Shrink Your Competition Pool. Build Custom.
Tired of competing with countless other offers as you bid on homes? Custom building is your solution.
Even as many regions settle back into a balanced real estate market, some cities remain highly competitive for buyers. Low inventory, a growing population, and high prices make it difficult to buy an existing home in Raleigh or Charlotte. Fortunately, there’s another way to enter the market in these thriving cities.
In North Carolina, Competition Remains High
The Triangle is among the top three hottest housing markets in the nation, a recent U.S. News and World Report analysis suggests. While home sales have decreased year over year nationwide, this decrease is smaller in Raleigh than it is on average throughout the U.S., and home prices in Raleigh have increased by over 3%. Similarly, Charlotte home prices are up compared to last year, and many hot homes still see multiple offers.
While some U.S. markets have begun to swing in favor of buyers, these North Carolina cities and their surrounding suburbs maintain a competitive landscape. This makes buyer processes more complex and forces some buyers into undesirable compromises when the home they truly want is nowhere to be found on the existing market.
Population Is Rising in Triangle and Charlotte
In both Raleigh and Charlotte, populations are growing steadily. From the abundance of universities to the various job opportunities available in these hotspots, young people find endless opportunities in North Carolina. Great primary schools and a relatively low cost of living mean families flock to the state in droves as well. Add these factors to the bounty of outdoor activities and the mild climate, and there’s something for everyone in the Tar Heel State. This growth is exciting — but it does come with challenges for hopeful homebuyers.
Custom Building Means Less Competition and Less Compromise
If you’re looking to move to Charlotte or Raleigh or to sell and relocate within these cities, the competition may feel overwhelming. Fortunately, custom building offers a way to compete against a smaller number of people. By purchasing a lot in your dream location and building custom, you avoid the competition for existing homes and skip the compromise.
Instead of letting go of your priorities around location, size, amenities and features, building custom allows you to create the home of your dreams. Whether you need a modern home office or a farmhouse kitchen, you can choose the features of your new home to fit the lifestyle you’ve always dreamed of.
