Why I'm Still Investing in Real Estate in Waxhaw, NC
Closing day never gets old. We just added another townhouse to our investment portfolio here in Waxhaw, NC—and I couldn’t be more excited about what it represents.
A lot of people ask: “Why buy right now? Aren’t rates high? Isn’t the market uncertain?” It’s true, rates are higher than they’ve been in years. But here’s the reality: real estate isn’t about chasing the “perfect” moment—it’s about playing the long game.
Why Invest in Real Estate Now?
Real estate has always been one of the most reliable ways to build wealth and create options for the future. Unlike the stock market, you can touch it, rent it out, and watch it appreciate over time. Even in today’s market, investing is about:
Cash flow potential – rental demand in Waxhaw continues to grow.
Long-term appreciation – Waxhaw is one of the fastest-growing areas around Charlotte.
Legacy building – properties today can turn into stepping stones for tomorrow.
The Waxhaw Advantage
Waxhaw isn’t just charming—it’s smart investing. This area continues to attract families, professionals, and relocation buyers who want top schools, small-town charm, and proximity to Charlotte. That demand makes Waxhaw a strong market for both long-term rentals and appreciation.
A Family Perspective
When I explained to my daughters that we buy investment properties so that one day they’ll each have a home to start their journey, they lit up. Reese declared she and her sister are living together forever, while Piper quickly announced she’ll be buying a house in Sea Pines at Hilton Head. (One future landlord and one future beach bum—either way, I’ll call it a win.)
The point is: investing today isn’t just about numbers—it’s about creating options and opportunity for the future.
The Bottom Line
Yes, interest rates are higher. But waiting for the “perfect” market means missing out on growth that’s happening now. My family is investing, my clients are investing, and Waxhaw is one of the best places to do it.
If you’ve been thinking about buying an investment property in Waxhaw or the greater Charlotte area, now is the time to start—or keep going.
