MINT HILL, NC – Summer is coming to an end and the hot days of August are over. However, the Charlotte Real Estate market has shown very few signs of slowing down or cooling off. If you are in the market to buy a home, any offer you plan on making takes some serious discussion and strategy. Wonder if your offer will stand out amongst the sea of competing offers?

0-7 checks: Low buying power – unless you are the only offer, this is not looking good.

8-16 checks: Average buying power – offers in this category are 50% more likely to be accepted

17+ checks: High buying power – your offer is a diamond in the rough and likely to be accepted
