Head coach Holly Isserstedt tells us about a great community of competition, friends and summer fun.
The Hamilton Mill Hammerheads are not just a swim team, they are a group of over 200 young swimmers who gather together with friends for a little competition and to experience an amazing community atmosphere that fully supports their children in a good old fashion fun summer sport. “Our youngest swimmers are four years old and our oldest swimmers are 18, so we have a wide range of kids in our community that are swimming,” head coach Holly Isserstedt said. “We are a group with lots of siblings, friends and neighbors.” Summer league is very different from swimming for a yearlong organization or even at the middle school or high school level because it is mostly for fun. “It is meant to be a social experience and a way for them to have …

Are we in a short term seller's market?
Over the last few weeks, the talk around the real estate community centers around the fact that inventory seems to be very tight. It seems there is an abundance of buyers, but not enough good properties to satisfy them. Is this a short term seasonal thing, or is this the beginning of the market starting to show a little life? Either way, if you are considering selling your house, now is probably the best opportunity there has been over the last five years. In fact, inventory across Gwinnett County is at an 11-year low. Currently, there are half as many homes on the market as there were in June of last year. In Dacula, there are currently only 298 homes for sale, while Hamilton Mill is also at an all time low with only 49 active listings. …

Learn the diefinition of a short sale.
I continue to meet both buyers and sellers that ask me the question, “What exactly is a short sale?” Over the last 14 months that I have contributed to Dacula Patch, I have written a variety of article on short sales. Seeing that short sales are probably going to continue to be a major factor in the market, it can’t hurt to discuss it again. So, “What is a short sale?” By definition, a short sale is when s seller of a house is selling it for less than what they owe the bank. For example, Mr. and Mrs. Smith buy a home in 2005 for $300,000. When they bought they put 5 percent down for a mortgage of $285,000. Since then, the payoff amount has gone down as the Smiths make payments and as of 2012 the amount they owe on the loan is $275,000. Now…
