The 60-second read
Braselton spans four counties: Gwinnett, Hall, Barrow, and Jackson. This guide covers the Gwinnett County corner, a small, expensive slice that logged 88 FMLS closings in the 12 months through September 2026 at a $574,995 median.
The spread here is enormous. The middle half of sales ran $498,742 to $1,136,250, and the top quarter of sales topped 6,048 square feet. With numbers this thin, one estate closing moves the whole median; read the band, not the midpoint.
What the housing stock actually is
Everything is new here by metro standards. 64% of Gwinnett-side homes sold were built in 2015 or later and the other 36% in the 2000s through the early 2010s; nothing older registered in the sales mix. The typical sale spans a huge range, 2,115 to 6,048 square feet.
The middle half of Gwinnett-side Braselton sales for the year ending September 2026 ran $498,742 to $1,136,250 at a median $190 per square foot, per FMLS closings compiled by the Terence Richardson Group. Annual medians whip around in a market this small: $727,500 in 2021, $1,110,000 in 2023, $817,500 in 2025. That's mix, not mania; a few estate closings swing the number. The 91.6% average close-to-list ratio says big-ticket sellers negotiate.
