We used to refer to the Carolinas in one breath, as if all of the markets behaved similarly. Today, that could not be further from the truth. All of the major housing markets (Charlotte, Raleigh, Wilmington, Myrtle Beach, Charleston and Hilton Head) have wildly different outlooks. In this analysis, we will look at Charlotte and Raleigh.
Over the years, Charlotte has become a major finance hub because of Wachovia’s national expansion and NationsBank’s 1998 acquisition of San Francisco-based Bank of America. With the distress at both institutions, employment has suffered greatly and the housing market along with it.
Over many decades but especially over the last 15 years, the Raleigh MSA has developed a huge technology-oriented employment base, revolving around the three great universities: Duke (Durham), University of North Carolina (Chapel Hill) and N.C. State (Raleigh). While the banking business boomed earlier this decade, the technology business tanked, and we believe the next few years will be the exact opposite, as technology soars again while banks struggle. Therefore, we expect Raleigh’s housing market to outperform Charlotte’s market.
Here is some more information to support our thesis:
- Job Losses: Charlotte’s 12-month job loss rate at -5.7% is more than double Raleigh’s -2.4%, and equates to nearly 49,000 jobs lost in the last 12 months versus nearly 13,000 in Raleigh. Our forecasts project Raleigh’s job growth rate will outpace Charlotte’s through 2013.
- Unemployment: Charlotte’s unemployment rate as of November is higher than average at 12.0% versus Raleigh’s lower than average rate of 8.6%. The rate is 10% nationally.
- New Home Sales: Raleigh saw strong new home sales through the summer and early fall, which ate through much of the housing inventory in more desirable locations. Initially, sales were limited to the entry level price ranges, but expanded in the Fall to include sales at better located, affordable move-up and active adult communities.
- Charlotte didn’t see an equivalent lift in traffic and sales this year. Sales did pickup somewhat from the devastating declines at the end of 2008, but Charlotte builders have continued to report lackluster activity, even at the entry level.
- Land prices: In Raleigh, land prices have fallen dramatically in Raleigh’s outer locations, while demand for “A” location detached lots has been strong, particularly among several public builders in the market.
- While there is less evidence of price capitulation in the more remote locations in Charlotte, there is also less appetite for “A” locations. The removal of the #1 builder in Charlotte from the market, however, will help stabilize the competitive environment.
- New start-ups: Raleigh has several small, start-up homebuilding companies headed by former division presidents, which will grow new businesses offering affordable homes on lots purchased at distressed prices. The presence of start-up homebuilders is a positive sign of Raleigh’s shift towards recovery, based on watching prior recoveries. In Charlotte, we are not hearing of the same level of start-ups by former division presidents and private builders recreating themselves.
Conclusion: In order to accurately assess the risk risk/reward, it is important to recognize these 2 metros as distinct entities with unique dynamics in play. It is even more important to look at each submarket, which we have done in our 2010 Land Acquisition and New Home Sales Strategy year-end reports, which can be viewed HERE.

| * The government defines metro areas and includes metro divisions within some areas. In these instances, we report at the more detailed division level, because that is what most of our clients use for decision making. For example, we report on the Los Angeles and Orange County divisions separately, rather than the Los Angeles MSA, which includes both Los Angeles and Orange counties. We also use the more colloquial names used by business people, so we refer to the "Santa Ana-Anaheim-Irvine" division as "Orange County."
