Huge Changes May Be Coming From Washington – Again
Related Posts: Real Estate
hi Like
My friend Tom Royce wrote a great post today about some of the talk around DC these days. Huge changes may be coming in the way real estate works in the US. This is not just a Hamilton Mill issue or Gwinnett County issue (of course). These days federal policy on housing is something we’ve got to keep a very close eye on. I thought this was important enough to highlight it here and give you a link back to read the entire text.
Federal Government Overhauling Housing Policy? What Does That Mean For You?
With the rise of the powerful federal government, policy decisions coming out of Washington DC are having more and more influence over our economic decisions. When it affects the auto industry or the banking industry, these decisions may affect those of us involved in real estate, but it will not change our lives.

Interior Decor is a HUGE factor in Gwinnett Home Sales
Related Posts: Real Estate
hi LikeIf you’re selling your Gwinnett home this spring, it’s a great idea to get a professional opinion about decorating choices, furniture placement and even lighting options to make sure that you’re highlighting the best features (and minimizing others). We’ve been working with MJN Interiors for some time now & so I thought I’d post their information here as an easy resource. Ask for Michelle (and tell her I sent ya!)
Here’s a great testimonial from their website…
Hit the mark perfectly
We met Michelle during the redecorating of our family room (another “Must Do” project) with the expertise of a fabulous faux painter, an artist really, named Kass. Kass not only recommended Michelle she practically insisted on her and it was truly the best piece of advice we received.
We were so delighted with our family room transformation that in less than a year we decided to tackle our bedroom … with Michelle’s help, of course! We hired out part of the painting, did some ourselves but left the “heavy lifting” (i.e., window treatment design, accent furniture selection, etc.) to Michelle. I simply told Michelle how I wanted our bedroom to “feel” and once again Michelle hit the mark perfectly. My reaction was tears of joy and awe at the transformation and my husband said our furniture never looked more beautiful!Michelle is a true treasure – she’s fantastic at her craft, talented, a great listener and one of the nicest people we know. We are so very happy that we were introduced to Michelle and look forward to our next project with MJN Interiors! We wish her all the very best!

Bring Your Notepad to the Gwinnett Town Hall, Feb 17th at Hamilton Mill Golf Club
Related Posts: Area Information, Real Estate
hi Like
For the last several years, I’ve been producing a year end report about the real estate market in Hamilton Mill. I started this in 2005 while I was an agent at Keller Williams Realty. Since Diamond Dwellings opened it’s doors in late 2006, we’ve worked as a team to analyze the larger Gwinnett County real estate market and provide great information to our friends and neighbors who own property here.
I also worked together with my business partner, Matt Hermes to plan the annual Real Estate Town Hall meetings so we’d all have a place to get together, talk through the numbers and try to make sense of the current market “situation”.
This Year’s 1st Gwinnett Town Hall is on February 17, 2009 at Hamilton Mill Golf Club.
Hope you can join us for a powerful discussion – not only about local real estate – but also about the larger economic environment that surrounds & of course deeply effects the real estate market.
We’ll start our evening at 6pm with light appetizers, soft drinks & a cash bar.
At approximately 645pm, the real estate presentation will begin. You can expect to receive great information about the 2008 real estate sales results as well as our 2009 outlook & analysis.
We’ve also invited an amazing group of local market experts & leaders to share in our “town hall” format. I can’t wait to hear what they have to say about today’s market!
We’re working hard to bring you the very latest information. Bring your notepad!
If you plan to come, please let us know by signing up here (it’s free!)
See you there!

Love to See Hamilton Mill Homes Under Contract!
Related Posts: Real Estate
hi Like
Wow, Love to see that sign rider that says “Under Contract”! We posted this home as under contract this week in the Windridge section of Hamilton Mill. I worked together with Chris Giles & Matt Hermes (among other team members) on this sale.
We’re not seeing very many under contract signs these days. In fact, just 5 Hamilton Mill Homes sold in June. Of course, those are disappointing numbers, but some homes are selling. The way to get your home sold is through extensive internet marketing to find that “needle in a haystack” buyer.
At Diamond Dwellings, we’ve made it our business to learn the very latest details in the complex world of online marketing. Our results show the difference. Diamond Dwellings is consistently closing business at a rate that is far above all other brands in Hamilton Mill.
The odds of selling your house are in your favor, when you put Diamond Dwellings on your side.

Hamilton Mill June Stats. Sales / Pending Sales / Active Listings
Related Posts: For Sale By Owner, Homeowners Assoc, Real Estate, Real Estate - Investment, Real Estate - Listings, Real Estate Data, Real Estate Deals
hi LikeThe Atlanta FMLS listing system (some data may also be from Georgia MLS) reports this data for Hamilton Mill as of July 2, 2008. These are the current active and sales data for the month of June 2008.
Recap: June actually turned out to be a pretty decent month for sales and pending sales after a slow first 5 months of 2008. We are starting to see a improvement in showing activity as well as the number of homes under contract and closed transactions. Sellers are starting to see the fact that pricing your home aggressively can and will drive traffic. We are still in a VERY competitive market and pricing, incentives and flexibility are key factors in getting homes sold.
Current Homes listed for sale in Hamilton Mill: 128
Highest Price Home: $1,250,000 / 2048 Bakers Mill Road (New Construction)
Lowest Price Home: $219,900 / 1490 Ridgemill Circle
Average List Price: $411,067
June 2008 Hamilton Mill Real Estate Sales: 5 (same as May 2008)
Diamond Dwellings Realty Participated in 30% of these closed sales. Market leader in this area again for the THIRD month in a row.
Highest Price Home: Sale Price: $460,000 / 2601 Floral Valley (Short Sale)
Lowest Price Home: Sale Price: $379,900 / 3398 Ridgemill Circle
Current Pending Hamilton Mill Real Estate Sales: 13
While the June sales are not what we’d hoped for in Hamilton Mill — Or all of Gwinnett County, the activity level has picked up as compared to Q1′08 and we have seen an improvement in the “pending/under contract” homes that are scheduled to sell. If you or someone you know is waiting for the market to level out to find that “deal” now is probably the time to take a hard look at your purchase opportunities. Do not wait and miss the bottom.
If you would like additional listing information on any home in Hamilton Mill email us at mhermes@diamonddwellings.com or call me at 678-279-4717. We will be happy to email a list of available homes for your review.
