The housing market can be a fickle thing, as played out in a recent scenario involving Cresswind at Lake Lanier in Gainesville. In 2015, residents complained about trees being removed as a tunnel was being built to connect portions of the retirement community. The Hall County Tax Assessors Office recalled a similar situation at another older adults community, Village at Deaton Creek in South Hall, where road work had taken place and “resales of some of the homes were around 5 percent less (than the original price),” Deputy Chief Appraiser Kelly McCormick said.
