I was curious how foreclosures sales have compared to ordinary re-sales over the past year in Forsyth County. I’m not sure what possessed me to pull these other numbers, most of which are only interesting but not actionable, but here they are.

There were 2600 homes sold in Forsyth County in 2011. Throw into the mix Short Sales, Estate Owned homes, Corporate Owners, Agent Owners and so on. The only groups I didn’t look at were a few investor owned homes and new construction. Here’s what they look like:

Lake Lanier has been dropping at a rapid rate.  The water level has now dropped below 1060 to 1059.75, despite cooler temperatures. Lake Lanier has not seen rain in a long time. There is a chance of rain tomorrow but is it is a small chance of rain. Lake Lanier needs more than just a shower to make up for all of the lost water. Climatologists have said that this may be a dry winter for Georgia which in turn spells bad news for Lake Lanier. Lake Lanier is already down at 2009 levels with only a few weeks left in the 2011 hurricane season there is little hope left in getting a tropical system to dump large amounts of water in Lake Lanier.  Be careful if you venture out on Lake Lanier, there are many submerged hazards. The Corps of Engineers has done a really good job of marking submerged hazards but there are many that are not marked.  I'll post another update whenever more information is released about the water levels at Lake Lanier.

11TH CIRCUIT REJECTS REQUEST FOR REHEARING

On September 16, the 11th Circuit denied the petition by FL and AL for an en banc rehearing of the decision in Phase 1 of the Water Wars.  FL and AL have reportedly decided to appeal the 11th Circuit’s decision to the U. S. Supreme Court.  The mechanism for doing this is called a petition for a writ of certiorari.  The important thing to know about such petitions is that the Supreme Court receives about 9,000 petitions a year, and grants only about 90 of them, or about 1%.  If your case is one of the lucky 90, you still have to convince the Supreme Court that the Court of Appeals was wrong, which is an uphill battle in itself.

The cabin at the end of the trail, respite for my weary soul
Allow me just a lifetime here and I shall be rendered whole
Warmth of that sweet Georgia air, reflections off the lake
How there is a healing here, of which I must partake
