In the sub-$200k arena, there are 1028 listings, with about a 7 month supply of homes. Sales accelerated through November, but then fell off as the first tax credit was slated to end... and the Holiday slowdown hit.

I'd love to hear from you...
Living in Lawrenceville has plenty of highlights. There are ample opportunities for shopping, playing and working. Transportation is also plentiful and convenient... although, like everywhere in Metro Atlanta, traffic can be a challenge.
