Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Georgia Properties Homeowner Sentiment Survey For Q1 2015

Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices is pleased to announce the results of our 1st Quarter 2015 Consumer Sentiment Survey. The survey results are organized into the following segments:

  • How is Home Value Defined Today? 
  • What is Most Important to Buyers and Sellers? 
  • What are the Differences in Generational Preferences? 
  • What are Priorities for Increasing Home Values? 
  • How Does Your Agent Add Value to the Real Estate Process? 
  • What is the State of the Real Estate Market Today?
The survey shows that homeowners and prospective buyers define value in broader terms of personal confidence in their housing investment and how a property meets their family needs now and in the future. As housing markets across America continue their recovery and with home equity rising for many, homeowners have increasing options. One-third of homeowners said they’ve considered selling their home in the near future. Those selling, want homes that better fit their changing lifestyles and life events.

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.

122 BROOKWOOD Drive
Dawsonville, GA
MLS Number: 5313018
Listing Price: $90,000
 
View Details

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. 


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!

Lake Lanier Home Sales Report For The First Four Months Of 2014! Looks Like The Buyers May Have The Upper Hand!

Today in Lake Lanier real estate, we decided to delve into the 2014 numbers a little bit deeper! In order to do that we ran some searches in the MLS system to determine the number of homes that sold this year versus last year, and the average price range for homes sold this year versus last year. For starters, here's what we found.

In 2013, during the first four months of the year, our research shows that 50 Lake Lanier homes sold at an average price of $519,738. Taking a look at 2014, the numbers are somewhat different. During the first four months of this year, we found that 84 Lake Lanier homes sold, and the average sales price was $466,878.

So, we have some good news, and we have some bad news. The good news is that so far in 2014, 68% more homes have sold on Lake Lanier versus the same time frame in 2013! In my opinion that's a huge increase, and it makes me feel positive about the future of Lake Lanier home sales. Now for the bad news. Even though more homes are selling the average sales price has declined moderately by about 10%.

Now, I'm sure you know and understand that numbers can be manipulated in many ways, and in this case we are merely looking at four months of sales activity in the early part of 2014 when the cold weather dominated the area. But clearly, Lake Lanier buyers are coming out in force and are taking advantage of some good opportunities to purchase lakefront properties at prices slightly less than the previous year. It is still early in the year, and the traditional Spring selling market has just gotten underway. For now, we're going to keep an eye on these numbers. But based on what we see at this point, the buyers seem to be in the driver's seat of this Lake Lanier real estate market.
