Lilburn, GA Market Report, April 2011
May 27th, 2011 Categories: For Buyers, For Sellers, Lilburn
Market stats for Lilburn, GA, April, 2011, indicates that there were 440 properties on the market (as of April 30th). Overall, there was about an 10.6 month supply of properties and 44 properties that closed (sold) in April. I had been looking for an increase in sales for March and it came through. And while April was an increase over last year’s sales (36), it was a decrease from March, 2011 (55 sales). Usually, we would be on an upswing until July or August. I’m still hopeful… the Absorption Rate notched down a little.
In the sub-$200k arena, there are 310 listings, with about an 9.6 month supply with 32 sales. This represents most of the sales in the market area. Sales dropped sharply from last month (43), and were only slightly above last year (31). While the Absorption Rate dropped slightly from 9.7 to 9.6 months of inventory, I really wanted to see more movement in this segment.
Between $200k and $400k, there are 115 listings for sale, and about 14.4 months of supply. This segment has been quite weak for months. Having 0 sales in December, and only 6 in November didn’t help. Nine sales in January was HUGE. But, February was back down below last year. March was strong last year, but a little stronger this year (9 v 8 in 2010). April was HUGE… 11 sales compared to just 4 last year. If May stays strong, this could signal a return to a more balanced segment… and Lilburn has been missing that.
From $400k to $600k, there are 11 homes on the market. The absorption rate is 11 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. It doesn’t seem like much, but this is a segment hasn’t posted that many months with back to back sales… Watch May, because there haven’t been sales posted three months in a row since 2009.
From $600k to $800k, $800k to $1M and Above $1M, there are 4 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 (none between $800k and $1M), 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.

Flashback Friday… Absorption Rates, What Are They?
December 4th, 2010 Categories: For Buyers, For Sellers
- Image via Wikipedia
I talk about Absorption Rates all of the time… In fact, in at least 8 posts a month (all of my market report posts) Absorption Rates play a key role. Understanding what they are and why they matter is a key part of understanding my market reports.
Last year I wrote an in-depth post about exactly what Absorption Rates mean. I tried to make it a little more real by talking about how it relates to keeping a stock of frozen Pizza around the house.
The concept isn’t terribly difficult to understand, but can sound complicated… It is one of those things that a lot of people smack themselves in the forehead when they all of a sudden “get it”… and wonder why they didn’t see it all along.
Drop in and take a look… This is a post that I will reference often…

Ade For Al… Enjoy some Lemonade and Help a Family
June 18th, 2010 Categories: For Sellers, Lilburn, Things to do
Many of you might have heard about Al Real. He is 8 years old, and a student at Arcado Elementary School here in Lilburn. On June 7th, while playing with a friend, Al received 3rd degree burns over 80% of his body. He was rushed to Grady’s Burn Unit, and from there sent to the Shriner’s Hospital’s Burn Unit in Cincinnati, OH. That is supposed to be one of the best burn specialists for children in the world. At best, he faces a long and arduous journey back to health… And that journey has begun with skin grafts and surgeries.
As a parent, I can’t begin to understand the pain that Al’s parents are going through. Knowing that there isn’t anything that we can do to make the hurt go away HAS to be difficult. The thought of my child being in that situation scares me to death.
Al’s mom, Angela, was my older child’s Pre-K teacher. She was also his teacher for summer camp a couple of years ago, and I saw her regularly through this school year as my younger child was at the pre-school in which she taught. So, this isn’t about some stranger to me… this is about a friend.
Ade For Al
On Friday, June 18th, the Arcado Elementary PTA will have a Lemonade Stand at the Lilburn Farmer’s Market at Lilburn City Park. The Farmer’s Market runs from 4-8pm. This is to help the family defray some of the costs they are experiencing as they care for Al in Ohio. Al’s father still has to remain in Lilburn most of the time to work, while Angela and their 8 month old are in Ohio with a few other family members.
We’d love for you to come out and enjoy a glass of lemonade while helping out the Reals.

Still working on the details, but there are changes coming.
The end goal is to create more of a hyper-local news site. As we build towards that goal, we are inviting local businesses to post specials and information for Lilburn area residents. The real estate content is going to be ratcheted down as the other content is built up.
There will also be a few surprises coming… Read the rest of this entry »
