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:

11th Circuit Rejects Request for Rehearing
Written by Lake Lanier Association11TH 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.
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

Oh that lake, her kindred call
Doth beckon me, I want her all
What view or vantage point was not
A gift by God in heaven wrought
The trees adorned with moss and vines
The silhouettes, the curves, the lines
The paths, the trails, which led to shore
Left gratitude and want of more
A taste of lust upon the air
The docks, the boats, the water’s glare
My bosom yearns to thus return
To Lake Lanier, where passions churn
Where sing the birds and buzz the bees
Return me now, I beg, oh please
For there is where I long to be
Lanier, the lake, the lake for me.
Lake Lanier Average Home Sales Price Remains Flat
Written by The North GroupA quick look at home sales on Lake Lanier doesn’t show a great recovery but does reflect that Lake Home sales have stabilized. Comparing second quarter year-over-year (YoY) in the chart below, the only real good news is that prices are not continuing to decline:
Lake Lanier has been dropping steadily the past few months due to a severe drought that is affecting much of the state. The extreme heat is evaporating the water in Lake Lanier faster than water is replenishing the lake. Currently, the Lake Lanier water level is at 1066.84 which is 4.16 feet below summer full pool. Rain and cooler days are needed to help pull Lake Lanier from the drought it is currently facing, hopefully relief will come sooner than later.
Comparing homes sold in Forsyth County for June Year-on-Year there are still some challenges but much improvement to celebrate.

And the high-end foreclosure listings are the properties to go the fastest.
Foreclosures have been the bane of every home seller for the past couple of years and it’s no surprise that it will continue to be the case moving forward for some time. However, with the rate at which foreclosures are disappearing and the fact that delinquent loans are declining, are the days of foreclosures numbered?
