4+ Car Garage Homes in Gwinnett, GA… What’s available?

I try to sneak into the local MLS every few eeks and take a look at the overall picture of 4+car garage properties available in Gwinnett County, GA. There are generally a good selection, in fact there is generally a better selection than most of the other counties in Metro Atlanta. Please keep in mind that the MLS rules disallow me from specifically promoting listings belonging to other agents without their written permission, so I have to remain a bit vague. If you would like more info, I can send out the sheets on these and other properties that might interest you… just let me know.

So, what is out there?

There is a pretty good variety of 4+ car garage home properties available in Gwinnett. Let me start with a couple of overall stats.

  • As of today, there are 148 properties on the market listing a 4 car or larger garage (or combination).
  • The median price (half higher, half lower) is $749k.
  • The high price is $8.5m.
  • The low price is $129,900.
  • The majority of the properties have a 4 car garage, only a few are larger.
  • Most common is a 2 car attached and a 2 car detached.

Let’s talk about some homes.

If you are looking for a 4 car garage on a budget, the first property might fit the bill. It is in Snellville, and has a 2 car attached garage and a detached shop that is 30×30 (metal building with a concrete floor). The home is 3 bedroom and 2 baths and is described as totally renovated.

At the other end of the spectrum is an $8.5m home in Suwanee. It has a 6 car garage and is in a private community. Of course there is a pool and pool house, media room/home theater and just about every amenity you could imagine… and only the best finishes. It was originally priced at $10.5m, and has 6 bedrooms, 6 full and 4 half baths.

Of course, most people are somewhere in the middle. And, in the middle we find a home priced at $749k. Here we find a house that is about 2 miles from the Mall of Georgia, and has a 5 car garage, 7 bedrooms, 4 full and 2 half baths, full finished basement and 5 acres. It has a barn. This house also has two full kitchens and laundry rooms.

Halfway between the median and the top is a home with a 4 car garage in the Sugarloaf Country Club priced at $1,798,000. This house is a 5/5/2 (bedrooms/full baths/half baths) with a full basement. The neighborhood has a pool, tennis and a great golf course.

Halfway between the median and the entry level is a brand new home in Lawrenceville. It is priced at $449,900, and has 5 bedrooms and 4 full baths. The 4th garage is actually a boat door in the basement, but I have found that those can be great places to assemble or display a highlight from the collection. In fact, I know of a few people that have built the “boat bay” into an incredible featuring the car as art. this builder also features a trade-in program so that a potential buyer may be able to skip having to sell their home first.

Wrap up…

Usually when I start talking about 4+ car garages people assume that the homes will be out of this world expensive. But, there might very well be one that fits your price range. Here is a little breakdown:

  • 10 homes under $200k
  • 5 homes from $200k – $300k
  • 15 homes from $300k – $400k
  • 15 homes from $400k – $500k
  • 9 homes from $500k – $600k
  • 16 homes from $600k – $700k
  • 6 homes from $700k – $800k
  • 6 homes from $800k – $900k
  • 3 homes from $900k – $1m
  • 15 homes from $1m – $1.5m
  • 17homes from $1.5m – $2m
  • 16 homes from $2m – $3m
  • 7 homes from $3m – $4m
  • 7 homes above $4m

So, while there is a good representation at the higher end of the spectrum, there is a pretty good distribution of homes across the full spectrum.

New Gwinnett County Market Report is out

I have loaded the new Gwinnett County Market Report onto GarageHomesUSA.

The news is mixed… and that is better than all bad.

Good.

  • Days on Market went down.
  • Listed/Sold % went up.
  • New Listings down from last year.

Bad.

  • Absorption Rates not good yet.
  • Sales still down from last year.
  • Listed/Sold % still weak.
  • Days on Market needs to drop more.

For the real story, follow the link and read up.

We did it now…

Some of you might know that our oldest son (soon to be 4 years old), Garrett, has been taking skating lessons for about 3 1/2 months. He wants to play hockey… and be a Goalie.

Today, my mother bought him his first pair of hockey skates. He will also be getting some player gloves (as opposed to a goalie blocking.catching set) for lessons. His birthday is later this month, but we needed him for the sizing… so, he knows they are coming.

In celebration, I have a couple of videos. First up is one from Garrett’s skating class. He is the one in the white Thrasher’s jersey.


The next video is pulled from YouTube. It is a 10 year old Goalie’s highlight reel. As of right now, this is what my son wants to do.

He has a ball skating, and that is the important part of it. Each time we go for the lessons, we have to hang out and watch the kids that practice hockey when we are done. He loves it… almost as much as watching the Zamboni.

Are you in a car club?

It is pretty obvious that my blog and website cater to the type of people that would be in some sort of car club.  Well, I am too.

So, if you are in a car club, especially one that is in the Atlanta area, or has a chapter around here, I’d love to provide a free rotating banner ad on GarageHomesUSA.com.   FREE.  That’s it.  I don’t need the email addresses of your members.  You don’t have to invite me to talk about real estate at a meeting.  I don’t expect a banner ad on your club’s website in exchange.  All I need is a banner that is 340 pixels wide by 170 high, and an address to link it to for your website.

So, why would I do this?

Why not.  Like I said, I’m in a club.  In fact, I’m President of a club. (GBR4WD).  We are always looking for new members.  And, a lot of the hits to my site are auto enthusiasts from other parts of the country looking to relocate to the Atlanta area… and aside from looking for a home, many would be looking for a club, too.

If you would like for me to talk about real estate at a meeting, or if you want to give me a banner spot on your club’s website, that fine.  I won’t ask…

Send me those banners.

And they walked away…

While sitting down to update the GarageHomesUSA website today, I turned on the NASCAR race. During qualifying the other day, Michael McDowell, a rookie, got a serious introduction to the “safer barrier” and the Car of Tomorrow.

Despite already being an incredibly safe sport, NASCAR has upped the ante with the new car, and installed a new type of impact absorbing wall on almost all of the tracks. If there were any doubts about the effectiveness of these improvements, the first clip will lay those to rest.

Of course, the NASCAR boys aren’t the only ones to crash and crash big. Here is a compilation of Rally crashes. There are some amazing impacts that drivers and navigators walked away from.

Have fun and stay safe out there. Even if your car looks like one of these… it probably isn’t BUILT like one of these. And even if it is, I’m betting the other cars involved won’t be.
