CHARLOTTE, NC, September 13, 2011 (Press-News.org) Home sales in Charlotte have been dropping sharply since January, accelerating a slump that began in 2006. Interestingly though, as sales have been dropping, prices have been rising. The average price of a home is up 15.3 percent since last year, and the cost per square foot for housing in Charlotte has risen a full 29 percent. Residents of Charlotte clearly are finding it less and less affordable to move into a new home, and are paying higher costs for less space.
