As of this morning, the week of rain that we have endured here at Lake Lanier has resulted in a lake that is now 2+ feet over full summer pool and 3+ feet over full winter pool. The increase in the water level occurred so quickly that home owners have not had the time to pull their docks in and many of the ramps are now partially submerged. Here's a look at what a lake level of 1073.25 looks like along the shoreline in my Lake Lanier neighborhood. With more rain expected this week, the dock companies will be running full speed to try to reign in as many docks as possible! No complaining! This should be much appreciated come Spring when everyone hits the lake again for water sports and recreation.

For those familiar with nearby Atlanta area residences, this home could best be described as a Buckhead / Morningside home right on the shores of Lake Lanier.

Our market analysis is generated at the beginning of each month. It is designed to show you Lake Lanier home sales statistics. Each month, we search the First Multiple Listing Service for home sales (closings) based on the following criteria:
Area: All counties with frontage on Lake Lanier. Specifically Forsyth, Dawson, Lumpkin, Hall, and Gwinnett counties.
Status: Sold (Closed Transactions)
Dock: Our searches scan for houses that have some form of dock in place. The analysis includes properties with single slip, double slip, triple slip, or platform docks that are in place and advertised in the listings as part of the sale. If there is a permit for a dock, but no dock in place, the property was not included in the analysis. If the dock was listed as a boathouse and not as a dock it was not included in this search and report.
Lake Frontage: The home must be a waterfront property on Lake Lanier as described as lake frontage in the First Multiple Listing Service.
Exclusions: Our analysis does not include mobile homes, modular homes, condominiums or townhomes.
This market analysis is deemed to be accurate, but is not warranted. It is meant to give a general idea and overview of the current housing market for waterfront homes on Lake Lanier. Search criteria for the report are included at the bottom of the SlideShare.

If you're searching for a Lake Lanier waterfront lot or vacant land but are put off by the price of purchasing waterfront, maybe it's time to consider thinking outside of the box. As an option, we recommend the possibility of locating a property that is near the lake, not waterfront, but with nearby amenities like a boat launch or marina that might suit your needs at a much more affordable price.
For example, consider this property that is presently listed for sale. 5618 Flat Creek Road in Gainesville, GA. Now, take a look at the Google Earth and mapping shot of the property as shown below...
What do you see? Well for starters, this property is located on the southeastern side of Lake Lanier on a rather large peninsula that is virtually surrounded by water! That type of land and water location make for a nice setting for a marina, and you'll notice that Sunrise Cove Marina is very close by. It's actually so close that you can see the front gate of Sunrise Cove Marina from the driveway of 5618 Flat Creek Road!
View to the gate of Sunrise Cove Marina from 5618 Flat Creek Road
That's walking distance, golf cart ride, bike ride or whatever you chose. The option here is that even though this property is not waterfront, the owner has the convenient option of joining Sunrise Cove Marina and getting a long list of amenities including...
So, as an option to being waterfront, this property at 5618 Flat Creek Road in Gainesville really makes a case. Summing up, the listing characteristics include...
