Market stats for Lawrenceville, December, 2010, indicate that there are 1594 properties on the market. Overall, there is about an 9.9 month supply of properties.
In 2009, sales for December jumped between November and December (166 to 175). For 2010, December sales jumped to 176 from 153 in November.
For Lawrenceville Homes Under $200k, there are 1347 listings, with about a 9.4 month supply of homes. It is an anomaly right now among Gwinnett Market/Price segments. The inventory went up for December, as did the number of months of inventory. Sales were up slightly from December 2009 (152 v 149). But, like other segments, sales were up significantly from last month (139 in November).
Between $200k and $400k, there are 208 listings for sale, and about 11.8 months of supply. Like many segments, with sales up and listings down, the Absorption Rate improves. It hasn’t been this strong all year. With 23 sales in December, 2010, the 24 in December, 2009, compares well. And it rocks compared to the 14 in November this year.
From $400k to $600k, there are 29 homes on the market. The absorption rate is around 87 months. However, with the level of sales in this segment, a couple of sales added or subtracted can have a HUGE impact. December had the first sale (1) since June, and only three in May and June (combined). Those were the only sales in the segment this year. However, there were two in December, 2009.
- In the $600k to $800k arena, there are 5 listings, with about 30 months of supply. As with the next lower priced segment, a couple of sales makes a big difference and there were only two sales since November, 2009 (One each, April and July). The drop off in the number of listings is making the Absorption Rate look better.
Between $800k and $1M, and Above $1M there are 5 homes listed (combined) and not enough sales data to give an accurate absorption rate. There has only been one sale in this range in the last 2 years (Aug, 2010), according to FMLS.
