Someone sent me their Wegmans must-buy list, and now I get the hype.

Danny's Subs. The bakery. The banana cream pie cake. The hot bar. The list is already long and I have not even made it through it.

I-485 is not the Mecklenburg County line.

You can live outside the loop and still be in Mecklenburg, or go farther into a surrounding county. And as you look farther out, check each home's utilities. Some have well water and septic instead of public water and sewer, and your address decides that, not which side of 485 you are on.

Inside the loop or outside it, which would you pick?

An appraiser came back $40,000 above the list price on a home this week. That is not a fluke.

At 7.5% interest, the buyers who can still buy are pricing the rate into their offers, and a seller who truly needs to sell meets the market where it is. If rates come back down, this shifts again.

Moving to Charlotte? Here's what nobody tells you.

"It's only 10 miles away" is not a time estimate. Love trees? Your gutters will have opinions. Buying near the airport? Tour the backyard, stop talking and listen. Mild winters? Until bread and milk become emergency supplies.

What would you add to the list?
