Charlotte NC Real Estate Snapshot – March 2010

My blog posts over the past week have been merely reporting of certain facts found through diligent internet research – not really! Actually, information easy to find about the housing industry and jobs – if someone choose to look. This is my 4th recession, early 70’s, early 80’s, early 90’s and late 2000 The mild recession in early 2000 was a blip for housing – we should have known then that there was something historically wrong occurring. This recession is different.

My posts although not positive are intended to provide statistics, data and insight on the housing industry (national trends) to assist you in your rebranding, reinventing and re-energizing you and your business.

Each local and regional market is vastly different and it is all too easy to be influenced by national trends when local trends may be remarkably better. As an example – do you have a new housing development or commercial project under construction in your area? Developers and builders are starting projects but not as many as we have been accustomed to over the past 10 years. Oh well. Shake off the national overview and focus on your local market.

Think about how you do what you do differently.

In my opinion, those that become an expert in their local market and use this time to rebrand, reinvent and re-energize themselves will be the leaders others will want to follow.

What are you doing today to help yourself for tomorrow?
