Lake Lanier Real Estate Today!

Yesterday was a memorable Independence Day at Lake Lanier and the surrounding areas.  We noticed quite a bit of boat traffic and lots of folks out enjoying the water.  The Forsyth Herald has posted 93 photos of the Cumming Steam Engine Parade on its Facebook Page.  If you've never seen this event, it is one of the most enjoyable of the year for Cumming, and by the look of the photos, it was a memorable event this year as well.


Today, we're keeping an eye on final real estate sales data for the month of June on Lake Lanier.  I believe the final numbers will show a steady trend of gradual growth for home sales.  Here's a peek at what the numbers look like today.  It looks like about 20 homes sold, with the average sales price coming in at around $536,208.  That's a similar number of home sales to last month, and yet another month with average pricing above $500,000.  Actually, our numbers show this to be the fifth month of 2012 where Lake Lanier home sales prices appear to be holding in the $500,000 range!  If you have questions about Lake Lanier real estate, or if you would like to find out your home's value in today's market, please contact us for your free market analysis!

Lake Lanier Real Estate Today!

Today, a number of things crossed my desk, sparking an interest in writing a few words about each.  The first of these items has to do with Gillsville.  That's right, Gillsville!  Not Gainesville, but Gillsville.  This is a small community close to I-985 and just east of the more famous Gainesville.

So, what's in Gillsville?  Well, from what I can tell, some very value priced real estate!  Take a look at some of these Gillsville homes and their prices!

4627 Turning Leaf Drive
4765 Turning Leaf Drive
4353 Pond Fork Way

These are just a few of the value priced homes for sale in Gillsville.  There are plenty of others.  And while Gillsville isn't on Lake Lanier, it's pretty darn close.

Moving on to item two, Appen news is reporting that a new medical center is in the works across the street from Northside Hospital Forsyth!  That's great news for commercial real estate in Cumming, and great news for the residents of Cumming.  I'm a big fan of Northside Forsyth Hospital, and the idea of a continuation of this growth and support is great news.  Here's the link to the full news story!


And finally, the third item on our list is in regard to everyone's interest in 4th of July fireworks and festivities.  I have not been able to confirm a show at Athens Boat Club or Marina Bay.  However, here are a couple of sure bets for finding upcoming festivities and fireworks dispalys!
