Stunning Lake Lanier Winter Views From Marina Bay! And A Price Reduction On This Classic Lake Lanier Cottage!

Stunning Lake Lanier Winter Views From Marina Bay!  And A Price Reduction On This Classic Lake Lanier Cottage!

We had the pleasure of showing Lake Lanier homes in resort community of Marina Bay this morning and even though the weather was cold and dreary, the lake views were fantastic.  Because of the tremendous elevations in this community in Gainesville, Georgia, we were able to experience some breath-taking views south along the Chestatee River.  The views stretched for miles towards War Hill Park in Dawsonville and Harbour Point in Gainesville.  You could wake up every morning with these views from your bedroom windows!

Now for the rest of the news!  Our real estate partner, Mandy Hooks, has just announced a $30,000 price reduction on this classic Lake Lanier cottage located at 455 Sams Road in Dawsonville.  This home is now priced to move quickly at $429,000.  Click here to checkout all of the details on this incredible lake home!

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!

Lake Lanier Home Showings For Tuesday, April 21, 2015! A Summary Of The Showings!

It was a beautiful evening yesterday on Lake Lanier! We were out shopping for homes from 5 o'clock until about 8:30 P.M. when it got dark. The main focus of yesterday's showings was to see homes in the $400,000-$500,000 price range, waterfront, with a dock in place. Our target area was Forsyth County and Dawson County close to Highway 400. We saw some interesting homes, but as usual, most of the homes had their pros and cons. As is often the case when shopping for homes on Lake Lanier, there tends to be a compromise between the home and the quality of the lot. While we did see some very good water lots, that usually interprets into steep lots. And if the homes have good water at the dock they are often smaller more weekend style homes. Nonetheless, it was a beautiful evening to be out in the cool weather and the spring breezes, while being lakefront on a quiet weekday evening. I have included a list of all of the homes that we saw yesterday.

Are you shopping for a Lake Lanier waterfront home with a dock? Let us know what you're looking for! We can help you find that special place!  After all, we see a lot of waterfront in our day-to-day shopping.

Congratulations To Our Latest Lake Lanier Home Buyers On Their Purchase Of This Wonderful Deep Water, Lake Lanier Log Cabin In Murrayville!

This unique and affordable log cabin at 7628 Maple Court in Woodmar Hills was located on a deep- water lake lot along the northern Chestatee River in Murrayville.  This three bedroom 2 1/2 bath two-story cabin was originally built in 1985. The property has 75 feet of waterfront footage on Lake Lanier. It included a covered single slip dock with party deck. But the most sought after factors of this property were drought proof water, gentle slope and wide-open water views of Lake Lanier!

Inside the cabin there was a large kitchen with island, plenty of cabinets, keeping room and much more! The home included a veranda style porch with fantastic lake vistas. There was also a stone fireplace, and a very nice outdoor patio with fire pit! There was even an unfinished terrace level basement for further expansion. Lot dimensions were approximately .37 acres and the property felt very private!

Our clients received expert counseling and advice during the purchase process from our team leader, Mandy Hooks.  Mandy was able to secure this fantastic property for our clients for $385,000! Another fantastic purchase, investment and buyer-client representation by our Lake Sidney Lanier Homes Team!  Many thanks as well to Robert Doyle of Keller Williams Realty North Atlanta in his excellent representation of the sellers in the sale!

Seasons Greetings From Lake Lanier! Lake Lanier Homes For Sale & Property Showings In The Wintery Weather!

Seasons Greetings from Lake Lanier! I hope that everyone is getting into the seasonal mood and preparing for Christmas Eve and Christmas morning just a few days away!

Well, even though things seem to be winding down, we have been unexpectedly busy. Since this past weekend we have been out showing homes on the lake in both Hall County and Forsyth County on Lake Lanier. On Saturday we showed homes in Gainesville and Cumming and today we were out showing in Gainesville again.

While we won't be getting a white Christmas we sure are getting a wet Christmas. It's been raining off and on with bands of showers since Sunday. The temperature has been a bit chilly in the forties, and it has made for some very nasty cold weather. But this type of weather brings a solitude and a calmness to Lake Lanier. It is actually quite comforting and relaxing to be out showing property on the waterfront and to enjoy the quiet atmosphere that we've experienced over the past few days.

As always, I managed to take a few photos of the beauty of Lake Lanier during this seasonal holiday. and this special time of year. Take a look below for some of the wonderful photos and the extraordinary experiences that I've witnessed on Lake Lanier over the past few days. Enjoy the holidays! And as always, if we can assist in your lake property search please let us know!

Lake Lanier Real Estate Market Trends As We Wind Down 2014!

We've noticed lately, that we are building a somewhat lengthy list of Lake Lanier home buyers that are struggling to find properties of interest that represent good value in a given price range. This year in particular has been a difficult one for many potential Lake Lanier home buyers. I finally got a moment to sit down and do a little research on why this potential situation might be occurring. 

The site that I went for answers was our local online MLS system. And as of this morning, I found only 269 homes listed for sale on Lake Lanier with a dock or dock permit in place. That's pretty limited inventory! And granted, it is the holiday season and one would expect the inventory and activity to have slowed. Without a doubt we have seen this happen over the last number of weeks. Nonetheless, with only 269 homes to pick from, it can be hard to find that perfect property. 

As of this morning, the highest priced listed property for sale on Lake Lanier according to our research came in at a whopping $8,495,000! However on the lower end of the spectrum, was a property listed at $90,000.

And what about the median price range you ask? Well that seems to have gone up just a bit from the last time that we checked it. This morning, as I research these numbers, it appears that the median price range has floated up a little bit to about $550,000. It seems that we may be gradually getting back to the days when the median price range of homes for sale on Lake Lanier with a dock or dock permit would run about $600,000. 

Lake Lanier Homes For Sale $500,000 - $600,000

So, while the inventory may be limited, and finding exactly what you want might be a little tough, it appears that prices might edge up a little bit into next year. Typically the inventory of homes listed for sale starts ramping up as the weather starts warming up a bit and the Spring weather calls for more lake visitors. And that really starts in around mid February. So, for all you potential Lake Lanier home buyers out there that didn't find your home this year there is hope! But, it may cost you a little more. We'll just have to see if the normal market uptick and the increase of listing activity and inventory prevail in the new year. Stay tuned right here for all of the details!
