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!

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!
