The Smyrna Vinings townhome and condo market continued its improvement in September much like the Smyrna Vinings single family home market. Smyrna Vinings condo and townhome sales have had a great turnaround in 2013. Sales are hovering close to 2007 levels at this point and likely to pass next month. As you can see, we’ve been tracking the market for quite some time. We sell a lot of Smyrna Vinings homes, condos and townhomes and one of the major reasons is that we specialize in the area, we know the inventory of homes for sale and understand the trends, statistics and all the local pertinent information necessary for you to make an informed decision. As you’ll notice, the green bar is 2007 and we were selling a lot more condos and townhomes in 2007. Sales dropped continuously in 2008, ...

The Week in Review: Smyrna mortgage interest rates pushed higher last week as the debt ceiling deadline approaches. What to Expect: Once again this week the debt ceiling issue will be the main driver of mortgage rates. Several scheduled economic reports will not be released because of the ongoing government shutdown. At this point, multiple outcomes are possible before the October 17th deadline. As a result, we suggest locking in and not taking the risk of a sharp increase in rates. Mortgage rates are still much lower than they were at the beginning of September – take advantage of it.

Smyrna Vinings home sales continue to grow and in just this year we’ve seen a huge surge in sales. In the past three months, sales, while still increasing, are not doing so at the same pace as earlier this year. This chart shows you the past 12 months of home sales at any given point. As you’ll notice, the green bar is 2007 and we were selling a fair amount more homes in 2007. Sales dropped significantly in 2008, with the drop becoming more pronounced toward the last quarter of 2008. That would be the beginning of the financial meltdown. 2009 home sales started off about 32% off the level just two years previously in January 2007. We saw Smyrna Vinings home sales continue to drop in 2009, but then leveling off in late summer and actually seeing sales pick up toward the end of the year. ...
