Happy New Year 2015! Pushing Past The Holidays And Surging Into A New Year Of Real Estate At Lake Lanier!

I can't believe it!  2014 is history and we are moving forward quickly into 2015.  The holidays are behind us and we enjoyed the time off!  It's been two weeks since our last post and we've been busy.

Just to recap the holidays, we spent quite a number of nights out dining at some of our favorite Lake Lanier area dining spots.  Most notably,  we dined a couple of evenings at Rico's World Kitchen in Buford.  As most of our followers already know, this spot is a real hit.  We have written about it on many occasions.  It's always a fun spot during the holidays and this year was no different.  Here are a few photos that I took from our recent visits.

We enjoyed another favorite spot over the holidays in Cumming, not too far from the shores of Lake Lanier.  Bello Italian Restaurant is quickly becoming a solid go-to dining spot for us.  Its location in downtown Cumming makes it very convenient and easy to get to, especially on those wet, cold wintry nights!  They have an excellent Italian menu with fancy dishes, excellent pizzas and a quiet, elegant atmosphere with a soft dose of Frank Sinatra tunes in the air.  If you haven't tried Bello, it's one of the best kept secrets near Lanier and you won't be disappointed in the menu and wonderful wine selection!




This new year is bringing a lot of increased activity on our websites and blog.  The quiet nature of the holidays has given way to an approximate 20% increase in visitation rates on our various Lake Lanier Real Estate websites in the past week.  This bodes well for an added spark in the real estate business on the lake as we see plenty of evidence that Lake Lanier buyers are out looking early.  This may result in an unusually early uptick in waterfront sales.  We are already booking Lake Lanier home evaluations for listing opportunities.  If you are considering selling your Lake Lanier property in 2015, please contact us now!  Activity is already ramping up and indications of an early start to the Spring selling season are appearing now.  Cheers, to an excellent real estate market on Lake Lanier in 2015!
