On the demand side of the equation, during this time period there were 4,412 total sales in Gwinnett County. It is important to note the difference in seller types that make up this data component. 1,607 sales were REO Sales (bank/government owned sales) while 2,805 sales were Market Sales, or qualified transactions where the seller was not a bank of government entity. This means that in Gwinnett County that less than 37 percent of all sales were bank or government owned sales. Compare this with October a year ago through January 2012 where more than half (56 percent) of all sales were bank/government owned.

Much of this has to do with decreased inventory levels. According to Georgia MLS, Dacula inventory over the past 6 months has dropped to 3.9 months. This is within a range to be considered a "Seller's Market."
