We're drilling down on some statistics for Lake Lanier home sales today. I just ran a scan of our local FMLS system and found a total of 313 homes for sale on Lake Lanier. Looking at the sales from last month (May), the homes sold appears to be 19. That would not include mobile or modular homes. So, not bad for May! A few more have been recorded this year in May versus last year in May, so I suppose we can say that things are improving!

Lake Lanier Real Estate Today!
We were back out showing Lake Lanier real estate yesterday! We showed a tremendous Lake Lanier foreclosure home in Harbour Point, and a waterfront lot in Gainesville.
The home in Harbour Point was not waterfront, but did take advantage of some tremendous Lake Lanier views that could be accessed from the outdoor deck. Harbour Point has some very nice elevations, which provide long range views of Lake Lanier and the North Georgia mountains. Many of the homes can also take advantage of having a boat slip in the Marina, which is centrally located inside the community. We showed the home located at 3554 Waterfront, in Harbour Point. It's a John Wieland home and one of the Colonnade products. Very nice indeed!
Our Lake Lanier waterfront lot showing was at Lot 28 Hawks Nest Drive, Gainesville, Georgia. A nice property at the end of the street with good privacy and potential build site. The lot includes a single slip dock with party deck and has just been reduced over $100,000! It is currently for sale for $195,000.
We'll be back out on the lake today showing more properties and walking the shores of Lake Lanier! Please contact us if we can show Lake Lanier real estate to you and your family!

Lake Lanier Recreation, Dining & Real Estate!
We are enjoying extensive boat rides, dining and photography on Lake Lanier this week. Part of our summer staycation as it might be called. Today we went to lunch at Skogies Restaurant at Gainesville Marina on Lake Lanier. Known for their delicious Grouper dishes, Skogies did not disappoint. Fantastic food and service as always.
After lunch, we boated north to Wahoo Creek in Gainesville on Lake Lanier. It was a long ride, but the views were truly memorable on this more rural and remote area of Lake Lanier. Here's a look at today's photos and some of the high end real estate along Wahoo Creek. The home photos are from a neighborhood called Cherokee Forest in Gainesville. The following link will show homes for sale in Cherokee Forest on Lake Lanier.

Lake Lanier Real Estate Today!
We were out on the lake yesterday and out on the town last night. It was a quiet day on Lake Lanier yesterday during the day. Naturally, the busy weekends turn to quiet weekdays out here on the water.
Last night we headed into downtown Gainesville for a little dinner on Historic Green Street. I took the following photos of one of our favorite spots for pizza. Can you guess where? It's some of the best pizza you'll find anywhere around the Lake Lanier area! Check out the photos for a hint!
Today, we were out showing a couple of Lake Lanier homes in Forsyth County near Brown's Bridge Road in Gainesville. We viewed two very nice homes on great water. Check out the details on these properties by clicking on the following links:
9130 Four Mile Creek Road, Gainesville, GA.
9030 Beaver Trail, Gainesville, GA.

Friday Night Travels Around Lake Lanier
Wow! What a Friday night we had last night. I can tell you this post will be short on real estate and more on things to do around Lake Lanier. Last night started early around 6:30. Since we lost an anchor for our boat the previous weekend, we decided to head over to the store that has it all when it comes to boating, West Marine! Located in Buford on Lake Lanier Islands Parkway, this place has it all!
We were quick to get what we wanted and make a fast getaway to dinner. But where? Well, how about Lake Lanier Islands? It's been a while since I've been to the Islands by car, but with so many new venues we headed on over. What an improvement from the days of old! And what a picturesque setting! You could spend a day on the ground at Lake Lanier Islands and fill up an incredible photo album! Seriously, there are incredible vistas at every turn. I really enjoyed seeing the new restaurants, grounds and Legacy Lodge. We took photos with the Android, but some of these pics would have been better with a true, full scale camera. But, here's what we were able to quickly snap at Legacy Lodge. Very nicely renovated and inviting!
And a few more pics of the beautiful grounds of the Islands!
The beauty is everywhere at Lake Lanier Islands! But we know other spots for dining in Buford that are good too. If you're in the mood for great food in an old town square atmosphere, check out the square in downtown Buford. Aqua Terra Bistro is one of the best restaurants in the area! Great wine, fantastic food, in a romantic, historical area. It's hard to go wrong at Aqua Terra, and it always makes for an elegant evening. Here are a few of the photos from downtown Buford!

Lake Lanier Islands Photos
Welcome to the weekend! My wife and I drove through Lake Lanier Islands this evening to see the latest improvements. My Droid Phone's camera just doesn't portray some of the amazing photography available at the Islands. However, these two were photos that I just had to post! More to come tomorrow...Stay with us!

Lake Lanier Real Estate Today!
Today in Lake Lanier real estate, we're focusing on a new incentive to help promote two of our Lake Lanier lot listings that are for sale in Cloister Cove. As a bonus to real estate agents searching for property for their clients, our seller is offering an additional 3% bonus to the selling broker on Lot 1 and/or Lot 6 in Cloister Cove. The bonus will be awarded at closing for an accepted offer by July 16, 2012 which results in a closing on one or both lots by August 31, 2012! This is a tremendous opportunity for agents to earn additional income on the sale of these gorgeous lake properties. We've featured both of these lots before in our blog, but in case you missed the news, full details are linked to the respective videos and flyers below!
The detailed property flyers provide the data and features for each lot! Please check the following links for the flyers:
9030 Old Terry Ford Road, Lot 1 Cloister Cove, Gainesville, GA.
9035 Hayes Drive, Lot 6 Cloister Cove, Gainesville, GA.
Now, I know most of you readers really want to know what our lunch spot was today! Well, since we were off the south end of Lake Lanier in Cumming, we had to hit a local spot called Decker's Express for salads to go. Located in Lakeland Plaza, this local favorite has been around for a number of years. Great salads, burgers, sandwiches and deserts! Check out their FB Page in the link above and their location below!

In closing, it should be another great weather weekend on the lake. Temps should be in the low 80's during the day and high 50's at night. The cool front is moving in along with the sunshine! We plan on maximizing the opportunity for photos on the water. Please provide you comments on where you'll be hanging out on Lake Lanier this weekend, and be sure to include your photos!
