Sugar Hill, GA, Market Report, August 2013

Market stats for Sugar Hill, GA , August, 2013 indicates that there were 110 homes on the market, up 8 from last month. Overall, there is about an 3.0 month supply (2.7 last month). There were 36 sales, compared to 38 last month and 22 last August. Of course, then there were 139 listings on the market.

For Sugar Hill homes priced under $200k, there were 52 listings, with about 2.5 months supply. There were 26 sales this August, below last year for the same time (16). There were 19 sales last month. Inventories have been fluid, rising and falling. This time of year we often see a slight increase in listings… but we are still very low. In fact, sales may be stifled by lack of inventory. Things have been a little choppy, though… up one month, down the next, then back up.

Sugar Hill Listings between $200k and $400k, there are 50 listings for sale, and about 3.3 months of supply. Last August there was a 2.7 month supply. There were 5 sales then, this year there were 9. Last month had 18 sales. We are still in Seller’s Market territory though. Of note, from May, 2012, to June, 2012, the Absorption Rate dropped from 10.5 months of inventory to 5.4. It had spent almost a year above 10… and now has spent over a year below 10.

For listings in the $400k to $600k range, there were 5 homes on the market. The absorption rate was around 5 months, but with 1 sale this month, it is tough to calculate accurately. Obviously, a sale or two could make a BIG difference. I’ve finally started to see some consistency here. Hopefully we’ll have a little more action during the rest of the active selling season.

In the $600k to $800k, $800k to $1m and Above $1m (combined), the sales are too inconsistent to have a solid read on, but there were 3 homes listed for sale in these price ranges. No sales have been recorded in the last 2+ years.

Sugar Hill, GA is a suburb of Atlanta in Gwinnett County. The population is 2000 was 11,399, but that only included the area inside the city limits. The name comes from a bag of Sugar that spilled on a hill while in transit between Cumming and the railroad in Buford. And while it is actually a big market, it is in the shadows of Lawrenceville, Duluth and Suwanee… which all are nearby. That also makes it a great location, as it is close to everything that Gwinnett County, GA has to offer.

Suwanee, GA, Market Report, August, 2013

Market stats for Suwanee, GA, August, 2013 indicate that there were 314 properties on the market (down from 340 last month). Overall, there was about a 2.7 month supply of properties (down from 2.8 last month). August had 108 sales. Compared to August, 2012 (111), this year was a little down, but inventory was down compared to 2012 (406). There were 124 sales last month, so this month was also lower. The machine has really cranked up over the last three months, and Suwanee seems to be bucking the current Gwinnett county trend which is still good, but slowing.

In the Under $200k arena, there were 49 listings in Suwanee, GA, with about a 2.3 month supply (compared to 2.4 months supply last year). This August’s sales were 16 (37 last year, 26 last month). It used to be a county leader, though, for now it is moving back to one of the best price/locale segments again. The next level up is coming up fast, though. Last year at this time, there were 100 listings. Sales are being killed by last year’s, but the way the inventory has dropped, there is a pretty good chance that the low inventory is constricting sales.

Between $200k and $400k, there were 159 listings for sale (192 last year, 174 last month), and 2.2 months of supply. Sales in August, 2013 were 70 (78 in July), compared with 61 for the same period in 2012. Sales have rocked for the last few months.  This shouldn’t be a “peaky” market/price segment. Unlike most of the county, this is the largest price segment in the area, and its direction plays a major part in how the area looks. Make no mistake, this is still way in Seller’s Market territory. This is one of a very few areas where the $200k-$400k segment is ahead of the under $200k segment.

From $400k to $600k, there were 55 homes on the market. The absorption rate was at 3.2 months (3.5 in July). There were 17 sales in August (17 last month)… up from 9 last year at this time. Looking at the three month average, there were 51 sales this year and 28 for the same period last year. This segment had become dramatically stronger in the last couple of months.

In the $600k to $800k arena, there are 24 listings, with about a 5.1 month supply. Sales at this level are not consistent, but there were 4 sales this month (3 last month). Looking at one month makes the numbers jump around. For the last three months, sales were 14… For the same time last year, the sales were 13. With the huge decrease in listings over the last couple of months, I was looking for this to become one of the strongest $600k-$800k area in the county. It is fairly strong right now… we’ll have to see if it holds.

The range from $800k to $1m, there are 9 homes listed and 54 months of inventory on the market. There were only 4 sales at this price level in 2011. There were 7 in 2012. This is a tough segment to try to sell in right now, but if inventory stays low, it won’t be quite as rough. But there still needs to be some more sales activity. There was 1 sale in March.  Such a difference between this segment and the one below.

In Suwanee, GA, Above $1m, there are 18 properties listed. The current absorption rate indicated about 27 months of inventory, but because of the smaller numbers of sales, this could be significantly impacted by just a couple of sales. In this segment, we should be seeing reduced inventories… There were 24 homes listed in this segment at this time last year. There was 1 sale in August.

Suwanee, GA is a suburb of Atlanta in Gwinnett, Forsyth and (just a little bit) in Fulton Counties. The population is 2000 was 8,725, but that only included the area inside the city limits, and it had seen tremendous growth since that census. Money Magazine rated Suwanee in the “Top 10 Best Places to Live” in 2007, and it is one of the wealthiest parts of Georgia. Recently, the City of Suwanee has revamped their old town, adding a large park with a bandshell, condos, town homes and small businesses. It is also home to North Gwinnett High School, Peachtree Ridge and Collins Hill.

Lilburn, GA Market Report, July, 2013

Market stats for Lilburn, GA, July, 2013, indicate that there were 209 properties on the market, up 7 from last month. Overall, there was about an 3.6 month supply of properties and 71 properties that closed (sold) in July! It was a decrease from last year’s sales (84) but huge compared to June’s (43 sales). The Absorption Rate notched down slightly. Lilburn had been among the weakest of Gwinnett County, GA, cities I track. But, at 3.58months of inventory, it is fairly strong now. Six months is considered balanced, lower is a seller’s market and higher is a buyer’s market.

In the sub-$200k arena, there were 119 listings, with about an 2.7 month supply with 48 sales. This represents most of the sales in the market area. Sales were way up from last month (32), and down from last year (61). While the Absorption Rate isn’t as low as many other areas, sales are strong, and I’m think we are in a comeback for Lilburn.

Between $200k and $400k, there are 77 listings for sale, and about 5.9 months of supply. This segment had been quite weak for months, and had stalled a little, but came back with a vengeance… only to stall a bit again. There were 19 sales compared to 11 last month and 20 last year. Lilburn has never been seen as a luxury market. The decrease in listings had really helped, but they have started to rise again. I’m still not as confident about this portion of the Lilburn market coming back quite yet… It is strengthening, just not as consistently as I’d like… We are barely back in Balanced Market territory.

From $400k to $600k, there are just 11 homes on the market. The absorption rate is 6.6 months. There was 4 sales in July. Poised for a comeback, but an increase in listings and weak sales don’t give the right ingredients for that to happen. To start with, we can’t have 7 month blank spots in sales (none from Aug11 through Mar12). If we can keep up a sale each month on average, this one will be back. We have a good start… and seeing the A/R drop from 3 YEARS to under 7 months on back to back months is pretty nice.

From $600k to $800k, $800k to $1M and Above $1M, there is 2 listing (combined), but too few sales to have any sort of reliable number of months of inventory. The listing between $800k and $1M, and there is no market activity in the last 12 months for any of those ranges…

Lilburn is in Gwinnett County, GA, just outside of Atlanta. As of the 2000 Census, there were 11,307 people in Lilburn, but that is only including people in the city limits, and there has been a lot of growth since 2000 in Gwinnett County. It was incorporated in 1910. Lilburn is home to Parkview High School, and also has students in the Brookwood, Berkmar and Meadowcreek clusters. It is also home to Killian Hill Christian School, Providence Chrisian Academy, St. John Neumann Catholic School and Parkview Christian School. Possibly the most famous resident of Lilburn is General Beauregard Lee, a groundhog with a better winter prediction record that Puxatawnee Phil up in PA. Dominique Wilkins, formerly of the Atlanta Hawks also lives in Lilburn.

Norcross, GA, Market Report, July 2013

Market stats for Norcross GA, July, 2013 indicate that there were 159 properties on the market, up 1 from last month. Overall, there is about a 3.6 month supply of properties. The last year has been fairly strong… it hasn’t slowed much, if at all. July saw 38 sales, down from the 48 last month and compared to the 54 for July last year.

6774613538_9023a107b2_mIn the sub-$200k arena, there were 72 listings, with about 3.3 month supply. Sales are down a little from last month (24) and way down from a year ago in this segment, which is the main driver of sales in this area (14 v 35 – Jul13 v Jul12). For the last two years, the AR has been tilted in favor of sellers.  We seem to be weakening a bit, though.

Between $200k and $400k, there were 69 listings for sale, and about 3.8 months of supply. This segment had been weakening for the last few months. But, the 19 sales were up from last year’s 16 sales, and down from last month’s 20 sales. Even though it isn’t as gangbusters as some of the other areas, it is certainly better than the 28 months of inventory we had in December, 2010. I think this is starting to look like a pretty settled market here…

From $400k to $600k, there were 15 homes on the market. The Absorption Rate is around 3.5 months. The AR last year had been fairly steady all summer, then shot WAY up in September/October. July’s 5 sales were down from the 3 last month and from last year’s 2 sales. This has actually been a pretty good area for homes in this price range to sell… for the last few months.

In the $600k to $800k arena, there were 2 listings on the market. The Absorption Rate is at 6 months of inventory… but with only 4 sales in 2010 and 4 sales in 2011, obviously it is easy to bump one way or the other. One reason for the strong looking Absorption Rate last month was that there were so few listings. The was 0 sales for Jul13, 1 for Jun13 and 1 for Jul12.

The range from $800k to $1m, there were 0 homes listed on the market and 0 sales in July. There were no sales last year. Unfortunately there isn’t enough data for a good A/R number.

Above $1m, there was 1 property listed. But because of the smaller numbers of sales, the absorption rate could be significantly impacted by just a couple of sales. There is simply not enough activity for an A/R figure. The last sale was January 2011.

 

Norcross, GA is a suburb of Atlanta in Gwinnett County. The population is 2000 was 8,410 but that only included the area inside the city limits, and it has seen tremendous growth since that census. The City of Norcross revamped their old town a long time ago, and it has served as a model for other towns in the area. It is also home to Meadow Creek and Norcross High Schools. One of the things that Norcross is known for locally is the beautiful older homes in the downtown area. They have maintained their historic flair quite successfully.

Duluth, GA, Market Report, July 2013

Market stats for Duluth, July, 2013 indicated that there were 297 properties on the market, up 6 from last month. Overall, there was about a 3.7 month supply of properties. Sales in July were 84, down from 93 a year earlier. Sales were up compared to the last month (79). Duluth had been slightly leading Gwinnett County as a whole, but not so much over the last few months. It is still in the Seller’s Market zone.

In the Under $200k arena, there were 90 listings in Duluth, GA, with about a 2.8 month supply. The Absorption Rate for last July was 2.6. Sales were WAY down this year v last year (31 v 51), and down a bit compared to last month (35). The Absorption Rate (A/R) is a bit better than much of the county…

Between $200k and $400k, there are 83 listings for sale, and about 2.9 months of supply. Absorption rates have similarly risen, dropped and then risen again. Sales were up compared to July, 2012 (34 v 27) and compared to last month (28). Duluth is a market that favors luxury, and this segment is doing at least as well as I would have expected… but it might be constrained somewhat due to low inventories. It is a solid Seller’s Market.

From $400k to $600k, there were 30 homes on the market. The Absorption Rate was around 3.9 months. July brought in 7 sales. There were 10 last year and 5 last month. Unlike many of the market areas, Duluth is a luxury centric market, and it is doing better than the rest of Gwinnett County, GA, especially at this price level. Two months ago we saw a HUGE drop in the A/R. We’ve spent the last few months wandering around in Buyer’s Market territory. However, because of the drop in listings and increase in sales, this is ostensibly the best Seller’s Market in the county for this price range.

In the $600k to $800k arena, there were 31 listings, with about 6.2 months of supply. Sales were 6 for July… 3 for last year. And month to month sales were down a little (4 v 6). I would like to see three consecutive months with strong sales, and haven’t seen that for a while. Since Duluth does favor luxury sales, it has been looking better than the much of the rest of the County at this price level. That A/R is great, and getting better.

In Duluth, GA, from $800k to $1m, there were 19 homes listed and approximately 6.3 months of inventory on the market. The 4 sales for July were better than the 0 last year but not up to the 5 last month. Sales haven’t been moving much for the last couple of months, but 9 sales for the last 3 months were well under the same 3 months from last year (12 sales).

Above $1m, there were 44 properties listed. The current absorption rate indicated about 11 months of inventory. A couple of sales at this level could have a large impact on the Absorption Rates. There were 12 sales in the May-Jul period this year, and 8 for the same time last year. We should be posting four sales a month here regularly… and we fell short the last few months but barely had a start with it this month with 2 sales. There were 2 sales last year and there was 2 last month.

 

Duluth, GA is a suburb of Atlanta, in the heart of Gwinnett County. It actually straddles the county line and has unincorporated portions in South Forsyth County. The population of Duluth is estimated as about 26,000 people as of 2008, but this doesn’t include unincorporated areas outside the city limits, but with a Duluth mailing address. It is also home to Sugarloaf Country Club, a PGA stop until recently. Forbes Magazine rated Duluth 26th in their nationwide survey of the best places to move, and it is one of the wealthiest parts of Georgia. It is also home to the Arena at Gwinnett Center (Home of the ECHL Gwinnett Gladiators) and the former Atlanta Thrashers practice facility (the Duluth Ice Forum). There is a LONG list of celebrities and athletes that call Duluth home, largely because of the country clubs and proximity to Atlanta.
