Charlotte county's population is about 158,000 and has risen at a brisk 31% since 2000. Compared with 14% for Florida and 7% nationwide.
23% to 29% of your wealth should be allocated to real estate. 11-13% in your principal home, 3-6% an income producing property, 5-7% a second home, 2-4% undeveloped land, and 2-4% additional homes.
Homes sold with a REALTOR® sell for up to 16% more than those sold by themselves.
50% of sales are cooperative sales; that is, a real estate agent other than yours brings the buyer. Your agent acts as the marketing coordinator, disbursing information about your property to other real estate agents.
