Status: Sold (Closed Transactions)

Dock: Our searches scan for houses that have some form of dock in place. Docks can be minimal or elaborate, inexpensive or expensive. The analysis includes properties with single slip, double slip, triple slip, or platform docks that are in place and advertised in the listings as part of the sale. If there is a permit for a dock, but no dock in place, the property was not included in the analysis.

Lake Frontage: The home must be a waterfront property on Lake Lanier as described as lake frontage in the First Multiple Listing Service.

Exclusions: Our analysis does not include mobile homes, modular homes, condominiums or townhomes.

Lake Lanier Home Sales For August 2015 Continue To Hold Up Well, But Is A New Trend Starting To Unfold?

Lake Lanier Home Sales For August 2015 Continue To Hold Up Well, But Is A New Trend Starting To Unfold?

Lake Lanier home sales for the month of August were holding up pretty well as the Summer sales activity starts its seasonal transition into a slightly slower Autumn. We did our monthly research in the MLS system, and here's the report for the month of August.  This report includes waterfront homes listed with a dock on Lake Lanier. It does not include mobile or modular homes in this report.

Here are the numbers from our research of August lake home sales.

• 26 Lake Lanier home sales
• The average size home was 4 bedrooms with 3 and 1/2 baths
• The average year built was 1986
• Most expensive home sale $1,550,000
• Last expensive home sale $252,000
• The average sales price was $572,275
• The sales price to original list price ratio was 91.18%
• The average total days on market was 80

These are pretty good numbers.  For example, when we compare January-August of 2014 with January-August of 2015, we see that the average Lake Lanier home sales price in 2015 is up by about 16%! That's great news for Lake Lanier home owners!  But, alternatively, we detected a new potential trend in this report.  That trend is?  We are starting to see that in 2015, less homes sold than 2014 during the period of January through August.  We are off by about 4%.  Is the upturn in pricing affecting the number of home sales?  Did the recent stock market correction and pull back force lake home buyers to the sidelines?  We'll have to wait and see how this all plays out as we move into the Fall here at Lake Lanier.

Congratulations To Our Latest Lake Lanier Home Buyers On The Purchase Of This Perfect Waterfront Home On Thompson Creek In Dawsonville!




Located at 600 Woodland Circle in Dawsonville, this home made a perfect match for our clients as a full time residence with easy access to the waterfront, great lake views of Thompson Creek, excellent deep water and a spectacular 32 X 32 Browns Bridge Dock! The home was previously gutted and rebuilt in 2004, so by Lake Lanier comparisons, it was pretty modern. The home had the perfect open plan, gorgeous new wide plank hardwood floors, modern granite kitchen, a spacious romantic owners suite with veranda, plus two guest rooms. The finished terrace level featured a bonus room and full bath (which could be used as a fourth bedroom or media room), a wet bar, large recreation room & a screened porch with overhead metal ceiling and gutter system! Located on arguably one of the best lake streets in Dawson County at Woodland Circle, this property was one of the greatest values we've seen all year!

Originally listed back in 2010 at $790,000 for a short period of time, we knew that this was going to be a hot listing when it hit the market this year at $689,000!  We wasted no time in alerting our clients to the new opportunity, and they jumped at the chance to get this fantastic home at an even lower price.  Many thanks to Sheila Davis of the Norton Agency for her knowledgeable assistance in representing the sellers in the transaction.  We are thrilled that we were able to help our buyer clients secure an excellent full time residence with tremendous features at an excellent price!

The Wonderful & Charming Lake Lanier Cabin At 344 Tom McGinnis Road In Dawsonville Has Sold!  We had a strong feeling when we listed this idyllic little waterfront getaway that it wouldn't take long for it to capture the hearts of a new family of owners.  The property was originally listed on July 1, 2015 and was under contract 19 days later.  Today was our closing day.

What a fun property to market and sell!  This home had incredible charm, a true historic Lake Lanier getaway feeling, a great water/dock setting and a memorable, rural character.  It just had a way of taking you back in time!  As a matter of fact, during the title examination, it was determined that the first community road agreement was created in the early 1900's for these classic cabins along Tom McGinnis that is still a meandering gravel road that follows the shoreline of Lake Lanier!




Many thanks to my colleague and Realtor partner, Mandy Hooks, who directed her clients to this wonderful setting!  I just know that the new owners will have years of fun times and the making of new memories in this classic Lake Lanier cabin!

Lake Lanier Waterfront Home Sales Continue Their Strong Trend With The Latest July Numbers!

Lake Lanier Home Sales Continue Their Strong Trend With The Latest July Numbers!

Once again, Lake Lanier home sales for the month were notably strong as the summer sales activity continues on its heated pace. We did our monthly digging in the MLS system, and here's what we are reporting for the month of July.  This report includes waterfront homes listed with a dock on Lake Lanier. It does not include mobile or modular homes in this report.

Here are the numbers from our research of July lake home sales.

• 27 Lake Lanier home sales
• The average size home was four bedrooms with 3 and 1/2 baths
• The average year built was 1985
• The average sales price was $645,244
• The sales price to original list price ratio was 92.70%
• The average total days on market was 92

These are pretty strong numbers.  For example, when we compare January-July of 2014 with January-July of 2015, we see that the average Lake Lanier home sales price in 2015 is up by about 15%! That's great news for Lake Lanier home owners!  And as a result, Lake Lanier home buyers will probably continue to see a rise in prices as inventory remains tight.

Congratulations To Our Most Recent Lake Lanier Home Buyers On The Purchase Of Their Villa Home In The Overlook At Harbour Point Yacht Club!

Congratulations To Our Most Recent Lake Lanier Home Buyers On The Purchase Of Their Villa Home In The Overlook At Harbour Point Yacht Club!

This fantastic property was located at 3476 Marina Crest Drive in Gainesville in the well-known resort community of Harbour Point! What a fantastic section of the Harbour Point community, where yard maintenance is included in the quarterly dues and the lifestyle is easy-going with the option for a slip at the community marina. This home was very well-maintained and had many extras.

Originally built by John Wieland Homes in 1998, this home included four bedrooms, three full baths and one half bath on three living levels. There was a full finished basement, a bonus room/office upstairs, a recreation room and additional office/study on the terrace level, an open kitchen, great room, and separate dining room.  All on a beautifully landscaped lot with a lush courtyard.

The homes in The Overlook are known for being deceptively large yet somewhat compact on smaller lots. They have drive under garages and easy access to the tennis courts, clubhouse, swimming pool, cafe, gym, and marina.  All of these amenities are inside the gates of the community right on Lake Lanier!This home was originally listed in 2013 and was on the market for quite some time. Our buyers were able to get an excellent deal on the property and move right in!  This helped in making it an easier transition for them to relocate from their former home in Houston, Texas.

This lovely Harbour Point property was expertly listed by Linda Morris of Harbour Point Realty at $379,900.  Many thanks to Linda and her staff for her representation of the sellers and for facilitating a smooth transaction!

Congratulations To Our latest Lake Lanier Home Buyer Clients On The Purchase Of Their Waterfront Home At 2030 Millers Path In Cumming, GA!

2030 Millers Path On Lake Lanier!

This waterfront home was recently renovated and advertised as an immaculate private oasis complete with a beautiful waterfall and water garden!

Waterfall at 2030 Millers Path

Water Garden

Located just 1.5 miles from Marketplace Boulevard with plenty of shopping and restaurants and just minutes to Buford Dam on the extreme south end of Lake Lanier.


This four bedroom, two and one half bath home is located in the quiet enclave of Miller's Cove. The home featured vaulted ceilings in many of the rooms, a very large eat-in kitchen, exposed wood beams, a fantastic den with lots of built-in cabinets.

Great Room

Great Room View To Screened Porch

All of the rooms were large and most of them faced the waterfront. There were three fireplaces, one of them stone, one slate, and one granite! Outside there was a large front deck which wrapped around the front of the home and continued on to the master bedroom, which was located on the main level. There was a screened porch overlooking a quiet backyard and an additional upstairs deck off of the upstairs in-law suite! The property also featured a very level, short walk to a single-slip covered dock on open water at the south end of Lake Lanier!

With extensive remodeling already complete, most of the heavy renovation work on the home was finished. But our buyers plan to upgrade much of the existing interior in order to make the living space a much more luxurious and custom home setting. Originally listed at $450,000, our clients were able to secure a very strong investment on a very solid home with plenty of room for expansion in a neighborhood of higher-valued properties. We look forward to seeing all of the new upgrades in the coming year!

This incredible waterfront Lake Lanier home at 9170 Bay Pointe Drive in Gainesville is indeed a true Lake resort! This one-of-a-kind property was located on a point lot and had the perfect private setting of tranquility and gorgeous sunset views.


A close level walk to the water and a grandfathered boathouse with party deck were only some of the features that our buyers were able to obtain. The shoreline of the property was completely lined with riprap and the deep Lake Lanier waters had a phenomenal crystal blue color.

This wonderful log home was originally built in 1996 as a custom-built home constructed of hand hewn logs from Montana along with stone for the base foundation. The home featured a two-story great room with a large stone fireplace, a master retreat with fireplace, a terrace level with a second kitchen and much more. There was a tremendous sun room off of the kitchen and a loft area that served as a billiards room. There was even a fun, sandy volleyball arena right in the side yard overlooking the lake!

The home was listed with 7106 ft.² on 0.68 acres.  There were five large bedrooms, three full baths and one half bath in the home.  With the master bedroom on the main level and a terrace level that could serve as an in law suite, this home had loads of room and lots of storage for our clients who had a big family! There were lake views from virtually every room of the home and the setting of the property was simply as peaceful as they come.

The property was originally listed by Sheila Davis with the Norton agency at a price of $1,150,000. We were able to snag the property quickly for our clients after only 23 days on market and closed on the sale on July 1, 2015. What a perfect fit for our Lake Lanier clients! This property will surely serve our clients as a fantastic, lakefront full-time residence for years to come with its truly unique Lake Lanier waterfront setting! Many thanks to Sheila Davis of the Norton Agency for her expert service in representing the sellers in this transaction.

Located in the highly desirable Kilough Church Road area of Dawsonville, our Lake Lanier home buyers got an excellent property at 1886 Kilough Church Road, which was originally listed at $474,900. Located in the cul-de-sac and on a point lot, this property had a level walk, grass to the waters edge, and tremendous views of excellent deep water along Thompson Creek at Lake Lanier!

The Home included three bedrooms and three full baths. It was originally built in 1981 as a cottage in the upscale lake neighborhood of Sunrise. This was a two story home with hardiplank exterior, lots of hardwood floors, an open kitchen and tremendous views of the lake from the great room and from the big screen porch out back. The master bedroom was located on the second floor in the back of the home, and had a large deck also overlooking the lake!  The neighborhood of Sunrise provided another unique feature in that there is a homeowners association in place and there is access to tennis courts and an outdoor pavilion. 

This home was built on an approximate one third acre lot with very few trees, except for a few hardwoods that provided some very nice shade areas for sitting out on the back lawn. With a setting like this one, you never wanted to leave!  So our clients elected to stay!  Even after establishing the contract to purchase, the home continued to get many desperate inquiries and verbal offers which proved a testament to the incredible lake setting of the property.  

I would like to extend a big thank you to Terry Cooksey with Harry Norman Realtors for his skilled service in representing the sellers in this transaction!  Terry was always polite and easy to work with! That always makes it easier for us when we represent our buyers at Lake Lanier!
