Families and Retirees Flocking to Buy in Forsyth County

St Michaels Bay logoAtlanta Agent Magazine published an article on “Forsyth Rising: Families, Retirees Flocking to Buy” homes because it has a highly regarded public school system, low taxes and a geographically sound location just off of GA 400 and near Lake Lanier.  Forsyth County and Cumming are drawing homebuyers of all ages!  North Forsyth has new home construction with single-family detached affordable housing options.  Consumers can find smaller square footage, slab foundations, smaller lots, higher density and amenities , but achievable price points for all buyers.   Two-story, single-family detached homes typically have four or five bedrooms and 3.5 or 4.5 baths, and range from the high-$300s to mid-$400s without basements.  The mid-$500s to $700k has new homes with unfinished basements.  Home sales in Forsyth County are steadily climbing and not slowing down.  It is the second-fastest growing county in Georgia and the seventh-fastest growing county nationwide.  Forsyth’s home appreciation has increased by 16.2 percent, year over year. And soon, the county will contain a “city within a city.”

Peachtree Residential has two final homes almost ready in Westbrook in Cumming and also builds in St. Michael’s Bay on Lake Lanier.  A new phase just opened at the St. Michael’s Bay community.  It has luxury new homes that are move-in ready as well as under construction. Visit www.PeachtreeResidential.com for more information on new homes in Cumming or any of the other great locations!
