Hi I guess it would depend on what your max price point would be but a 12 percent is a good healthy rate unlike other parts of the country when housing was booming that had major increase like a 500k for 700k.
Charlotte will remain healthy growing for a good another five years unless something happens unexpected.
I regret you selling low but alot of people across country are in similar situation as you having trouble selling their home to move here so it controls a flood of people at one time moving to this location.
Average home for 2000 sq ft home is around 210k so if you factor in 12 percent then it would only be 288k at growth rate in a year at that percentage point.
There is only 14 counties out of 100 that have expected higher than national average growth projections for 2010 to 2020 so that would leave 86 counties you probably can find a good size home and maybe nice size lot
