Lake Lanier Home Sales Charted From 2007 To 2016! Where We've Been And Where We're Going!

Lake Lanier Home Sales Charted From 2007 To 2016!  Where We've Been And Where We're Going!

I am often asked the question "How is the real estate market?"  More precisely, it is often a question as to the status of the Lake Lanier real estate market. And generally, this question refers to how homes are selling and what the market activity looks like for home sales.

In order to answer that question which is so often posed, I decided to take a look at historical sales activity of Lake Lanier homes as provided by FMLS. The simple chart shown below provides a detailed view of where we have been and where we might likely be going with regard to Lake Lanier home sales. The chart goes all the way back to 2007 and shows the annual home sales numbers for each year along with the average sales price. This is for waterfront homes on Lake Lanier. No other criterion was used.

Lake Lanier Home Sales Chart 2007-2016 from Arthur Prescott

As you can see in the chart, the number of Lake Lanier waterfront homes selling each year over the past couple of years has increased quite dramatically. On the other hand, pricing has not yet reached the peak seen in a number of years from 2007 through 2009. In some of those years, and possibly some of the earlier years like 2005 and 2006, average waterfront home prices on Lake Lanier exceeded $600,000! I like to think of those years as the "heyday" for Lake Lanier home sales! Have we return to those glory days? Well, from a pricing standpoint, not quite yet. But obviously, from the number of home sales annually, things are progressing quite nicely. Add to that, the fact that inventory is very low, and we might just see higher prices in 2016.  If in fact, we can get the stock market and world markets to settle down just a bit, and things in our domestic economy stay on course.

These are just a few of my thoughts and observations as we head into the Spring market.

Lake Lanier Area Relocation Home Buyers Coming Back Into The Market From Other States!

Lake Lanier Area Relocation Home Buyers Coming Back Into The Market From Other States!

Today, we're prepping for relocation clients from Pennsylvania that will be coming to our area this weekend to look at homes in the Lake Lanier area. This reminds us of years past when relocation clients would come from all over the United States to find a waterfront place on Lake Lanier. What we have experienced in many of these cases, is that the activity and needs of many of these clients has tended to follow one of two paths in our home searches.

1. Clients relocate to the northern suburbs of Atlanta and the Lake Lanier area because their jobs are being relocated to this area as a consequence of the area being a corporate paradise for so many large companies.
2. Clients that are retired, empty nesters relocating to the northern suburbs of Atlanta and the Lake Lanier area because their children and grandchildren have already relocated to this area because of their transferring jobs.

Sometimes, these home searches start out as Lake Lanier waterfront homes. In many cases, however, the search can transition into off-lake homes because of the price for being waterfront on Lanier or because of the limited amount of available acreage on waterfront properties. These buyers often feel that in order to get the amount of acreage and privacy that they want with waterfront footage on Lake Lanier, the asking price is beyond their budget. This forces the search to go off-lake in communities such as Cumming, Buford, Flowery Branch, Suwanee, John's Creek, Hoschton, etc.  These communities offer properties with plenty of space and acreage along with the ability to still have access to Lake Lanier. With all of the public boat ramps and marinas scattered around the lake, new residents to our area can still enjoy lake activities without actually being in a waterfront home.

If you are searching for a waterfront home or an near-lake home on Lanier, please contact us to assist in your search process. We have been doing this now for 15 years, and we can share our extensive knowledge of the area!

The lake lot of this property backs up to U.S.A.C. land that is located on a peninsula that has a park-like setting with a sandy beach, open water views and a large grassy area that included mowing rights in order to maintain a manicured setting.

For those familiar with nearby Atlanta area residences, this home could best be described as a Buckhead / Morningside home right on the shores of Lake Lanier. All this located on .58 acres and surrounded by other high end homes! This property was part of the subdivision of Summer Crest which included Swim and Tennis amenities. The 2014 property taxes on the home $10,190.  It was listed for sale for $995,000.

Many thanks to Robert Doyle of the Doyle Home Group of Keller Williams Realty North Atlanta for his expert representation of the sellers in the home sale!

Photos From The Waterfront Park-Like Setting At Our Latest Lake Lanier Home Under Contract!

We had our general home inspection last Friday at our latest Lake Lanier home that's under contract. It was a cloudy, rainy, cool day but these photos of the waterfront, park-like setting were incredible! Located on the south end of Lake Lanier, just across the water from Holiday Marina, this setting truly feels like an old U.S.A.C.E. park at the lake.  Imagine the good times and family memories to be enjoyed at a setting like this...
