March Gwinnett Market Report
Posted By Lane Bailey on March 9th, 2009
It’s that time again… time to look back at the sales numbers for January and February in Gwinnett County real estate.
We live in interesting times. Take a look at the slide show.
I think that the best news right now is the decrease in listings. The number of new listings is down 31% from February of 2008. And the number of listings on the market is down 16% from February of last year as well.
March through May will be very telling in regards to the near term future of the atlanta area and Gwinnett County real estate markets. If the provisions of the stimulus package get buyers into the mood, we could see a recovery. If not… then it will be late in the year if not next year.
Junior Achievement at Parkview High School in Gwinnett
Posted By Lane Bailey on March 3rd, 2009
I have just started volunteering for Junior Achievement. I wanted to help out in Parkview High School or Trickum Middle School, but they don’t have partnerships with any of the teachers there. Instead, I’ll be volunteering at Norcross High School for the time being.
Junior Achievement is a great program, and it would benefit the students to have access to this type of curriculum.
If you are a teacher at Parkview High School or Trickum Middle School in Gwinnett County, or an Administrator, feel free to shoot me a message and I’ll be HAPPY to put you in touch with the right folks at JA. They would LOVE to be involved here in Lilburn.
