Duluth, GA, Market Report, January 2013

This map shows the incorporated and unincorpor...

Image via Wikipedia

Market stats for Duluth, January, 2013 indicated that there were 272 properties on the market, down 4 from last month. Overall, there was about a 5.0 month supply of properties. Sales in January were 45, up from 30 a year earlier. Sales were down compared to the prior month (58). Duluth had been slightly leading Gwinnett County as a whole, but not so much over the last few months.

In the Under $200k arena, there were 82 listings in Duluth, GA, with about a 3.0 month supply. The Absorption Rate for last January, was 7.1. Sales were well up this year v last year (20 v 13), but down compared to last month (28). The Absorption Rate (A/R) is quite a bit better than most of the county…

Between $200k and $400k, there are 82 listings for sale, and about 5.0 months of supply. Absorption rates have similarly risen, dropped and then risen again. Sales were up compared to January, 2012 (16 v 10) but down compared to last month (17). Duluth is a market that favors luxury, but this segment is not doing as well as I would have expected… but it might be constrained somewhat due to low inventories. It is still a slight Seller’s Market.

From $400k to $600k, there were 31 homes on the market. The Absorption Rate was around 4.9 months. January brought in 4 sales. There were 4 last year and 9 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. Usually we see the A/R soften as we move up in price, but that isn’t happening here. We are slightly to the Seller’s Market side.

In the $600k to $800k arena, there were 27 listings, with about 11.6 months of supply. Sales were 3 for January… 3 for last year. And month to month sales were up (3 v 2). 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. But not the last few months…

In Duluth, GA, from $800k to $1m, there were 14 homes listed and approximately 42 months of inventory on the market. The 1 sale for January was better than the 0 last year, and the 0 last month. Sales haven’t been moving much for the last couple of months, but 1 sale for the last 3 months was the same as the same 3 months from last year (1 sale). And a year ago the A/R was 69 months.

Above $1m, there were 36 properties listed. The current absorption rate indicated about 27 months of inventory. A couple of sales at this level could have a large impact on the Absorption Rates. There were 4 sales in the Nov-Jan period this year, and 2 for the same time last year. We should be posting four sales a month here regularly… and we fell short last month but barely had a start with it this month with 1 sale. There were 0 sales last year there were 2 for December.

 

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.

Lawrenceville, GA Market Report, January 2013

This map shows the incorporated and unincorpor...

Image via Wikipedia

Market stats for Lawrenceville, GA, January, 2013, indicate that there were 683 properties on the market, down 7 from last month. Overall, there was about a 3.5 month supply of properties. In 2012, sales for January were at 213, so 166 sales was a big decrease, year over year. Last month’s sales were at 215. Coupled with the decrease in inventory, things are still looking pretty good. Normally the market picks up from January-Feruary through about June-August. This month we are OK, but some are arguing that constrained inventories are still holding back sales or we could be looking even better.

For Lawrenceville, GA, Homes Under $200k, there are 543 listings, with about a 3.1 month supply of homes. Sales were down from January, 2012 (154 v 205), although sales may very well be off because of constrained inventories. Last year in this segment, there were almost 1000 listings v under 600 now. This segment is easily the lion’s share of sales for the area. With the 3.04 month A/R, it is solidly in Seller’s Market territory. The low Absorption Rate (AR) is due to very strong sales, coupled with dramatically lower listing inventories. Month over month sales were down from 191 in December.

Between $200k and $400k, there are 123 listings for sale, and about 7.5 months of supply. Oddly, this had one of the mid-pack segments in the county, now it’s on the weak side. The 11 sales for January, 2013 edged the 7 from last year, but was very weak compared to the 21 sales last month. But, we had been close in Buyer’s Market territory here, but have slipped back to Seller’s Market territory.

From $400k to $600k, there are 11 homes on the market. The absorption rate is around 6.6 months. However, with the level of sales in this segment, a couple of sales added or subtracted can have a HUGE impact. There was 1 sale for January, the Absorption Rate has dropped from 78 months June11, through good, but sporadic sales. This is acting like a luxury market and the A/R is jumping all over the place… with just a few sales (A/R was 34 nine months ago). While the long term trend was looking a little better, now it is still pretty choppy.

In the $600k to $800k arena, there are 4 listings, with about 12 months of supply. As with the next lower priced segment, a couple of sales makes a big difference and there were 0 sales in January. There were only 6 sales at this level in all of 2011, 2 of them were January. There was 1 sale in January 2012, 1 in May, 1 in October and 1 in December.

Between $800k and $1M, and Above $1M there are 2 homes listed (combined) and not enough sales data to give an accurate absorption rate. Until this month, there had only been one sale in this range in the last 3 years (Aug, 2010), according to FMLS. But, there was 1 sale in July, but none in August. It was over $1M, if that makes a difference…

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.

Buford, GA, Market Report, January 2013

This map shows the incorporated and unincorpor...Market stats for Buford, GA, January, 2013 indicate that there were 285 properties on the market, an increase of 11 from last month. Overall, there was about an 4.4 month supply of properties (Absorption Rate or A/R). There were 58 sales for January, down from 67 last month but up from the 52 sales last Jan12. It isn’t the strongest market in Gwinnett, but the A/R is nothing to sneeze at. It is still solidly in Seller’s Market territory.

In the sub-$200k arena, there were 131 listings, with a 3.2 month supply. This is the largest price segment in this market area, so strength here usually equals strength across the whole local market area. Sales were down from last month 32 (v 41 last month), and well down compared to last year (42 sales in Jan12). But, the A/R is WAY under the 6 months that would be considered fairly balanced… pointing towards a solid seller’s market. This time of year I’m not terribly concerned about a little weakening.

Between $200k and $400k, there were 113 listings for sale, and about 5.5 months of supply. The 21 sales recorded were down from the 25 last month but way up from the 8 sales last year for January. This had been one of the weaker segments in the county, but had improved dramatically until last month it was fairly balanced, though tilted towards buyers… now it is slightly further into Seller’s Market territory.

From $400k to $600k, there were 27 homes on the market. The absorption rate is 13.5 Months. There have been 6 sales in the last 3 months (0 for November, 1 for December and 5 for January). When the market is rolling, there should be 3-5 sales a month during this part of the year. Just for comparison, there were 8 sales in the Nov-Jan period in 2011-12. This segment has been bouncing all over the place… but it is reasonable right now.

In the $600k to $800k arena, there were 5 listings. Absorption Rate is (again) 36+ months… but it jumps around a lot. Sales in this range are pretty sporadic, but steady when looking at the long-term. The drop in inventory over the last few months from 14 homes to 5 has made things look less slow… but there were 7 sales in this segment last year including 3 sales in March, 1 in June and 0 in January.

The range from $800k to $1m, there were 2 homes listed. Trends are hardly definable. Listings are down. June recorded the first sales since December, 2010. There were 0 sales in January. But it still has a 12.0 month Absorption Rate.

Above $1m, there were 7 properties listed. There was sale in the segment in April… of 2009…and then May, 2011… and 2 sales in June, 2011… also 1 in July and September. There was 1 sale in October, but 0 sales in January. So, we have 21 months of inventory. I hope, but am not expecting, sales to be more consistent.

Buford, GA is a suburb of Atlanta in Gwinnett and Hall Counties. The population is 2000 was 10,668, but that only included the area inside the city limits, and it had seen tremendous growth since that census. Buford is home to Lake Lanier, one of Georgia’s premiere recreational areas, and Lake Lanier Islands. Recently, the City of Buford has revamped their old town. It is also home to Buford (Buford City Schools aren’t a part of Gwinnett County Schools), Mill Creek, Mountain View and Lanier High School (Lanier will open for the 2010-11 school year).

Real Estate is Back… Here, too…

I have been saying it for a few months now… and it has been pretty apparent in the Gwinnett County area.  Real Estate is back.  This nifty infographic from Active Rain, where I am an Ambassador (I help other agents more effectively blog and such…) shows that agents across the country are really starting to feel confident that real estate is again strong.

As mentioned here during the depths of the down-turn, we wouldn’t really know that the market had turned until it was done.  And just because I, and a few thousand of my real estate peers feel like real estate has returned to normal doesn’t mean that it can’t be derailed.  But, for now…

Sugar Hill, GA, Market Report, January 2013

This map shows the incorporated and unincorpor...

Image via Wikipedia

Market stats for Sugar Hill, GA , January, 2013 indicates that there were 105 homes on the market. Flat from last month. Overall, there is about an 4.3 month supply (3.4 last month). There were 16 sales, compared to 29 last month and 20 last January. Of course, then there were 159 listings on the market.

For Sugar Hill homes priced under $200k, there were 60 listings, with about 3.4 months supply. There were 13 sales this January, below last year for the same time (18). There were 18 sales last month. Inventories have been fluid, rising and falling. This time of year we often see a slight decrease in listings… but we are already very low. In fact, sales may be stifled by lack of inventory. Christmas slowed things down, as usual.

Sugar Hill Listings between $200k and $400k, there are 41 listings for sale, and about 7.2 months of supply. Last January there was a 10.1 month supply. There were 2 sales then, this year there were also 2. Last month had 10 sales. That makes three of the last five months look reasonably strong. We are in a slight Seller’s Market here again when the Holiday slowdown is over.

For listings in the $400k to $600k range, there were 4 homes on the market. The absorption rate was around 4.0 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 Spring 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 0 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.
