The 60-second read
Lilburn moves fast. The median listing went under contract in 23 days across 563 FMLS closings in the 12 months through September 2026, and the average sale closed at 96.9% of list price.
The stock is an older mix: 43% of what sells was built in the 1960s and 70s, ranches and split-levels on big lots. If you can see past dated finishes, this is where sweat equity still exists on the I-85 side of the county.
What the housing stock actually is
Lilburn is the rare Gwinnett market where the 1960s and 70s dominate: 43% of homes sold, mostly ranches and split-levels on generous lots. Another 40% dates to the 1980s and 90s. The 2000s barely happened here, at 7% of sales.
The middle half of Lilburn sales for the year ending September 2026 runs $345,000 to $466,000, with typical homes between 1,782 and 2,880 square feet at a median $173 per square foot, per FMLS closings compiled by the Terence Richardson Group. The annual median climbed from $325,000 in 2021 to $396,000 in 2025. The band is wide because the stock runs from original condition to fully renovated.

What tends to work well
- Budgets between $345,000 and $466,000, the middle half of Lilburn FMLS sales for the year ending September 2026.
- Renovation-minded buyers; 43% of the stock sold was built in the 1960s and 70s.
- Buyers who want trail access; the Camp Creek Greenway adds paved miles along the creek.
- Anyone working the US 29 corridor or splitting commutes between I-85 and US 78.
What buyers should think about
- Buyers set on newer construction; only 9% of sales were built 2015 or later, and 2020-plus builds round to 0%.
- Anyone who wants an open-plan 2000s house; that decade is just 7% of the stock here.
- Buyers who need weeks to decide; the median listing is gone in 23 days.
- Rail commuters; MARTA rail doesn't cross into Gwinnett.
How are the commutes from Lilburn?
US 29, Lawrenceville Highway, runs through the middle of town and connects southwest toward Tucker and the DeKalb line. I-85 is 10 to 15 minutes north, US 78 about the same to the south, so Lilburn commutes split both ways. Surface streets carry the first and last miles; test the full route.
No rail reaches Gwinnett as of 2026. Local buses run the main corridors, and most households plan around driving.
Drive times are realistic off-peak to peak ranges, not promises. Test your own commute at your own hours before you buy; we say that to every client.
