The real estate market is hotter than a car with black leather interior in the summertime. Homes are selling themselves practically overnight, but the bigger the price tag, the longer it is likely to linger as a listing. It looks like competition to find a home among multi-millionaires isn’t as stiff. If you plan to pay upwards of a million for your next residence what can you buy if you venture outside of the Charlotte city limits?
