availability and costs on the rental market, so they’re your best bet when it comes to finding the perfect place for you.

If you’re searching for a new rental and you find yourself caught up in the rush of the season, just remember the tips above. Talley Properties is here to help!

In shaky economy, renting increasingly tops owning

In shaky economy, renting increasingly tops owning

It's an ideal time to buy a home, but many potential buyers in Sioux Falls are forgoing home ownership and the American dream.

Instead, despite historically low interest rates, a drop in home prices and an ample inventory of houses to chose from, many are opting for short-term rental agreements.

Some question whether there's still value in owning a home .

Others say the popularity of renting is a trend that will be a short-lived function of economic uncertainty. Many potential first-time homebuyers don't want to be tied down to a home. They don't know whether the future will bring a pay raise or a layoff. So they opt for an apartment or town home.

The trend of renting will turn around eventually, but it's going to be slow, said Michael Roach, assistant professor of economics at the University Center and Dakota State University.

"That's a short-lived phenomenon we're experiencing simply because of where the housing market has gone for a couple of years," he said. "(Homeownership) is still the American dream; people still want homes. People still want to own their own home, but they want to do it in an environment that makes economic sense."

As the local economy grows and adds jobs, and as new businesses pop up, Roach said home ownership will pick up.

"Especially for younger people, younger families, nobody likes uncertainty when they're dealing with that amount of money. It's the biggest investment most people will make in their lives," he said. "People are gun-shy still, and it's going to take a little while to get over that."

Fear is the No. 1 reason for the shift from home ownership to renting, said Tony Ratchford of the Ratchford Group with Hegg Realtors.

He said although home inventory has dropped in Sioux Falls, and business is better than last year, it's not as good as he had hoped. He's had clients who sold homes and moved into rental properties to get out from under some debt. He also owns five rental properties that he said he gets calls about weekly.

"It's just been absolute fear. ... They just don't have confidence in the economy," he said. "People were careful with their money. They realized the cost of gas, cost of food and have a fear of the economics of the world that brought them to the realization to pay off debt, pay off credit cards and just hunker down a little and make life cheaper."
Ratchford said he thinks Sioux Falls has hit bottom and predicts things will pick up by summer. At that time, he said the market will be more balanced, home values will increase, rentals will be mostly full and prices will be up. People will realize it's cheaper to buy than rent.

"The American dream of owning your own home, it's such a great investment, but the last three or four years we haven't seen that," he said. "Some people are questioning whether or not there's any value in owning a house anymore. I know there is, and long term it's going to be a big deal. It's part of the cycle of what happens when you have a down dip."

Kayla Pederson, 27, never has owned a home, and said financially, she can't buy a house now. This month, she moved into a two-bedroom apartment with her 4-year-old son after living with a friend and saving money.

"These days, it's more common. I'm hearing friends and acquaintances move in with friends or parents to catch up until they're ready to get out on their own," she said.

Pederson recently moved back to Sioux Falls from Colorado. Although she has a degree in business management, she was unemployed for more than two months before she was hired as an IT support technician in June. She plans to own a home someday but said renting is the best option now.

Pederson passed on buying a foreclosed home in the Denver area. She's glad she did.

"With the economy, you could get more bang for your buck, but when we had time to think about it, we decided renting was a better option," she said. "I knew eventually I was going to be moving back home."

Matt Larson, president of the Realtors Association of the Sioux Empire, said pending home sales were up 16 percent in October compared with last October. Pending sales this year are up 0.9 percent. New listings and inventory are down.

Larson said people remain cautious.

"It should start improving in 2012, and I think we're going to lead the country out of it in the Midwest, because we didn't have the terrible downside," he said. "I think we're going to outperform most markets."
Rental vacancies in Sioux Falls are at an all-time low of 4.58 percent, said Dan Siefken, executive director of the South Dakota Multi-Housing Association. That's the lowest the organization has seen since it began the vacancy survey in 1996, he said.

It's also down substantially from a record-high of 13.28 percent in January 2010.

"I think (apartment living) is back in vogue," he said. "People went through a period of time where they were sold on the fact that home ownership was for everybody and that you were throwing your money away if you rented. Now they're realizing that renting is a good bargain."

Siefken said the high vacancy rates of 2010 can be attributed largely to the first-time homebuyer tax credit perks. Now, he said, renters are finding a savings in renting when they don't have to pay property tax, maintenance, insurance, lawn care and snow removal and other costs.

Today's renters don't want homeowner costs, but they do want more than a couple bedrooms, a bathroom and a kitchen. They want units with dishwashers and a washer and dryer. They want complexes with heated garages or underground parking, fitness facilities, pools and Jacuzzis, Siefken said.

"They're pretty much must-haves," he said. "Those apartments are getting harder and harder to find; those complexes have almost zero vacancy."

Angie Stingley, manager for Boulder Creek and Boulder Pointe Townhomes, said she has 184 units and expects one vacancy this month. She said if there is a vacancy, it doesn't last long.

The Dunham Co. will start construction next spring on a 262-unit apartment complex on South Grange Avenue. CEO Don Dunham expects it to be ready for tenants next fall.

"The old days of Section 8 housing and 4-plexes, that's not good enough for young professionals today," he said. "If you make enough money, you want to live someplace nice, but that doesn't mean you want to buy a house."

That's why Dunham hasn't built any single-family homes in more than two years. There's no demand.

He said the company used to have 40 to 50 spec homes for sale at all times throughout the area that includes Sioux Falls, Dakota Dunes, Yankton and Elk Point. Dunham said the company has about 150 lots fully developed and ready for single-family homes, but there's no plans for buildings.

"We're just trying to liquidate what we still have," Dunham said. "There is no demand. People are seeing that a home is not the deal it used to be anyway."

Rental Prices Soaring as Home Values Stay Low

Rental Prices Soaring as Home Values Stay Low

Foreclosure Deals, a leading provider of foreclosure listings, news and information, has released new research on home prices and rent values across the nation. Drawn on data collected from regional and local real estate markets, the numbers demonstrate the relationship between the average cost of rent and the average cost of a home purchase in each state, which can help homebuyers choose the best markets in which to invest.

"Foreclosures have had a huge impact on home values," remarked John Evan Miller, a real estate analyst with Foreclosure Deals. "In almost every market, prices are well below their 2008 values, simply because there are so many homes available."

Foreclosure Deals presents the new data compared with values recorded in 2008 using an infographic available on their web site, and the impact of the foreclosure wave is clear. In many areas, home prices are extremely low, while rent prices are notably higher.

"Rents are up, and they're going to stay up," said Miller. "Even though it's the best market for homebuyers we've seen in over a decade, the recession made a lot of people reconsider spending at the time, so they rented. This drove up demand, and prices, for rental properties."

Despite the sluggish economy, Miller points out that this is the perfect market for real estate investment. He adds that mortgage interest rates are also at historic lows, creating other opportunities for value investing.

"Not only do you have rock bottom prices, you've got a terrific market to rent out your property while you wait for prices to rise. And they will rise. Home values will come back, but the days of 3.5% and 4% mortgages aren't going to be around forever. Once home values rise, those interest rates will rise too."

Experts currently predict average rental costs to be 4.5% higher than by the end of 2011 than their value last year, and up another 3% in 2012. In contrast, foreclosure homes currently offer savings of anywhere from 10% to 50% off market value. As buyers who put off buying a home during the recession look to start buying again once the economy improves, it will create the opportunity for big profits for foreclosure investors.

"In a great many cases, you're going to end up paying less on a monthly mortgage payment if you buy a home than you would in rent on the same property," said Miller. "Could there be a better reason to buy than that?"
