About 3 months ago, I picked up a gorgeous 1.5 story/basement home from a friend who wanted me to market the home to sell. The home sits in the Cramer Woods subdivision of Gastonia (about 20 miles outside of Charlotte). The previous 2 agents had not had much luck in showings or offers on the home. After we sat down and addressed the price, we decided to list the home at $389,900 ... a tough price point in this market. Our best shot at selling this home (Gastonia is definitely a niche market) was to entice buyers to view by shooting good shots of the home (obviously) but also stitching together a virtual tour that highlighted the great 1.4 acre lot and we had to sell the lifestyle ... which was shooting the Catawba River and the many great local eateries and a popular outdoor activity site. Long story short, we ended up having four interested parties and today I received multiple offers of which we chose one and are now under contract! I can't share the details of the transaction until we close, but I can tell you that both seller and buyer walked away happy to this point! We still have a long way to go, but to be positioned in a multiple offer situation in this market was a great feeling!
I was never a big fan of Gastonia as I guess it just seemed to rural for my taste. After driving through Belmont and Cramerton a few times over the past month or so, I have come to realize why people are drawn to that area. I'd highly recommend this area of Charlotte for any person searching for a City with a Rural Soul!
