Hey Guys,

Trying to see if I can get a home/townhome instead of renting and letting my $ go to rent, instead of it going towards equity, in a sense. I've got a few questions for you guys, granted you guys know more about the area that a noob like me coming over from So Florida.

-What are some of the top new home/townhome builders in the Charlotte area? I've seen KB Homes, but what are some others?

-If I am working in Uptown, what would be the best place/community/area to get a home in, preferably brand new? (fwiw, I'm currently in the Steele Creek area and really like it over here.....

-What are some sites you guys would suggest to get information on new single family homes and also townhomes, at that too?

Thanks in advance.

sorry flash, i'm not much help in this area. been in my townhouse since 2001. not much into looking at real estate as i have no intention of moving any time soon. fwiw my townhouse was built by mulvaney homes.

i did see some new townhomes over off westinghouse, near tryon. thats close to you. also, lots of new townhouses down steele creek (160 towards fort mill)

Throw a rock and you will hit one. Good luck.

Thanks, Fat.

I'm trying to look for a new single family home or a town home from a reputable builder in the NC or even SC area (as long as it's close to Uptown Charlotte) maxing out at around $135k. -- I've seen 2 properties from KB Homes close to the Carowinds area.

But, what are some sites that show new properties around the NC/SC area?

Honestly dude, I'd rent for awhile and get to know the area. The market is going to get ugly in '09 and I wouldn't be long real estate anywhere. Get here, learn the area and then find the builders that are hurting the most in a few months. There are going to be plenty. Heck, there probably are plenty already.
