They’re among the strongest in the country.And that’s before you layer in the bigger regional moves:Toyota drops $912 million to expand hybrid production, with $204.4 million landing in Georgetown.Ford continues forward with its battery plant.Supply-chain companies keep gravitating toward our interstates, river ports, UPS Worldport, and the commercial rail line out west that connects Louisville to St.

Below is your October 2025 Charlotte market update — including exciting infrastructure news​ and a snapshot of the tightest rental markets across the region.​Infrastructure Spotlight: Charlotte’s Rail Trail Bridge ProjectConstruction is officially underway on the long-anticipated Rail Trail Pedestrian Bridge over I-277, a $16–21 million project that will connect Uptown Charlotte to South End via a new pedestrian and bicycle bridge.Quick facts:-The bridge will span ~280 feet across I-277, linking the Brooklyn Village (Stonewall) Station area in Uptown to the Charlotte Rail Trail under the East Morehead Street bridge.

Not advertising a deal, just trying to understand what “market” looks like.Hypothetical (but based on a real situation):- Location: Central Los Angeles, Jefferson Park–type area- Asset: Existing 4-unit multifamily on a single parcel- Context: Within walking distance (~0.5 miles) of an E Line / K Line rail station, so it appears to fall into a transit-oriented development (TOD) pocket that should benefit from SB 79 upzoning (higher minimum density / height / FAR if standards are met)- Ownership: Held in a family trust tied to a probate / conservatorship, with a court-supervised mandate to (a) preserve the asset and (b) use it to support an elderly beneficiaryThe family side can realistically contribute **land only**; they don’t have the balance sheet or cash to run a full entitlement + construction process.

Guidelines to follow:Only buy in low-cost markets if your costs stay under 75% even after paying for two major capital improvements, such as a new roof and a new water service line.Make sure you can eliminate all obvious safety and health hazards—like broken sidewalks, missing railings, lead paint, or poor lighting.

Prioritize value that boosts NOI and appraisal without heavy disruption: pave or gravel the drive for cleaner parking, replace unsafe stairs/decks or at least tighten, paint, and add railings, and give the exterior a quick win with lighting, mailbox numbers, and simple landscaping for curb appeal.
