Gwinnett County Real Estate Adventures: Georgia: Dacula

Hebron Baptist Church has Annual Movie Night Under the Stars.

It's a summer tradition all over Atlanta for movies under the stars. People gather with lawn chairs and blankets and watch a movie, usually an animated or children's movie, outdoors. It's kind of like going to a drive-in without the car!! Last night we attended Dacula's Hebron Baptist Church annual movie night on the lawn. The movie was "The Tale of Despereax", a movie about a mouse with big ears and no fear and a very inspiring story and message.

When Hebron Baptist has an event, it's usually done all out and last night was no exception. There were food vendors selling pizza and sodas (very cheap I might add) and free popcorn and snow cones for the kids. The church orchestra was playing in the parking lot as the pre-movie entertainment and everyone was enjoying the fellowship.

Then about 9pm the movie starts on a HUGE 25' inflatable screen. I was amazed at how good the sound and video was considering it was an outdoor event. My wife, daughter and two of her friends and I sat on a blanket and had popcorn and sodas and really enjoyed ourselves. Of course the kids wanted to run around more than watch the movie but that was okay because we were all together with a couple thousand of our friends!!

Living in Dacula Ga for the last 9 years I never knew how many people came out for the annual Dacula Memorial Day Parade until today. It was so impressive to see so many people come out in support of our troops and celebrate our freedom. I'm almost ashamed that I never went to the parade until this year. Driving through Dacula it was amazing to see all the people.....kids and parents and grandparents. It's billed as the largest Memorial Day parade in the southeast. The weather was kinda soupy but the rain held off except for a few sprinkles. The parade started in the Hebron Baptist Church parking lot and ran all the way down Dacula Rd into the downtown area. There were several veterans in the parade including WWII and Vietnam Vets. Lots of old cars and tractors and a marching band and they were all throwing candy, which my daughter thought was the coolest thing since Halloween is a few months away. This was her first parade and it made a big impression......mostly because of the candy! She hasn't eaten any of it yet but mommy and daddy have!!

Here are some sights from the day's festivities...

Gwinnett County Georgiais a very large county with many cities and many zip codes. So starting this week I'm going to feature a different zip code each day with market stats and info related to the real estate market in that zip code. Real estate is very localized and what's happening in some areas might not be happening in others so if you're considering relocating to the Gwinnett County area or maybe you already live in Gwinnett and just want to move to the other side, you can come here to get local sales info to help you stay informed.

This information is helpful for buyers and sellers. Currently we are in a buyer's market with a surplus of inventory. If you're a seller in this market, you need to be patient and also flexible. Price is the number one component of selling a home right now and the homes that are priced right are selling. If you're a buyer the ball is in your court. There has never been a better time to buy with the lowest rates in 50 years and deals everywhere. Don't miss the boat!!

Since I live in the Dacula Ga zip code 30019, we'll look at some analysis of that area. The town itself is relatively small with approximately 4600 people living within the city limits. Most of the area residents live in the unincorporated areas with a Dacula address. Communities like Hamilton Mill and Harbins are located in this 30019 zip code.
