I just posted up the January/February Market Report for Gwinnett County on Garage Homes USA. I wish I could say that the market has turned, but I can’t.

I heard voices…

And they were smart voices.

I just ran some numbers for my business coach. The numbers were absorption rates for 3+ car garage homes in Gwinnett.
