Smyrna Vinings Home Market Update

It’s time again for our update on the latest in the Smyrna Vinings home market? In the table above, we have shown by zip code for both single family homes and condos the amount of homes currently active and resulting months of inventory.

Now that we’ve hit the Fall real estate market in Smyrna Vinings, we should start to see inventories further reduce in the Smyrna Vinings market in homes, condos and townhomes. This is not always a result of improved sales, but rather the fact that fewer sellers want their homes on the market over the holiday season and the additional fact that fewer buyers are usually looking at this time of the year.

This past month in the Smyrna Vinings home market we had a small decrease in the number of active listings compared to last month and a slight improvment in the months of inventory to 12.00 months. We have 679 active homes in Smyrna Vinings compared to 707 in October.

As noted previously, some areas are still heavily weighted due to so much new construction that has entered the market at a price point that was not common in the Smyrna Vinings home market. We’re starting to see many of these builders reduce price and increase incentives as a result.

Incentives include anything from price reductions, to free upgrades, free cars, finished basement, etc. All as a way to motivate the buyers sitting on the fence and a little gun-shy to pull the trigger and buy their new Smyrna Vinings home. 

New construction in this price point include Cottage Garden, Walker Street Manor, Morris Commons, Sherwood Park, Brookside Park, The Cottages at Market Village, West Haven, Cottages at Lois Pointe, Woodbridge Crossing, Medlin Place, Vinings Estates, Stonehaven at Vinings, Stonecrest Manor, The Estates at Ellis Wade, Kensington Green, West Village, Spring Street Village, Rileys Walk, Walker Street Cottages, Collier Place, Concord Lake Village, Cottages at Parkview Village, Barnes Mill, Collins Lake Estate and Wakefield Estates.

After a 3% decrease in condo listings last month, there was a 2% decrease this month. The Smyrna Vinings condo and townhome market, decreased by 7 units over last month, with a total of 408 units now on the market compared to 415 in October. Months of inventory have increased to 15.90 months, which still has a way to go to get back to a healthy market.

Economic news has improved interest rates dramatically. Downward movement of rates signal a great buying opportunity. Also, the government financial bailout package will result in a lot of banks holding back on foreclosing on homes and trying to work out individual situations to limit the recent surge in foreclosures. This will mean fewer homes hitting the market, but it will also mean fewer opportunities for buyers or investors looking for deals.

If you’ve thought about selling your home, don’t fret. While the statistics aren’t great, homes are still getting sold. However, now more than ever, it’s imperative that your home is positioned properly in the marketplace. If you have any questions on how best to do that, don’t hesitate to contact us.

Smyrna Vinings Home Market Update

Well, we’re back to update you on the latest in the Smyrna Vinings home market? In the table below, we have shown by zip code for both single family homes and condos the amount of homes currently active and resulting months of inventory.

This past month in the Smyrna Vinings home market we had a small decrease in the number of active listings compared to last month but a worsening in the months of inventory to 12.19 months. We have 707 active homes in Smyrna Vinings compared to 710 in September.

As noted previously, some areas are still heavily weighted due to so much new construction that has entered the market at a price point that was not common in the Smyrna Vinings home market. We’re starting to see many of these builders reduce price and increase incentives as a result.

Incentives include anything from price reductions, to free upgrades, free cars, finished basement, etc. All as a way to motivate the buyers sitting on the fence and a little gun-shy to pull the trigger and buy their new Smyrna Vinings home.

After a 5% decrease in condo listings last month, there was a 3% increase this month. The Smyrna Vinings condo and townhome market, increased by 13 units over last month, with a total of 415 units now on the market compared to 402 in September. Similar to the home, condo and townhome markets, months of inventory have increased to 15.47 months, which still has a way to go to get back to a healthy market.

Moving forward be on the lookout for economic news and how it might impact interest rates. Downward movement of rates could signal a great buying opportunity. Also, the government financial bailout package will result in a lot of banks holding back on foreclosing on homes and trying to work out individual situations to limit the recent surge in foreclosures.

Smyrna Vinings Home Market Update

We’re back again for the latest update on the Smyrna Vinings home market? In the table above, we have shown by zip code for both single family homes and condos the amount of homes currently active and resulting months of inventory.

Inventories have actually decreased in the Smyrna Vinings market in homes, condos and townhomes, but don’t get too excited just yet.  But first the good news, in the Smyrna Vinings single family homes, we look like we may have come off the summer peak and we have fewer homes on the market than last year at this time.  

This past month in the Smyrna Vinings home market we saw a 7% decrease in the number of active listings compared to last month and an improvement in the months of inventory to 11.44 months. We have 710 active homes in Smyrna Vinings compared to 763 in August.

As noted previously, some areas are still heavily weighted due to so much new construction. Builders have struggled to sell off inventory in the Smyrna Vinings home market. We’re starting to see many of these builders reduce price and increase incentives as a result.

Incentives include anything from price reductions, to free upgrades, free cars, finished basement, etc. All as a way to motivate the buyers sitting on the fence and a little gun-shy to pull the trigger and buy their new Smyrna Vinings home. Of course the recent tanking of Wall Street, the demise of numerous investment banks and the uncertainty over financials have not helped recently.

New construction in the Smyrna Vinings area includes Cottage Garden, Walker Street Manor, Morris Commons, Sherwood Park, Brookside Park, The Cottages at Market Village, West Haven, Cottages at Lois Pointe, Woodbridge Crossing, Medlin Place, Vinings Estates, Stonehaven at Vinings, Stonecrest Manor, The Estates at Ellis Wade, Kensington Green, West Village, Spring Street Village, Rileys Walk, Walker Street Cottages, Collier Place, Concord Lake Village, Cottages at Parkview Village, Barnes Mill, Collins Lake Estate and Wakefield Estates.

After a 5% decrease in condo listings last month, there was an additional 5% decrease this month (that’s three months in a row with 5% drops in inventory). The Smyrna Vinings condo and townhome market, decreased by 22 units over last month, with a total of 402 units now on the market compared to 424 in August. Much like the home market, condo and townhome months of inventory has decreased to 14.80 months, which while an improvement, still has a ways to go to get back towards a healthier market. 

But while inventories have dropped as well as months of inventory, sales have not increased markedly. What this means is that the first two statistics appear to indicate that the market has improved, but in reality the improvement in the first two statistics is actually due to significant number of homes leaving the market as expireds or withdrawns.

What to look for? We need to keep whittling away at the inventory levels (through sales preferably) and we also have to hope that mortgage rates stay somewhat benign and don’t continue to increase. Obviously a lot of people are looking to the crazy economic news, the bailout program and the insane gas situation, all of which cause some concern.

But with all that said. Homes are continuing to sell. However, now more than ever, it’s imperative that your home is positioned properly in the marketplace. If you have any questions on how best to do that, don’t hesitate to contact us.

What started out as a liquidity crunch and the demise of Atlanta’s own Homebanc a little over a year ago, seemed like a small tree falling over in the woods in retrospect. Now the giant Sequoias seem to be smashing to the ground with banks and investment firms disappearing or being gobbled up left and right. As I’ve continually mentioned since last year, don’t be surprised to see further deterioration.

Also expect to see the inventory amounts continue to decrease over the next few months as we head into the Fall and Winter (do we have Winter?) in Atlanta.

Once again, we’re back to update you on the lastest in the Smyrna Vinings home market? In the table below, we have shown by zip code for both single family homes and condos the amount of homes currently active and resulting months of inventory.

Inventories have started to shrink in the Smyrna Vinings market in homes, condos and townhomes. And as we wrap up Summer, we should see inventories begin to decrease, and hopefully it will be from sales improving, but don’t be surprised to see our months of inventory continue to increase as supply is well ahead of demand.

This past month in the Smyrna Vinings home market we had no increase in the number of active listings compared to last month and a worsening in the months of inventory to 12.84 months. We have 763 active homes in Smyrna Vinings compared to 763 in July.

As noted previously, some areas are still heavily weighted due to so much new construction that has entered the market at a price point that was not common in the Smyrna Vinings home market. We’re starting to see many of these builders reduce price and increase incentives as a result.

Incentives include anything from price reductions, to free upgrades, free cars, finished basement, etc. All as a way to motivate the buyers sitting on the fence and a little gun-shy to pull the trigger and buy their new Smyrna Vinings home. 

New construction in this price point include Cottage Garden, Walker Street Manor, Morris Commons, Sherwood Park, Brookside Park, The Cottages at Market Village, West Haven, Cottages at Lois Pointe, Woodbridge Crossing, Medlin Place, Vinings Estates, Stonehaven at Vinings, Stonecrest Manor, The Estates at Ellis Wade, Kensington Green, West Village, Spring Street Village, Rileys Walk, Walker Street Cottages, Collier Place, Concord Lake Village, Cottages at Parkview Village, Barnes Mill, Collins Lake Estate and Wakefield Estates.

After a 5% decrease in condo listings last month, there was an additional 5% decrease this month. The Smyrna Vinings condo and townhome market, decreased by 20 units over last month, with a total of 424 units now on the market compared to 444 in July. Unlike the home market, condo and townhome months of inventory has decreased to 14.96 months, which still has a way to go to get back to a healthy market.

Be on the lookout for a blip in sales next month. With down payment assistance being phased out, we could see a quick surge in the lower priced homes. Additionally, be on the look out for economic news and how it might impact interest rates. Downward movement of rates could signal a great buying opportunity.

If you’ve thought about selling your home, don’t fret. While the statistics aren’t great, homes are still getting sold. However, now more than ever, it’s imperative that your home is positioned properly in the marketplace. If you have any questions on how best to do that, don’t hesitate to contact us. The fallout from the liquidity crunch on the mortgage industry is still of effect. In fact, don’t be surprised to see further fallout in the mortgage and banking industry.

We’re back again to update you on the lastes in the Smyrna Vinings home market? In the table below, we have shown by zip code for both single family homes and condos the amount of homes currently active and resulting months of inventory.

Inventories have continued to increase in the Smyrna Vinings market in homes, condos and townhomes. And as we go through Summer, we’re going to see inventories rise, but hopefully sales will improve as well, but don’t be surprised to see our months of inventory continu to increase as supply is well ahead of demand.

This past month in the Smyrna Vinings home market we had just a 1% increase in the number of active listings compared to last month and a worsening in the months of inventory to 12.76 months. We have 775 active homes in Smyrna Vinings compared to 771 in May.

Much like the home market, condo and townhome months of inventory has increased to 15.49 months, which unfortunately does not bode well for those trying to sell their condos and townhomes. We’ve seen nearly a 3 month increase months of inventory in just two months.

What to look for? As I continue to reiterate, the market, while overall doesn’t look that healthy, does have numerous patches of very healthy and vibrant segments. In fact, under $400,000 in homes and under $200,000 in condos and townhomes continue to lead the local market in health.
