☕ Coffee with Chris

Hey there —
Pour a cup. Here’s your weekly look at life and real estate from Atlanta to Athens — including a featured home I think you’re going to like.

☕ C — Community
Groovin’ on the Green — Season Finale with R&B Inc. — Friday, September 18, 7:30 p.m., Loganville Town Green (255 Main Street). The last show of the 2026 summer concert series — free to attend, so it’s a great send-off to summer.
Live on the Lawn — Latin Explosion — Saturday, September 19, 6–9 p.m., Snellville Towne Green. Part of the Walton Gas summer concert series, featuring musical tributes to Latin artists.
Keep Newton Beautiful: Rivers Alive Cleanup — Saturday, September 19, 9 a.m., kicking off at Longhorn Steakhouse in Covington. A great way to give back if you’re local to Newton County.
Grayson Farmers Market — Wednesdays, 4–7 p.m., 475 Grayson Parkway. The season’s winding down, so catch it while you can.

🏡 O — On the Market
The story right now is a gentle shift toward buyers gaining a little more leverage. In Gwinnett, the county’s median sale price is down slightly year-over-year, homes are sitting a touch longer, and nearly a quarter of active listings have taken a price drop.
Why it matters: it’s still a fundamentally healthy market — homes are still selling close to list price — but buyers have room to negotiate that they didn’t have a year ago, and sellers who price accurately from day one are avoiding the price-drop trap altogether.

3191 Limrick Lane, Snellville, GA 30039
$415,000
4 Bed | 4 Bath | 3,389 Sq Ft | 1.1 Private Acres
A private, wooded 1.1-acre setting with brand-new flooring through the main living areas, a wraparound front porch, and a stone fireplace in the family room. The kitchen has a bright breakfast nook with a bay window and a walk-in pantry, and the primary suite features an oversized shower and soaking tub.
A separate guest suite with its own private stair access, a large bonus room, and a partially finished basement give this one real flexibility for a home office, gym, or rec space. It’s tucked near Stone Mountain and T.W. Briscoe Park, close to shopping and dining, and the Country Club of Gwinnett connects right into the subdivision.

🔧 E — Expert Tip: It’s Fescue Overseeding Season
If your lawn is fescue (most of ours out here are), mid-September through mid-October is prime time to overseed. Aerate first if your yard sees a lot of foot traffic or sits on compacted red clay, then overseed at the recommended rate and water lightly but consistently for two to three weeks. Do it now and you’ll have a thick, healthy lawn by spring.
