Market stats for Lilburn, September, 2010, indicates that there are 443 properties on the market (as of September 30th). Overall, there is about a 9.8 month supply of properties.  Lilburn is actually mid-pack among cities in Gwinnett County.  Absorption Rates had been improving since March, until September.  In fact, in March there was 15.3 months of inventory.

In the sub-$200k arena, there are 273 listings, with about an 7.7 month supply.  This represents most of the sales in the market area, and reflects the same improvement in inventory levels, continuously since March.  And, one other thing to keep in mind is that sales were strong compared to September 2009 (32 v 25).

Between $200k and $400k, there are 146 listings for sale, and about 19 months of supply. This segment has also been getting stronger each month since March, until this month.  There were only 2 sales in September 2010, compared to 11 last year.

From $400k to $600k, there are 20 homes on the market. The absorption rate is around 15 months. There was one more sale in September 2010 (1) v September 2009 (0) as this year, but there were no sales in this segment in May, June or July this year.  Last summer was much stronger overall.  With just a few sales, just one or two can make a huge difference.

Above $600k, there are 4 listings, but too few sales to have any sort of reliable number of months of inventory.  There has been one sale in the last three months, but prior, there had only been a few other sales in 2010 (January, March and August).  One of the listings is above $800k, and there is no market activity in the last 12 months for that range…

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.

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.

Flashback Friday… Rumble, Rumble…

A Kawasaki ZX-7RR sport bike

Last year I was in the midst of writing about some of the local businesses I try to frequent.  One of those was Millennium Cycle Works.  I dropped in one day (without my 4′ co-pilot) and talked for a minute with Ken, the owner.  After a moment to gather his thoughts, I shot a video of him talking about his business.  He is a great guy with a cool cycle dealership.

My wife still won’t let me talk her into me getting a bike… but I still have managed to get up there for a few things here and there.  My 6 year old has some gloves made for riding a dirt bike.  They are very similar to Mechanic’s Gloves… which are REALLY hard to find in sizes that small.

Here is a link to the original post and video.

Thinking of Scouting?

Cub Scouting

School is almost ready to start here in Gwinnett County.  It is only a couple of weeks away… and that means that school activities will be starting, too.

Since one of mine is going into 1st Grade, he is old enough to start in Cub Scouts.  He can be a Tiger Cub.  And while the ‘Roundup’ is still a few weeks away, we actually found a Pack and started getting involved a few weeks ago.  In fact, my wife and I volunteered to be Den Leaders.

The Pack that we found is part of the Sweetwater District of the NE Ga Council.  And the Sweetwater District just rolled out a new tool on their website to help parents find a Pack, Troop, Crew, Team or Post for their Scout.  Basically, if you are in the Sweetwater District, which covers Walton County and much of Southern Gwinnett County (east of I-85), you can use this tool to find the units that are closest.

Cub Scouts are arranged in Packs.  Boy Scouts are in Troops.  There are also Venturing Crews, Varsity Teams and Explorer Posts.

Scouting is a great outlet for boys and girls.  It teaches responsibility, manners and confidence.

My son is looking forward to getting more involved in Scouting.  We have been to a couple of events with the Pack, but no Den based activities yet (they generally are inactive during the summer, but the Packs often have several activities and there are also camp opportunities).

I think we are going to have a great year!
