Norton Intelligence forecasts N. Georgia real estate prospects

By Jessica Knight
GAINESVILLE, Ga. | The Norton Agency recently presented its 38th Native Intelligence Forecast, an annual report providing an in-depth analysis of the Northeast Georgia real estate market and broader economic trends.
Knight
The event featured key insights from Frank Norton, Jr., chairman and chief strategist, and Tommy Howard, CEO of The Norton Agency. They were later joined by Emilie Norton Cisco, vice president of asset management, and Will Cobb, senior vice president and partner for Norton Commercial, who added additional insights on the rental and commercial aspects of the real estate market.
Norton and Howard spoke about the Top Game Changers in the Northeast Georgia real estate market including:
Lake Lanier: The only chart Norton showed was about lakefront home sales on Lanier. Norton has tracked Lanier’s sales over 30 years and has identified a significant milestone: in 2024, as 48 percent of homes sold on Lanier with private docks were over $1 million.
Generating Wealth: Howard discussed the continued concern for the next generation’s opportunities to create wealth through homeownership. Rising costs of goods, homes, rent, and interest rates create a more difficult environment for first time home buyers, and has caused a continued decrease in homeownership (currently 65.6 percent down from the peak of 69.2 percent in April of 2004). He asked the question: “What happens if Americans never start the process of creating wealth through real estate?”
Norton
Building on scraps: “The easy land is gone”, says Norton. Builders and developers are forced to be more creative in their designs and plans, working around steep grades and difficult terrain. “Basements are the unicorns in today’s new house market.”
Where has all the flat land gone? “Well, we flooded it all. It’s under Lake Lanier.”
Multi-Generational living: More homes today are being built with multiple generations in mind. The increased additions of ADUs (“additional dwelling unit” or commonly known as the “in-law suite”) can increase a home’s price up to 35 percent, but allow a better living situation to those finding multi-generational living to be financially advantageous. Expect 100,000 ADU’s to be built in homes in 2025.
Moratoriums: Howard discussed the positives and negatives of moratoriums, a tactic used by many Northeast Georgia communities at one point or another to manage the ever-increasing amount of growth in our region, calling them a “crutch” for “community leadersPhil;p Beard to kick the proverbial can down the road and block newcomers from entering the community.”
Affordability: North Georgia remains a more affordable region than many others; however, the gap between median income ($94,000) and median home prices ($449,000) continues to widen. We are currently sitting at a 4.8 ratio – far exceeding the traditional 2.5x benchmark for affordability that we have known in the past.
Norton ended the presentation with a strong reminder from himself and his team: “There is still so much good and so much opportunity, America is the last BEST place to invest your money.”

Note major changes at both Gwinnett school boards
By Elliott Brack
Editor and Publisher, GwinnettForum
FEB. 4, 2025 | Going back 40 years to the days of the Alton Crews administration, Gwinnettians have always been proud of their innovative schools. The schools since then have been on the cutting edge of a first class educational system, attracting new residents, especially minorities, to come live, play, work and educate their children in a positive atmosphere.
Gwinnett schools have grown into the largest school district in Georgia, and the state’s best district. Not only that, it has on two occasions been named the best school district in the entire nation!
That’s why Gwinnett Countians have been proud of their schools.
Last week a minority of the Gwinnett School Board gave Gwinnett a black eye, as it unceremoniously fired its school superintendent after hiring him four years ago. Essentially, the three minority board members realized that Calvin Watts would not allow these three women to delve into school operations, so they got rid of him. In effect, these three ladies would not follow normal school board guidelines, and provide policy to the school officials.
Hats off to the other two members of the school board, Steven Knudsen and Steve Gaspar, who voted against dismissing Calvin Watts.
The three members who voted to fire the superintendent include Chairman Dr. Adrienne Simmons, Dr. Tarence Johnson-Morgan, and newly-elected Rachel Ruffin Stone.
Now comes the major question: would you, if in education, want to become Gwinnett school superintendent after learning that the board has not worked with its previous superintendent? Experienced and highly-regarded professionals will shy away from the job, meaning that Gwinnett could get a far lesser individual to come to administer this sprawling system. Would you take the job knowing what has just happened?
It’s not that Gwinnett schools have fallen from its high standards. A January 17 update entitled “Strategy, Performance and Accountability” in the system, cited the continued progress of education in Gwinnett. You may read the two-page outline of these achievements here. They are impressive.
So now a search will begin for a new leader for the Gwinnett schools. Meanwhile, parents of Gwinnett children are concerned about the manner in which the majority of the school board has acted. We are stuck with the inept school board leadership for two years, unless a recall might be mounted against the three majority members of the board.
Residents of Buford are mighty proud that there is a second school district in Gwinnett, the Buford City Schools. Two major developments came out of its January meeting.
First, Buford hired from within a new superintendent of schools Dr. Amy Chafin. She replaces another hire-from-within, Dr. Melanie Reed, who is retiring June 1. This was reported in the previous GwinnettForum.
Secondly, against the wishes of the school
Wood
Beard
board chairman, Phillip Beard, the board named its new $62 million, 10,000 seat football stadium after Mr. Beard, who has been on the board since 1975, and chairman since 1979. He has never missed a meeting of the School Board or City Commission.
Minutes from last week’s meeting show: “On a motion by Mr. (Matt) Peevy, seconded by Mr. (Bruce) Fricks, the board unanimously approved the naming of the new Buford City Stadium to “Phillip Beard Stadium” and the naming of the new field to “Dexter Wood Field.” Mr. Beard abstained from the vote.” While the athletic director and football coach at Buford, Wood had a record of winning 118-17 record in ten seasons.
We, and all of Gwinnett congratulate the Buford School Board, and these two men, Phillip Beard and Dexter Wood, for these new honors named for them.

One way the Trump directives are getting personal
Editor, the Forum:
This past week, a Trump directive instructed federal health officials to halt public communications. I feel this was aimed at the Centers for Disease Control and the vital services it provides to our collective good health. Included in this directive are communications from and within the National Institutes of Health.
As of last week, all scientific meetings have been cancelled, including those centered around cancer research. (For more on this subject, see this NPR story.)
This issue now becomes personal. I am a cancer patient. When I was diagnosed 2 1/2 years ago, my doctors had access to the most up-to-date scientific research and diagnostic tools. It was this research and these tools that informed our decisions (mine and my doctors’) on the best treatment for my diagnosed cancer. I knew at that moment how blessed I was to be on the receiving end of top-notch medical practitioners who continually work to improve the outcomes for their patients. They do this, in large part, through collaboration with the bio-medical experts within the field (i.e., National Institutes of Health).
This week I have written to my Congressman and my Senators, and plan on reaching out to more elected officials on this topic. I have urged my elected officials to do everything they could do to reopen these vital communications for scientists, researchers, medical personnel and the general public.
It is hard to fathom that in 2025 our nation would hide and shield medical research and breakthroughs from scientists and the general public alike. I am urging everyone I know to reach out to their elected officials and ask them to help reverse this directive.

Tariffs will hurt our country in two ways
Editor, the Forum:
There is no way the tariffs and moving the migrants out will do anything but raise the retail prices of products from Canada and Mexico. And realize what bird flu’s effect will be on the prices of eggs!
Canada’s Trudeau has promised retaliatory activity and is getting ready to post his own tariffs. I saw an article the other day where egg prices already have hit $7.99 a dozen in places. Tariffs only increase the prices for products, and retaliatory tariffs will cut production in America of manufactured goods, meaning less profits for American companies.

Chimney Rock, N.C., area hit hard by Hurricane Helene
Editor, the Forum:
My wife and I discovered the quaint riverside town of Chimney Rock, N.C. within the gorge by serendipity during a road trip a few years ago, and fell in love with the area. It seemed like a well-kept secret since it wasn’t as popular as Black Mountain.
We managed to return once and had hoped to make regular trips. Unfortunately, Tropical Storm Helene caused catastrophic flooding and debris flows, almost completely destroying the towns and infrastructure within the Gorge last year. It was heartbreaking to see the inn and cottage where we stayed washed away, along with several businesses whose owners we had friendly conversations with. The losses felt personal even though we had only been there twice and have no other connections to the area. We hope to go back once they have made progress rebuilding and start opening businesses back up.
Chimney Rock Park may reopen this summer, once again providing incredible views of the Gorge to the west, and Lake Lure and the Piedmont to the east. It’s a truly beautiful area, especially with the Broad River and Lake Lure, and I recommend it as a quiet weekend getaway in the mountains.
We have not been back since the storm. Last I checked, the town of Chimney Rock was not yet open to visitors, and the main highway through the Gorge is still closed along the length of the Broad River. The road was washed away in many places, often down to bedrock. Lake Lure may be open to visitors or will be soon, but we have not yet made plans.
I am confident they will build back. Some plans I’ve seen indicate intentions to restore the previous river course and rebuild on the banks. This storm showed how powerful natural forces are. Trying to restore the river’s previous course and rebuild on those banks may be a less wise use of resources than leaving the new course alone and rebuilding further from the banks. While the riverside shops were charming, I hope property owners and local governments have more realistic expectations about future flood events. If they expect to rebuild twice a century, and consider it worthwhile, then so be it.

Hates to say it, but “told you so”
Editor, the Forum:
It’s very interesting that the MAGA folks are silent about what Trump is doing to our country. He blames all our woes on DEI, but he never thinks that DEI isn’t the cause of our anxiety. It’s him and his poor choices for his cabinet picks and all the executive orders that he keeps signing, some of which he has had to rescind. I guess their blinders are still on. But I get to say, “Told you so.”

What the Trump tariffs really do
Editor, the Forum:
CNN published an article on Feb. 2, 2025, saying Donald Trump announced new tariffs on Mexico, Canada, and China. Their headline and the article fell into the trap of repeating the Trump mischaracterization that foreign countries pay the U.S. tariffs. The USA has no power to impose tariffs on other countries. These new tariffs apply to U.S. businesses that import specified goods from these three countries. Therefore, U.S. parties pay the tariffs and usually pass along their cost to their customers.
Maybe a U.S. importer or a foreign exporter will reduce the price of these goods to offset some of the tariff cost. Neither party will offset the tariff cost completely, as doing so would reduce or eliminate their profit margin. So, prices to U.S. consumers will increase, resulting in more inflation.
Americans should keep in mind that tariffs, which supposedly harm foreign countries, actually harm people in America.

The Devil is Fine, by John Vercher
From Karen J. Harris, Stone Mountain: The main character of this novel is a writer who is grappling with the untimely death of his teenage son. In the midst of this tragedy, he receives a letter from a lawyer telling him that his deceased son inherited a plantation from the white relatives of his family. The plantation inheritance now goes to him as his father. He travels to the location of the plantation, which is near a beach town, with the goal of seeing the land and then selling the land as soon as possible. However, once he arrives and learns what is buried on the land, he must decide what he really wants to do. Making a decision will involve delving into his own bi-racial pain, his truncated relationships with parents, and the disintegration of his relationship with his son’s mother. The author is brilliant at creating the spiritual dimension of the character’s difficult journey.

Martha Gilbert Holmes
Martha Gilbert Holmes, a mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend, passed away peacefully on January 12, 2025, at the age of 78 in Dallas, Texas. Born on October 25, 1946, in Duluth, Martha was a daughter of John and Ophelia Gilbert.
Martha and Ollie Holmes
Martha was predeceased by her husband, Offie Holmes, and her sons, Gil and Travis. Following the passing of her son Travis, Martha relocated to Dallas to be near her sister, Mary. Martha was the youngest of three girls, joining her older sisters, Glenda Gilbert Blackstock and Mary Gilbert Malinowski. She and Mary shared the special distinction of being the first twins born at Joan Glancy Hospital in Duluth. She previously lived in Norcross.
She is survived by her twin sister, Mary Gilbert Malinowski, and her husband, Bob Malinowski, as well as many nieces and nephews, whom Martha loved dearly. She is also survived by Travis’s fiancée, Naomi, and her children, Ella and Reid, who brought joy to Martha’s life, and Travis’s daughter, Taylor Anne Morgan, who held a special place in her heart. Martha also leaves behind countless friends who will always remember her kindness, warmth, and bright spirit.
Martha had a passion for cooking, creating delicious meals that brought family and friends together. She also cherished traveling across the country with her husband, Offie, exploring new places and creating treasured memories along the way. Martha will be deeply missed and forever remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing her. Information provided by Bill Head Funeral Home of Duluth.
Moonshine part of Georgia life before and during prohibition
Moonshine was a part of life in southern Appalachia long before prohibition. The mountains of north Georgia provided both a steady stream of water to power stills and seclusion from the prying eyes of law enforcement. The product itself offered farmers a source of supplemental income, one which proved easier to transport across mountainous terrain than the corn crop.
During the 1870s the Internal Revenue Service attempted to collect taxes on so-called luxury items such as liquor and tobacco. Not only could many southerners not afford the tax, but they also saw it as an infringement of their liberties and refused to pay. In 1876 the Commissioner of Internal Revenue reported that the federal government lost millions of dollars in annual revenue because southern Appalachian home brewers, including those in north Georgia, avoided paying federal taxes on their products. To recoup lost revenue, federal agents targeted Appalachian communities for increased surveillance, often working with U.S. troops to eliminate illegal distilleries. The resulting “moonshine war” was waged throughout the mountain South, but was particularly deadly in Georgia, which suffered more casualties than any other state targeted in the raids.
When the Georgia legislature passed statewide prohibition in 1907, the moonshine industry expanded to meet demand. In 1914 the Atlanta federal court saw 564 criminal “illicit distillery” cases. Dawson County even became known as the “moonshine capital of America,” a distinction that was applied at one time or another to three other counties in the Southeast. Between the 1930s and 1950s, the peak era of production, federal agents seized more than 500,000 gallons a year with profits in the millions, making moonshining one of the most successful commercial enterprises in the area.
In 1917 the American Medical Association (AMA) concluded that alcohol was without therapeutic value of any kind. However, after the passage of prohibition, the AMA reversed its position and identified 27 ailments—including diabetes and cancer—that could be treated with alcohol. In Georgia, Representative Seaborn Wright of Floyd County proposed an amendment to allow druggists to sell alcohol to hospitals and charitable institutions for medicinal purposes.
Many companies looking to turn a profit created alcoholic miracle cures that had to be approved by both the Department of Justice and the Prohibition Bureau in Washington, D.C. In exchange for a small fee, physicians typically prescribed the maximum amount permitted—one pint every ten days. The government allowed physicians to issue 100 alcohol prescriptions every 90 days, but corruption was rampant, and many exceeded the monthly limit. From 1921 to 1930, doctors earned an estimated $40 million from writing whiskey prescriptions.

Tall shaft may prove difficult as Mystery Photo
Today’s Mystery Photo is distinctive, and perhaps even hard to identify. And it’s not anywhere around here. Try your hand at telling us what and where it is. Send your idea to ebrack2@gmail.com, and include your hometown.
More GwinnettForum readers than you think have been to Wyoming, you would think, from the response to the last mystery. Identifying the photo of the Cathedral Group of mountain peaks in the Grand Teton National Park were many, including Mike Tennant, Duluth; George Graf, Palmyra, Va.; Kay Montgomery, Duluth; Ben Haynes, Buford; Tanya Moore, Norcross; Jay Altman, Columbia, S.C.; Lou Camerio, Lilburn; and Stew Ogilvie of Rehobeth, Ala., who sent along this view of Slide Lake, where he stayed a week 18 years ago.The photo came from Ann Royster of Shelby, N.C., who travels often, via her sister, Susan McBrayer of Sugar Hill.
Allen Peel of San Antonio, Tex. provided additional information: “Today’s mystery photo features a gorgeous sunrise view of part of the Cathedral Group of mountain peaks in the Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming. The photo was shot approximately seven miles from Jackson Hole. The trail is short and easy and is very popular for catching sunrise and sunset photos of the tallest part of the Teton Mountain Range.
Slide Lake, photo provided.
‘This photo shows some of its highest peaks, including Grand Teton, which at 13,775 feet tall, is the highest point of the Teton Range and the second-highest peak in Wyoming. Here is the list of the four peaks in the mystery photo, together with their height, listed left-to-right:
- Middle Teton (12,804′);
- Grand Teton (13,775′);
- Mount Owen (12,928′); and
- Teewinot Mountain (12,320′).”
