As young Charlotteans gear up to buy their first houses, they run into a problem: Nothing in their budget comes without thousands of dollars worth of work to be made livable. And if it does, it’s not close enough to center city, and they’re not looking to trade in their family, friends and short commutes for a home.
Low inventory and more and more people looking to own are driving the strong price appreciation we’re seeing, a representative from Allen Tate told the Agenda, and prices for first homes are on both ends of the spectrum.
“Earlier this year, I had a client buy a fully gutted house in Starmount for $275,000 and comparable, but not updated houses might have been $30,000-$40,000 less,” he said.
Here are five move-in ready properties perfect for smaller budgets that won’t require any work.
