At or above asking price in this market at that price point? Well done.

You apparently haven't been looking.  High demand, very low supply.  Two neighbors of mine have had their house go under contract in 24 hrs, both with multiple offers, within the past 3 weeks.  I paid my house for full asking for mine on same day it was listed (a few months ago).  Market is crazy right now with the low inventory.

Went under contract. If this house "sold" on Friday, it probably went under contract a month or so ago. That was a very different market. Editing to add that it's also a very different story when you're selling well above the median listing price in an area. That market is almost always a buyer's market, even when the overall real estate market it booming. Selling at or above list at well over the million dollar mark in the Charlotte area is damn good work right now. 

People buying right now are making a big mistake. I say this as someone who's set to close as a seller in less than a week. This market is a house of cards propped up with economic bandaids, historically low mortgage rates (that aren't going up anytime soon), and low inventory. Most predictions are that prices will be down 2% this winter but won't be surprised if they're considerably lower than that. In fact, that's exactly what I'm banking on.

That neighborhood is tiny, and tucked into Quail Hollow right next to the middle school. It's a McMansion complex. Nice houses, but not a lot of character, and not walking distance to anything cool other than the Wells Fargo Championship, and that's gone now.

Same, sold at the end of last year for a hefty profit, moved to the Charlotte area and am waiting for it to collapse so I can actually afford a house here.

I'm actually looking to move to a significantly cheaper area, I'm just trying to get a great deal and carry as little debt as possible.

The housing market is insane in Winston at the moment. Houses sold the day the go on the market. I assume Charlotte is not much different.  It's quite competitive. If someone moves in to the area and has money they are likely not wanting to spend it renting for 6 months or a year either and could prefer to put that 10 to 20 plus thousand rent  in to their own property.

Most houses officially selling now went under contract 30-45 days ago. That was a very different market.

    • Also hit the over.  Banking on Man City running up the score and Leeds getting a lucky strike.   
    • Tailed you.  Also Free Play, which is why the risk shows $0.00. Let me look at hoops and get back to you.  Always fade Hubert, haha. 
    • Hard to say right now, but good thinking.  I look at this as the info we need for free agency.  Looks like we are going to free up about $10m so far; watch to see if any contracts (Moehrig, Horn, Brown, etc) are reworked the first week of March.  Then after free agency, we will have a pretty good idea. Right now, to be fair to your question because I am sure you are aware of its timing: In free agency, I see us adding an OT of some sort and drafting one at some point.  It all depends on how they view Ickey, Nijman, and maybe BC.  That OT could be Nijman.  I do not see the future OT--just a stop gap. I see the Panthers signing a free-agent center.  I think the market is strong.  I see Fortner from the Saints as a prime candidate and his salary is estimated at $6m by Spotrac.  the Saints are $42m over the cap, so I doubt they are able to re-sign many of their own.  He will be 28.  I also expect them to re-sign Corbett (depth) at a vet min ($1.5m) deal. I also see free agency as a strong area to get a free safety who can play and is under age 30.  Hawkins, Cook, and Bryant are all around age 27-28, play at a high level, and should be had for about $15m per. EDGE: Arnold Ebiketie is a good value because he gets pressure at a high percentage.  He had 2 sacks and Atlanta just drafted 2 pass rushers last year.   He has a 70+ PFF rating and will (Spotrac) demand about $9m.  While he is not the answer, he is a great third down option with Princely and he would allow for Jones, Scourton, and Princely to develop.
