In spite of Charlotte’s recent housing boom, the Queen City still has plenty of room to grow.

According to a new report by RedFin, Charlotte has been ranked as one of the top 4 metros “primed for growth over the next decade”.

The report analyzed 78 metros across the United States and ranked the top 4 cities based on average share of land value be less than 30%, home price growth be more than 4%, home sales growth be greater than 4%, and percent of searches from outside the metro be at least 40%.

“In Charlotte, home sales are growing at an annual pace of 14.5%. With 40% of search activity coming from outside of the metro, Charlotte—where household incomes are growing 5% annually and jobs grew 2.9% in 2019, well above the national rate of 1.4%—will continue to attract job seekers. Charlotte is well positioned to absorb growth given that land comprises only 28% of home values on average in the metro. Notably, Charlotte is home to one of 2019’s hottest neighborhoods in the country (Wildwood), and that neighborhood has a new housing development under construction,” the report notes.
