This is what I feared… Gwinnett Market Report – July, 2010

I have been kind of expecting this, but of course it will take a couple of months to confirm…

The Tax Credit did not kick the Gwinnett Market into gear…

Instead, its expiration killed sales.  Looking over the last few months of sales we see that for 2010, sales were (compared to 2009):

  • January – down 10.9%
  • February – up 1.7%
  • March – up 10.1%
  • April – up 14.1%
  • May – up 17.3%
  • June – down 0.8%
  • July – down 26.2%

As we look over these numbers, there are a few things to keep in mind…  To start with, the July numbers will likely get a little better.  Although sales are supposed to be reported within 48 hours of closing, there are always stragglers that take a few weeks to make it into the reports.  Contracts had to be written by April 30th, and sales here usually only take 30-45 days to close.  That would be why sales were up in May, but not in June… those sales were likely closed.  I didn’t see a lot of buyers playing chicken with the contract dates.

All isn’t doom and gloom…  Inventories are down a bit from last year.  This is helping to keep the absorption rates at a reasonable level.  But they are still decelerating.

Look for specific reports over the next couple of weeks for Lilburn, Lawrenceville, Duluth, Suwanee, Sugar Hill, Buford and Norcross.

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.

Sugar Hill, GA, Market Report – April, 2010

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.
