Congratulations To Our Clients On The Purchase Of Their Lake Lanier Condo At Habersham Pointe!

We had a fantastic closing today on the sale of one of the units at Lake Lanier's very popular condo development,  Habersham Pointe.  Located at the end of Habersham Marina Road in Cumming is the site of a fantastic group of gated condominiums on Lake Lanier.  These units feature large, open water views of the south end of Lake Lanier, looking toward Mary Alice Park.  They are just a stone's throw from the water, and benefit from a meticulously manicured, grassed shoreline with community docks and dry stack boat storage availability right next door at Habersham Marina.  These condos offer jaw dropping views of big water, and are perfectly located just off Buford Dam Road in Cumming.

We represented our clients in their purchase of Unit 201 A.  This was a ground floor unit with two bedrooms, two full baths, a gorgeous living room with fireplace, a modern open kitchen, and a covered deck overlooking Lanier.  There is a fabulous pool within the gated community, and access was simply a short walk across a small parking lot.  This condo also included a spacious lower level storage room with access from the shore level of the building.

Dollar for dollar, these condo homes provide excellent views of Lake Lanier, easy access to boating and lake amenities, and can serve perfectly as full-time residences or care-free weekend getaways.  To see all of the incredible views and details of this Lake Lanier condo, simply click on one of the links below!  The unit that our clients purchased was successfully listed at $259,000 by Vic Shirley with Coldwell Banker in Cumming. Congratulations to Vic as well, on a great job representing the sellers!

Lake Lanier Housing Market Report For July 2013! We Take A Look At The Sales Trends And Values!

Today in Lake Lanier real estate, we're taking a look at a comparative market analysis of Lake Lanier home sales for July 2013. And what we see in the analysis, is that 24 homes sold on Lake Lanier last month. These were stick-built homes that do not include mobile homes or modular homes as they are defined in the MLS system. Of the 24 homes that sold, the average home was a four bedroom, three full bath, and one half bath home. The original list price of the homes averaged out at $485,417. On average, this original list price was reduced to an average price of $469,142. This in turn, resulted in an average sales price of $439,345. The breakdown on this number, can be viewed in the form of a sales price to original list price ratio. That ratio breaks down to 89.97%. In more simple terms the original list price was discounted a little bit more than 10% off in order to achieve the final sales price. Total days on market came in at 109.

Individual Lake Lanier Home Sales Details

So you might ask what does all of this mean? And for the answer to that question, we need only look to our Lake Lanier Housing Market Report which can be found on LakeSidneyLanierHomes.com. Going back one year, to July 2012, we can see that our records show that the same number of homes sold in July 2012 as did in July 2013. However, there was a big difference in the average sales price. In 2012 our numbers showed the average sales price was $535,996 versus this year's number of $439,345. Those numbers translate to a difference of a little bit more than an 8% reduction in the average sales price of a Lake Lanier home in July 2013 as compared to July 2012. Nevertheless, we don't get too worried about comparing single months in different years as it relates to average pricing. We feel that the trend will be established and noticeable at the end of this year when we compare the whole year of 2013 to the whole year of 2012. For now, we'll say that the total number of sales transactions for Lake Lanier houses in 2013 is out pacing 2012 by about 13 percent.

This Fantastic Lake Lanier Home For Sale Just Got A Lot Better!

This fantastic Lake Lanier home for sale just got a lot better! When we originally listed this home, the list price was $319,000! Today, this home has been reduced to a stunningly low $280,000! So what are you getting for your money? For starters, let's just say that you're getting one of the neatest Lake Lanier cottages available.  This home, as we have said before, has tons of lake charm and is really characteristic of the quintessential Lake Lanier cottage. Located at 6237 White Oak Dr. in Flowery Branch, this cottage was originally built in 1975 but has been restored and lovingly cared for!

This gorgeous cottage features three bedrooms, two full baths and has two stories over a crawlspace. It includes hardwood floors, exposed beams, a large cozy fireplace that is irresistible, and three large decks overlooking a private backyard! It has a bonus guest room located over the two-car attached covered parking! So, if included, it could be a fourth bedroom.  The property is professionally landscaped and includes almost 1 acre of privacy with a beautiful stream that runs behind the home. You will also find a platform dock in a very quiet cove just a short distance away from Old Federal Park and big South Lake sailing waters!

Other features include a loft master bedroom with its own private deck, a dining-great room combination, and two large bedrooms on the main floor.  The guest bedroom over the two-car carport could easily be improved and potentially attached to the main living area. There is plenty of room for parking, and the three large decks provide ample space for outdoor enjoyment. This Lake Lanier home is truly about a lot more than just the lake. It embodies a special feel, which only a cozy cottage can provide! The home literally takes you back to earlier days on Lake Lanier! It provides scenic enjoyment and quiet, peaceful surroundings on a large lot with great outdoor living spaces! The home includes a platform dock which would be perfectly suitable for cove activities such as fishing, kayaking, canoeing, or just hanging out on your pontoon boat.

The owner of this fabulous cottage also owns an additional lot next door. It can be purchased at a separate price, and it also includes a platform dock in the cove.  Imagine having between 1 and 2 acres on Lake Lanier with two docks, in a quiet cove and the privacy that would naturally come with owning that much lake property. This home represents extraordinary value and an incredible opportunity for a very special lakefront ownership experience! Call us today for your exclusive tour of this one-of-a-kind property!

A Great Weekend On Lake Lanier! Showing Lake Lanier Homes And Dining Lakeside!

We had a great weekend here at Lake Lanier!  While rain was expected most of the weekend, the sun prevailed except for a few times in the late afternoon.  The weather was not too hot, and it was more than acceptable for showing Lake Lanier homes on Saturday morning.  We focused on a few lakefront properties in the $250K-$350K price range.  All of the homes had nice settings and a lot to offer.  Here's a look at the Lake Lanier homes that we toured:

Property Listings 3177 Madera Way Gainesville, GA MLS Number: 5133187 Listing Price: $349,900   View Details 5244 Trudy Cir Gainesville, GA MLS Number: 7063479 Listing Price: $299,900   View Details 3569 Stancil Road Gainesville, GA MLS Number: 5150667 Listing Price: $274,000   View Details

The good times continued Sunday!  We headed out on Sunday late morning and headed to one of our favorite lunch spots.  With schools starting back, we thought that the lake would be a bit quiet and the restaurants would be quick and easy.  As it turned out, the gorgeous weather brought the lake traffic and there were plenty of boaters out enjoying the sunny weather, especially on the south end of Lanier.  We made the trip from Lathem Bay in Gainesville down to Aqualand and Dockside Grill in Flowery Branch.  Of course, no trip to Dockside Grill would be complete without one of their Lake Famous Docker Burgers.  I tried a new version, The California, a huge Docker Burger with Guacamole, tomatoes and all of the fixins including fries!  Everything was delicious as usual.  And the best part of Dockside Grill is the dog friendly atmosphere.  Bring your pooch!  We love seeing the lakers and their pets!  There's fun for all at Aqualand!

A Few Thoughts Regarding Lake Lanier's Water Level!

This afternoon I crossed over Lake Lanier at Buford Dam. The Lake Lanier water level is as high as I have seen recently. Today the level was at 1072.50. As I crossed the dam, I noticed that the water level was actually all the way up to the sidewalk at West Bank Park. In many areas around the dam, the water was all the way into the trees and grassy areas. The water flowing out of the dam and into the Chattahoochee River was flowing at a pretty good clip, and the water level seemed very high. This was at about 2:30 P.M. today. With all of this said, we received a lot more rain today, at least in the city of Cumming. And we are scheduled to get more rain on Friday. It really makes the lake look beautiful with the water level up this high. But one does have to wonder about the effects of this high water level as it relates to erosion and shoreline management. What's your feeling about this Summer's Lake Lanier level? I bet we know what you're thinking!

Real Estate Trends For The Metro Atlanta Housing Market! Catch Up On The Intown Real Estate Stats!

We have said it many times before, and we'll say it again.  While the Metro Atlanta real estate market is very different from the Lake Lanier real estate market, there are indeed some similarities.  Many home owners that own homes at Lake Lanier, also own primary homes in the Metro Atlanta area.  When it comes to decisions on buying and selling their homes, these home owners weigh the stats in both markets.  For many reasons the two markets are tied, and that is why we think it is always important to view the trends in Atlanta.  The following slide presentation, shows the latest stats for the Atlanta real estate market as well as the production results for Prudential Georgia Realty as they compare to other brokers in our market area. The slides are packed with valuable information produced by research gathered by Prudential Georgia Realty.  Take a look at the slides and contact us with questions or comments.  We look forward to hearing from you!
