Get the bulldozer ready. Here’s a sample of just how valuable land is in Charlotte’s hot neighborhoods.
They say location is everything in real estate, and some buyers aren’t nit-picking over floor plans or half bathrooms when they hunt in the hotly competitive markets of neighborhoods of Myers Park, Elizabeth and Plaza Midwood.
That’s because they plan to tear it all down and start from scratch — and can afford to do so.
Many of us would love to buy a home at these price points at all, making some of these listings pretty eye-watering.
But for the lucky few, here are some homes for people who can get rid of one home on their path to getting another. Here’s a teardown on the market in each of those three neighborhoods.
Let’s hope they build something beautiful.
