Market stats for Norcross GA, January, 2011 indicate that there were 382 properties on the market. Overall, there is about a 9.6 month supply of properties. January was a powerhouse… unlike most of the areas in Gwinnett, with 41 sales v just 29 last January.  February continued the trend, although not quite as powerful.  There were 43 sales in Norcross this year v 36 last February.

In the sub-$200k arena, there were 231 listings, with about 7.8 month supply.  Sales are up from a year ago in this segment, which is the main driver of sales in this area (32 v 23).  So, the segment is still looking pretty strong for January and February, despite the weakness of sales in November and December.

Between $200k and $400k, there were 108 listings for sale, and about 17.1 months of supply.  Sales have been down and slowing for the last few months, but lower inventory levels have really made things look better.  If it is all because of a hold on foreclosures from late last year, then we will see bloodshed again, otherwise, we could be seeing a recovery.

From $400k to $600k, there were 37 homes on the market. The absorption rate is around 11.1 months. Much of the perception of strong Absorption Rates is from shrinking inventories.  But, for the record, sales for January were at 3 for both 2011 and 0 for 2010 and February had an increase from 2 to 4 sales for this year.

In the $600k to $800k arena, there were 3 listings on the market.  Inventories have decreased as sales have increased compared to last year.  The absorption rate (12 month average) is at 9 months of inventory… but with only 4 sales last year, obviously it is easy to bump one way or the other. The ONLY reason for the strong looking Absorption Rate is that there are only 3 listings.  Only.

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

Above $1m, there were 3 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 just 9 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.

Market stats for Buford, GA, February, 2011 indicate that there were 600 properties on the market. Overall, there was about an 12.2 month supply of properties.  February was up substantially, 60 v 38 sales in 2009.  January was slightly below last year (25 v 28 for 2009).  There were 83 sales in June and an Absorption Rate under 8.5 months.

In the sub-$200k arena, there were 352 listings, with a 10.6 month supply.  Again, this is the largest price segment in this area, so strength here usually equals weakness across the market area.  Sales were up substantially from last month (41 v 18), but pretty flat compared to last year (16 sales in Feb. 2010).  Much of the county has been slowing slightly over the last month, but this is a strong outpost in that bleak land.

Between $200k and $400k, there were 196 listings for sale, and about  14.7 months of supply.  As with many other local price segments, February was well above January (18 v 6 homes sold).  February of last year (19 sales) had a similar bump… hopefully it holds out for a while this time.

From $400k to $600k, there were 31 homes on the market. The absorption rate is almost 18.6 Months.  This shouldn’t be acting like a high-end luxury segment, but it is.  There have been 5 sales in the last 3 months.  When the market is rolling, there should be 5-7 sales a month during this part of the year.  And despite the lower market segments getting better, this one weakened for February.

In the $600k to $800k arena, there were 2 listings.  Absorption Rate is 6 months (averaging a sale every few 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 2 homes has made things look less slow… but there have been 3 sales in this segment last year… the last was this past November.

The range from $800k to $1m, there were 6 homes listed. And with only 1 sale in the last year (Feb 10) until last December (2 more), obviously  trends are hardly definable.  At least listings are down by more than compared to a few months ago (9 listings in June).

Above $1m, there were 13 properties listed.  The last sale in the segment was in April… of 2009… still…

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).

Sugar Hill, GA, Market Report, February 2011

Market stats for Sugar Hill, GA , February, 2011 indicate that there are 231 properties on the market. Overall, there is about an 12.6 month supply of properties.  Sales have been fairly steady since July (aside from a bump in December), but inventories were rising, and along with it, the number of months of inventory (that is the wrong way…).  January had an odd drop in inventory this year.  Even more odd is a slight drop for February.

For Sugar Hill homes priced under $200k, there are 170 listings, with under 10 months supply.  There were 14 sales this February and 14 last year for the same time.  And December had a nice bump in sales, at 25 homes (just 8 in 2009).  That really cranks the 3 month numbers to look better than they really may be.

Sugar Hill Listings between $200k and $400k, there are 52 listings for sale, and about 22.3 months of supply.  As recently as May, there was only a 6.75 month supply.  This segment really took a beating.  It had a slight bump in November, but drove off a cliff in December.  There were only 3 sales v 11 the prior year.  January pulled out 3 more sales, which isn’t terrible compared to 5 last year.  February only had 1 sales 3 in Feb 2010, but the decrease in listings was why this segment looks stronger.  That decrease has started to slow and the weakness shows.

For listings in the $400k to $600k range, there are 5 homes on the market. The absorption rate is around 30 months, but with 1 sale 6 months ago, it is tough to calculate accurately.  Obviously, a sale or two could make a BIG difference.  There have only been 3 sales in this segment last year.  In 2009, there were almost twice as many sales in this price range.

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 4 homes listed for sale in that price range.  No sales have been recorded in the last 18 months or so.

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.

Market stats for Suwanee, GA, February, 2011 indicate that there are 604 properties on the market. Overall, there is about an 13.5 month supply of properties.  There was less that 8 months of inventory as recently as June.  Even though inventories are down since then, sales are also down.  January was a big move in the wrong direction for the overall Suwanee Market area, but things stayed about the same for February.

In the Under $200k arena, there are 176 listings in Suwanee, GA, with about a 10.6 month supply.  In June, there was a 4.8 month supply.  Inventories have increased, until September, as sales have slowed…   There were 22 sales, compared to only 16 a year earlier.  February definitely was looking better than January.

Between $200k and $400k, there are 284 listings for sale, and 12.7 months of supply.  Sales for February 2011 were 26, compared with 25 for the same period in 2010.  Still weak, but with the decrease in listings, leading to an improvement in the Absorption Rate.  Listings are up slightly for February…

From $400k to $600k, there are 80 homes on the market. The absorption rate is at 24 months.  There were 4 sales this year (Feb)… down from 6 last year.  Even looking at the three month average, there were 10 sales this year and 17 for the same period last year.

In the $600k to $800k arena, there are 24 listings, with about a 18 month supply.  Sales at this level are not consistent.  Looking at one month makes the numbers jump.  For the last three months, sales were 4…  For the sale time last year, the sales were 3.  The segments strengthened, but we can’t call a trend yet… but close.

The range from $800k to $1m, there are 13 homes listed and 3+ years 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).  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 40 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 (2 sales in Dec-Feb this year and 2 last year).  But, in this segment, we should be seeing reduced inventories…  There were 40 homes listed in this segment at this time last year.

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.

Duluth, GA, Market Report, February 2011

Preliminary stats for Duluth, February, 2011 indicated that there were 574 properties on the market. Overall, there is about an 11 month supply of properties.  Months of Inventory has been increasing for the last couple of months, until last month.  Sales in February were 51, compared to 45 a year earlier.  Usually in February we see an uptick in inventory, which continues through the spring.  Inventory actually dropped this time.  If inventory stays flat or doesn’t move as high as previous trends, this could bode well for properties on the market.

In the Under $200k arena, there were 235 listings in Duluth, GA, with about a 8.7 month supply.  The Absorption Rate had gotten down into the high 4 month realm… and as recent as December, 2009, was in the low 5s.  In May, it was at 7.9 months and has been rising since, until last month.  Sales for February were up this year v last year (27 v 19), and up from January (23).

Between $200k and $400k, there are 148 listings for sale, and about 12 months of supply.  Sales decreased from 11 in 2010 to 7 in 2011.  With sales down for November, up for December and down for January and February, there is no clear trend.  Absorption rates have similarly risen, dropped and then risen again.

From $400k to $600k, there were 57 homes on the market. The absorption rate was around 10.1 months.  This was one of the strongest segments in Gwinnett County.  Of course, this is on the heels of a weak December and reasonably strong January.  Sales were flat this year v last year (4).

In the $600k to $800k arena, there were 50 listings, with about 13.6 months of supply.  Sales were 3 for February… 4 for this month last year.  Month to month sales were down slightly (4 v 3).  If listings stay relatively low, this segment could show a great improvement.

In Duluth, GA, from $800k to $1m, there were 30 homes listed and approximately 11.3 months of inventory on the market.  Falling inventories and increased sales are fueling the increasingly favorable Absorption Rate (it was 67.5 months in February).  There were 5 sales in the previous three months.  Last year, there were 4 sales in the same period.  And then there were 5 sales in February.  Over the summer, the Absorption Rate for this segment dropped as low as 14.3 months of inventory.

Above $1m, there were 54 properties listed. The current absorption rate indicated about 54 months of inventory.  A couple of sales at this level could have a large impact on the Absorption Rates…  There were 3 sales in the Dec – Feb period this year, and 5 sales for the same time last year… but inventories are lower.

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 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.
