Hello June!  
Summer has officially arrived in North Georgia—and that means sunshine on Lake Lanier, patio dinners downtown, and the perfect window to make a move before the school bell rings again. Whether you're diving into real estate goals, community fun, or lakeside relaxation, this month’s newsletter is packed with good stuff!
We’re sharing some can’t-miss local events, introducing a new restaurant you'll want to try ASAP, and spotlighting a lifesaving initiative by the Lake Lanier Association—the life jacket loaner stations helping keep our summer adventures safe.  
So grab your sunnies, your to-do list, and maybe even a life jacket… it’s time to enjoy all that summer in Gainesville has to offer. Be safe, stay cool, and I’ll see you on the lake—and around the square!
Warmest Wishes,
~ Dani ~

The summer market is constantly shifting. While we’re still in a seller’s market, momentum is cooling—and that’s opening up new opportunities on both sides.
Market Trends
New listings and overall inventory are on the rise. At the same time, fewer homes are going under contract, and closed sales have dipped. Homes are taking longer to sell, and more sellers are reducing prices or offering concessions. Despite that, home values are still climbing.
For Buyers
You’ve got more options and more leverage. With longer days on market and increased seller concessions, it’s a great time to negotiate and take your time finding the right fit.
For Sellers
More competition means pricing and presentation matter more than ever. Be prepared to negotiate—and make sure your home stands out from the crowd.
Bottom Line
The market is balancing. Sellers still have an edge, but buyers are gaining power. Whether you're buying, selling, or watching the market, now’s the time to strategize.

Housing Market Predictions for the Rest of 2025
The housing market in the second half of 2025 might have a more favorable outlook than much of 2024 had, especially if mortgage rates improve.
