Sugar Hill, GA, Market Report, June 2011

Market stats for Sugar Hill, GA , June, 2011, indicate that there are 217 properties on the market (238 in May). Overall, there is about an 8.5 month supply of properties (9.9 last month).  There were 38 sales, compared to 45 last month and 31 last June.  The Absorption Rate (AR) dropped, but that is largely due to a weak month dropping off… and a reasonably strong month of sales for June.  Unless we drive off a cliff, next months AR should look fairly good, too.

For Sugar Hill homes priced under $200k, there are 148 listings (164 for May), with under 5.1 month supply (6.9 last month).  There were 32 sales this June, 23 last year for the same time.  Inventories have been rising fluid, rising and falling (down 3 months in a row, though).  Normally, this time of year we see inventories ramping up.

Sugar Hill Listings between $200k and $400k, there are 60 listings for sale (64 last month), and about 18 months of supply (12.8 in May).  This segment really took a beating.  Last June there were 8 sales, this year there were 3.  Last month had 4.  This is one of the weakest segments in the county.

For listings in the $400k to $600k range, there are 6 homes on the market (same as last month). The absorption rate is 6 months (72 months in May).  Obviously, a sale or two could make a BIG difference.  There were only 3 sales in this segment last year.  In 2009, there were almost twice as many sales in this price range.  There were 3 sales in June… as many as all of last year.  Any more sales and this will be the best in years at this level.  Still not great, though.

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 are only 3 homes listed for sale in that price range (there were 4 last month).  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, June 2011

Market stats for Suwanee, GA, June, 2011 indicate that there are 629 properties on the market (down from 640 last month). Overall, there is about an 8.4 month supply of properties (down from 8.9 last month).  May sales were up (88), but June reversed the trend with just 63 sales.  Compared to 2010 (88), that was very weak.   Inventory was down slightly compared to 2010 (652).

In the Under $200k arena, there are 183 listings in Suwanee, GA, with about a 5.6 month supply (184 and 6.5, respectively last month).  Last June, there was a 4.8 month supply.  This June’s sales were OK, at 33 (29 last month).  April was VERY strong (37) and last June there were 28.  This is definitely the strongest price segment in Duluth, but not that strong compared to some other areas of the county.

Between $200k and $400k, there are 300 listings for sale (310 last month), and 9.3 months of supply (May was 9.0).  Sales in June, 2011 were 22 (45 in May), compared with 46 for the same period in 2010.  Pretty weak, but even with the decrease in listings, the Absorption Rate (AR) got worse, reversing its trend of the last few months.  So far this year, only February and May posted better sales than 2010.  This segment was MUCH stronger last month.

From $400k to $600k, there are 78 homes on the market (87 last month). The absorption rate is at 14.6 months (14.5 in May).  There were 3 sales in June (10 in May)… down from 11 last June.  Even looking at the three month average, there were 16 sales this year and 28 for the same period last year.  The only good part is that listings are down slightly, and would normally be flat of slightly rising at this time of the year.

In the $600k to $800k arena, there are 30 listings (25 last month), with about a 12.9 month supply (15.0 in May).  Sales at this level are not consistent, but there were 3 this month (2 last month).  Looking at one month makes the numbers jump.  For the last three months, sales were 7…  For the same time last year, the sales were 12.  The segment is weak, but we can’t call a trend… three months ago it was looking stronger and it looks a little stronger again… at least stronger than it was.

The range from $800k to $1m, there are 11 homes listed and 33 months of inventory on the market.  There were only been 4 sales at this price level last year (1 each in January, April, May and December) and one for April this year.  This is a tough segment to try to sell in right now.

In Suwanee, GA, Above $1m, there are 27 properties listed. The current absorption rate indicated about 13.5 months of inventory, but because of the smaller numbers of sales, this could be significantly impacted by just a couple of sales.  Again, we can thank reduced inventory for making the market look healthier (4 sales in Mar-May this year and 6 last year).  But, in this segment, we should be seeing reduced inventories…  There were 33 homes listed in this segment at this time last year. There were 2 sales for June.

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. I have a page dedicated to Suwanee Market Data.

Lawrenceville, GA Market Report, June 2011

Gwinnett County Historic Courthouse, Lawrencev...

Market stats for Lawrenceville, June, 2011, indicate that there were 1548 properties on the market. Overall, there was about a 6.05 month supply of properties. In 2010, sales for June were at 222, so 276 sales was a pretty good increase, year over year.  Coupled with the slight decrease in inventory, things are looking up.  Normally at this time of year we should be seeing healthy increases in month to month sales.

For Lawrenceville, GA, Homes Under $200k, there are 1309 listings, with about an 5.5 month supply of homes.  Sales were way up from June 2010 (254 v 192).  This segment is easily the lion’s share of sales for the area.  Last month this was one of the strongest price/area segments in Gwinnett County.  This month it is strong, but not AS strong.  The big drop in Absorption Rate (AR) is due to strong sales, coupled with slightly lower inventories.

Between $200k and $400k, there are 205 listings for sale, and about 10.8 months of supply.  Oddly, this was one of the weakest segments in the county, again.  The 21 sales for June, 2011 were down from the 28 from June last year.  Sales should have been closer to 30 (if not 40) units for June, and I’d like to see over 30 for July.

From $400k to $600k, there are 26 homes on the market. The absorption rate is around 78 months.  However, with the level of sales in this segment, a couple of sales added or subtracted can have a HUGE impact.  Case in point is that we went from a 12 month AR to a 78 month AR because of a lack of sales for the last 3 months (there was 1 sale in June).  Just 6 months ago there was 87 months of inventory, though…

In the $600k to $800k arena, there are 5 listings, with about 10 months of supply. As with the next lower priced segment, a couple of sales makes a big difference and there was only 1 sale in the last four months.  I was hoping for 2 sales in June… and there were none.  It has been quite a while since sales were strong here… the only saving grace is low inventory.

Between $800k and $1M, and Above $1M there are 3 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.

Lawrenceville is in Gwinnett County, GA, just outside of Atlanta. As of the 2000 Census, there were 22,937 people in Lawrenceville, but that is only including people in the city limits, and there has been a lot of growth since 2000 in Gwinnett County (2008 estimates from the Census Bureau peg population around 29,000). It was incorporated in 1821. Lawrenceville is home to Central Gwinnett High School, and also has students that the Mountain View and Archer clusters. It is also home to Gwinnett Technical College and Georgia Gwinnett College. Another recent addition to Lawrenceville is that it is home to the Gwinnett Braves, playing at the Gwinnett Stadium on GA20 between I-85 and GA316. Possibly the most famous resident of Lawrenceville was Oliver Hardy. As a small boy he lived in Lawrenceville with his parents for a short time. Lawrenceville was also home to Junior Samples. Some of its other residents included Jeff Francouer, Brian McCann and Jennifer Ferrin.

Lilburn, GA Market Report, June 2011

Market stats for Lilburn, GA, June, 2011, indicates that there were 454 properties on the market (as of June 30th). Overall, there was about an 8.5 month supply of properties and 63 properties that closed (sold) in June.  I had been looking for another increase in sales for June and it came through.  And it was an increase over last year’s sales (51) and May, 2011 (54 sales).  The Absorption Rate notched down slightly.  Unfortunately, Lilburn is among the weakest of Gwinnett County, GA, cities I track.

In the sub-$200k arena, there were 309 listings, with about an 7.7 month supply with 48 sales.  This represents most of the sales in the market area.  Sales rose slightly from last month (41), but were more above last year (38).  The Absorption Rate dropped only slightly from 7.9 to 7.7 months of inventory.  This is even a slight improvement over the tax credit fueled buying of this time last year.  If the pace maintains for the next two months, it could mean that Lilburn, GA, is on the verge of a turn.

Between $200k and $400k, there are 132 listings for sale, and about 11.o months of supply.  This segment has been quite weak for months, but has picked up a little strength.  May was a strong follow up to April, which was HUGE… 11 sales compared to just 9 last year.  June pulled down 14 sales, slightly above last year’s 13 homes sold.  If July stays strong (14-15 sales), this could signal a return to a more balanced segment… and Lilburn has been missing that.  (last month I said…) I’ll be looking for around 14 sales for June…  ;^ )

From $400k to $600k, there are just 8 homes on the market. The absorption rate is 6.0 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, and there was 1 sale in June.  It doesn’t seem like much, but this is a segment hasn’t posted that many months with back to back sales…  This is the first time sales have been sales posted four months in a row since 2009.

From $600k to $800k, $800k to $1M and Above $1M, there are 5 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…

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 that 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, May 2011

Image via Wikipedia

Market stats for Norcross GA, May, 2011 indicate that there were 385 properties on the market. Overall, there is about a 7.2 month supply of properties. This year has been very strong so far… although it has slowed the last two months… it hasn’t slowed much.  May saw 52 sales, slightly above the 49 for April and the 48 for last May, but with the slight decrease in listing inventory the Absorption Rate (AR) still built strength.  This is one of the few market areas in Gwinnett to post four strong months in a row.

In the sub-$200k arena, there were 225 listings, with about 5 month supply.  Sales are up sharply from a year ago in this segment, which is the main driver of sales in this area (39 v 32).  For the last two months, the AR has been in the range of balanced… it got a little better this month.  This looks like the strongest price/area segment in Gwinnett County, GA.

Between $200k and $400k, there were 120 listings for sale, and about 18 months of supply.  As strong as the under $200k segment is… this one is that weak.  The 7 sales were a considerable drop from last year’s 13 sales, but a good bump from last month’s 3 sales.  Of course, this segment has always seemed to lag.

From $400k to $600k, there were 34 homes on the market. The absorption rate is around 8.5 months.  The Absorption Rate has been dropping for 5 months.  This is odd considering the performance of the next segment down, but totally in line with the <$200k segment.  May’s 5 sales are down from 2 the month before, and compares favorable to last year’s 2 sales… and the inventory decrease really helped.

In the $600k to $800k arena, there was 1 listing on the market.  Inventories have decreased as sales have increased compared to last year.  The absorption rate is at 1.5 months of inventory… but with only 4 sales last year and then the sale in March and another in May, obviously it is easy to bump one way or the other. The ONLY reason for the strong looking Absorption Rate is that there is only 1 listing.  Only.  For June there are 8 listings… expect a major change in this segment.

The range from $800k to $1m, there was 1 homes listed on the market and no sales… seemingly forever.

Above $1m, there were 4 properties listed.  But because of the smaller numbers of sales, the absorption rate could be significantly impacted by just a couple of sales.  The single sale in January (first since October) has pushed the Absorption Rate down to 24 months of inventory.

Norcross, GA is a suburb of Atlanta in Gwinnett County. The population is 2000 was 8,41, 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.
