Historic Count Of Active Listings For Lake Lanier Waterfront Homes! Let's Check The Inventory Trends!

Historic Count Of Active Listings For Lake Lanier Waterfront Homes!  Let's Check The Inventory Trends!

Once again, the chart shows the trends in the market.  This one goes back over 10 years and looks at active waterfront home listing counts.  You can easily see how the economic recession and the historic Lake Lanier drought impacted the number of homes for sale in 2007, 2008, and 2009. As the economy improved and Lake Lanier water levels increased, you can see the upward trajectory on the chart of the huge influx of homes for sale between 2009 and 2010. Furthermore, from 2010 to present, it is easy to see the cyclicality of our market and how the number of homes for sale tends to increase in the spring and summer, and then trailed off into the winter months. Overall, the big thing that I see here, is that as we move into 2017, the inventory of Lake Lanier waterfront homes for sale is lower than it has been in approximately 7 years.  Hmm...

Inventory Of Waterfront Homes For Sale On Lake Lanier Very Low! Buyers Are Looking, But We Need More Listings!

Inventory Of Waterfront Homes For Sale On Lake Lanier Still Very Few!  Buyers Are Looking, But We Need More Listings!

If you've been searching for waterfront homes for sale on Lake Lanier, you've probably come to the conclusion that there just doesn't seem to be a lot of inventory right now on the lake. A quick look at the numbers today in FMLS would tend to substantiate your thought process that indeed listing inventory is very tight right now. As of today, our most recent search of available waterfront homes for sale on Lake Lanier resulted in 194 home listings. Folks, that's not a lot of inventory of Lake Lanier homes for sale! Last year at this time, inventory was also tight with the number of homes listed coming in around 207.  The median price point on what is for sale right now came in at about $682,450! That's up substantially from last year at this time.  So if you're a little frustrated in your Lake Lanier property search, you are not alone! However, the good news is that it's still early in the season. While buyers are indeed looking now, the traditional Spring market has not taken off just yet.


If you are considering putting your Lake Lanier home on the market this year, now is the time to start cleaning the place up and getting it show ready. In a few more weeks the flowers will start blooming, the weather will start warming up on a more consistent basis, and Lake Lanier buyers will be out combing the shoreline in full force! Feel free to contact us today for a free market analysis and valuation of your Lake Lanier property. When we do our site visit to your property, we can also make suggestions about things to consider doing in order to get your property in tip-top shape for the upcoming selling season.

Lake Lanier Homes For Sale Versus Average List Price! A Simple View Of The Lake Lanier Housing Market!

Lake Lanier Homes For Sale Versus Average List Price!  A Simple View Of The Lake Lanier Housing Market!

The chart shown below shows a very simplistic explanation of the current state of the Lake Lanier housing market. As we noted previously, our inventory of Lake Lanier homes for sale is presently very low. Based on this chart and the research that we did in FMLS this weekend, listing inventory of Lake Lanier homes for sale is presently lower than it has been at any time since 2011. The other thing that the chart points out is that the average listing price is fairly high at the moment. Average listing prices appear to be hovering well over $600,000. A tight supply of homes for sale and a higher average list price. This explains some of the frustration that many Lake Lanier home buyers are experiencing right now. On the other hand, if you are contemplating putting your Lake Lanier home on the market, now might be an excellent time to do it!

Congratulations to the new buyers on their purchase! They were well represented by Jonathan Osborne and Jeffrey Lyon of Century 21 Connect Realty. With the purchase price coming in at $405,000 the new owners got a lot of property for the money. We feel certain that they will be thrilled with having a recently built home on a great cove off of Taylor Creek with nice lake views and super easy access to Lake Lanier!

This was just another example of the hot market that we have experienced this year on our property listings!  With inventory remaining very tight on waterfront Lake Lanier homes, we continue to welcome discussions with lake property owners to discuss valuation and potential of listing their homes and lots for sale this year!

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!

Our latest look at the MLS system this morning showed an early tally of 14 Lake Lanier homes selling and closing this past month of April.  We expect a bit more data to come in regarding additional sales for April, but so far the numbers look good.  Preliminary estimates showed the average selling prices to be in the low $500,000 price range.  Now is a very good time to consider listing a Lake Lanier home if you have considered selling.  We continue to stress the positive market conditions and favorable environment for selling that we have not seen on Lanier in quite some time.  Please feel free to contact us for your free Lake Lanier home market evaluation!
