The Smyrna Vinings townhome and condo market continued its upward push in June much like the Smyrna Vinings single family home market. Smyrna Vinings condo and townhome sales have really taken off since March of this year, which is evident in the buyer activity that we’ve seen in 2013. Sales are nearly at 2008 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.

Smyrna Vinings home sales continued to sizzle in June, which is remarkable considering the low inventory of homes we have for sale these days. For the homes that do stand out from the crowd, we are seeing very strong demand and buyer competition for those homes. 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 actuall...

Gather the kids and kin to watch the adventure on the big screen in the open air. Please carpool as parking is limited. Wreck-It Ralph longs to be as beloved as his game’s perfect Good Guy, Fix-It Felix. Problem is, nobody loves a Bad Guy. But they do love heroes… so when a modern, first-person shooter game arrives featuring tough-as-nails Sergeant Calhoun, Ralph sees it as his ticket to heroism and happiness. He sneaks into the game with a simple plan — win a medal — but soon wrecks everything, and accidentally unleashes a deadly enemy that threatens every game in the arcade. Ralph’s only hope?

The Week in Review: Home mortgage interest rates came down a hair last week as Fed Chairman Bernanke attempted to calm the markets by stating accommodative monetary policy will remain in place for the foreseeable future. Rates moved down about .125%. What to Expect: There are a number of economic reports on tap for the week. However, those reports will be overshadowed by Bernanke’s scheduled testimony to congress on Wednesday and Thursday. Everyone wants to know the answer to one question: “What are the Fed’s plans for the future of QE”. You can bet he will get grilled on this topic. The markets will be listening very carefully to what he says. Will he reiterate last week’s calming message? The markets remain too volatile to float at this time. Lock-in rates when you find a property. F...
