Lake Lanier Home Sales For September 2015! We Check The Real Estate Sales Trends And Market Data!

Lake Lanier Home Sales For September 2015!  Let's Check The Real Estate Sales Trends And Market Data!

Lake Lanier home sales for the month of September are in!  We did our monthly research in the MLS system, and here's the report for the month of September.  This report includes waterfront homes listed with a dock on Lake Lanier. This report does not include properties that were listed as mobile or modular homes in the listing sales data.

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

• 25 Lake Lanier home sales
• The average size home was 4 bedrooms with 3 and 1/2 baths
• The average year built was 1984
• Most expensive home sale $1,174,000
• Least expensive home sale $145,000
• The average sales price was $531,588
• The average sales price to original list price ratio was 85.71%
• The average total days on market was 149

So, what do we see in the numbers?  Once again, the number of lake home sales for the month lagged the number posted for September of the previous year.  We now have a three month trend of less homes selling in each of the previous months when compared to the same months in 2014. Additionally, it appears that for the year of 2015, the number of lake home sales transactions is lagging behind the same time frame in 2014.  We'll continue to monitor the numbers and see what develops as we move into the fourth quarter of 2015.

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.

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.

Lake Lanier Home Sales Numbers Up So Far This Year! Values Appear Up A Bit Too!

A quick look at FMLS this morning revealed some interesting numbers regarding Lake Lanier home sales. Our research looked at home sales on Lake Lanier that are lakefront with a dock or dock permit in place.  No mobile homes or modular homes were included in our report.

Comparing 2014 to 2013, we found that approximately 30% more home sales have occurred so far this year when compared to 2013. That's a healthy increase in the number of transactions for the first eight months of the year. However, the average sales price of the homes that sold tells a little bit different story. Our research of those numbers detected only a slight increase in value of the average Lake Lanier home sale in 2014 compared to 2013, looking just at the first eight months of the year. The increase in value was approximately 0.005%.

Lake sales have been brisk lately with 33 homes selling in August, and things seem to be quite active into the first few weeks of September.  For a full look at all of the numbers regarding Lake Lanier home sales over the past number of years, check out our Lake Lanier housing market report and be sure to let us know if you have questions about Lake Lanier market trends.

Lake Lanier Housing Market Report For First Quarter 2013! See The Latest Market Trends For Lake Lanier Home Sales!

We've been so busy lately that we have been delinquent in our duties to post the monthly Lake Lanier Housing Market Report.  The report provides a lot of detailed information on Lake Lanier home sales and the market trends.  Well, this morning I received a motivational email from a faithful reader, wondering if we had stopped publishing the report.  That hit home and was the motivation that I needed to get the research engines running!  After a few hours of homework, I can happily say that the report is updated,  back online and ready for your review!

Some of the most notable points in my research of the market, certainly would include the average prices of Lake Lanier homes sold still hovering in the $500,000 range, which is similar to 2012.  The number of home sales is slightly up from the same period in 2012.  So, all in all, the trend remains positive for Lake Lanier home owners.  You can view all of the details of our Lake Lanier Housing Market Report by clicking on the link below.  And remember, we are always happy to provide a free market evaluation of your home.  Simply call or email us, and we will schedule your initial property visit.

Lake Lanier Real Estate Market Report For December 2012! See The Sales Numbers Here!

Well, we finally had a chance to sit down and look at the the Lake Lanier sales numbers for December 2012 and they are pretty strong.  Our research shows that there were 17 homes sold on Lake Lanier in the month of December.  That is looking at "stick built homes" and does not include condos, townhouses, or mobile homes.  All homes were located on waterfront lots and had a dock or dock permit in place.  The average home was a four bedroom, three-and-a-half bath structure.  The total days on market for these properties was 330 days which was a bit extended.  Average sales price came in at a nice $501,590 which represented 84.81% of the average original list price.  All of this data points to a Lake Lanier real estate market that is strengthening in demand and pricing.  We believe that this will continue into the Spring if rates remain low and the lake level continues its recent rise.  With Lake Lanier presently near 1062' water level, we just need some more beautiful weekends and some more rainy weeks and this market should be primed for take-off!
