2 Master Suites or.... (Charlotte, Norman: townhomes, buyer, living) - North Carolina (NC) - City-Data Forum

1 Master suite and 2 small bedrooms? Considering the area--Lake Norman, by the water--I don't think the target buyer population would be affected all that much. So, would you buy 2 large Master Suites with 2 Master bathrooms, or 1 MB/Mba and 2 small BR with full bath for resale?

Definitely 1MB/Mba and 2 small BR with full bath. I honestly wouldn't understand why someone would want 2 Master suites.

2 masters is actually very popular and they tend to sell quickly.

Young couple no kids, single professional, retired couple, or 2 room mates?? You have to consider the area as well, it's lake living.

Do you think this caters to certain areas? i.e. the lake or downtown?

Honestly, I'm not sure myself, thus the question. I think I could justify either, but I hope someone can convince me one way or the other.

Personally, I think I'd like the 2 Master option for us, but not sure about resale.

What have been other Realtors experience?

Thanks!!

I believe 1 MBR and 2 small would be better for resell in a certain market. But I tend to buy a house to live in, and just avoid big reseller mistakes.. (which I always thought was a house with only 2 bedrooms)

How many Sq. ft. is it?

Home is 1731sqft.

Master 1 is 11'8 x 17'

Master 2 is 21'4 x 11'4

If smaller br's

br 2 would be 9'11 x 12'6
br 3 would be 11'0 x 10'2

I've been looking at other 2 bedroom townhomes in the area, and I can't believe 8 and 900 sqft are going for almost $300,000!!

You gotta be freakin' desperate to live on the water for that!
