Market stats for Lilburn, GA, August, 2011, indicates that there were 431 properties on the market (as of August 31st). Overall, there was about an 7.7 month supply of properties and 48 properties that closed (sold) in August. It was an decrease from last year’s sales (51) and July, 2011 (56 sales). The Absorption Rate notched up slightly. Unfortunately, Lilburn is among the weakest of Gwinnett County, GA, cities I track. But, at 7.74 months of inventory, it isn’t nearly as bad as it had been just a few months ago.
In the sub-$200k arena, there were 306 listings, with about an 6.9 month supply with 37 sales. This represents most of the sales in the market area. Sales decreased markedly from last month (48), and were slightly below last year (38). This is the strongest that Lilburn has been for quite a while. This is easily the strongest market condition for sellers in the last 2+ years (I only have full data back 2 years right now).
Between $200k and $400k, there are 114 listings for sale, and about 11.o months of supply. This segment had been quite weak for months, and has stalled a little. There were 11 sales compared to 9 last year. But, the last time we had an absorption rate under 11 months was in December of 2009. This segment really needs to get back into single digits… but Lilburn has never been seen as a luxury market.
From $400k to $600k, there are just 5 homes on the market. The absorption rate is 5.0 months. There were no sales in this segment from December through February, but there were 2 in March, which really turned the segment around, followed by 1 sale for April. May posted 2 sales, 1 sale in June, 2 in July and none in August.
From $600k to $800k, $800k to $1M and Above $1M, there are 6 listings (combined), but too few sales to have any sort of reliable number of months of inventory. March posted the first sale since August, 2010. It was in the $600-$800k range. One of the listings is above $1M and one between $800k and $1M, and there is no market activity in the last 12 months for those ranges…
