Lake Lanier Home Sales Stats For First Quarter 2014! Mostly Good News!

With the first quarter of 2014 Lake Lanier home sales mostly in the books, we decided to take a look at how the market did.  Typically, I like to wait until about the middle of the month to report the stats, because there always seems to be some time lag in posting the previous month's sales.  Pulling these numbers on the fifth of the month might be a tad premature, but I just couldn't wait to take a look.  So, that said, here's what we have for Lake Lanier waterfront home sales (mobiles & modulars excluded) with a dock on the lake for the first quarter of 2014.

Now, stay with me for a moment and let's get geeky.  Do you think 2014 was better than 2013 for the first quarter of Lake Lanier home sales?  We had the frigid cold weather, unusual amounts of snow, ice, Ukraine turmoil, a more volatile stock market, etc., etc.  Let's take a look!
