This week I’m going to be covering all the latest new home projects around the Smyrna Market Village. Just a few years ago, no one was willing to build in this area. But slowly, builders have started to believe in the allure of all the Smyrna has to offer, particularly around the core of the Market Village.
While there are some small neighborhoods (25-50 homes) that are being built, you will continue to see a lot of smaller pockets and infill housing. There has been quite a bit of infill housing already built over the last few years as a builder would construct a row of houses on one street and another builder would accomplish the same feat on another street. The end result is that in just a couple years, all of the infill homes will be completed and you’ll be looking at one really large neighborhood.
Some of the projects that I’ll be covering this week will be:
Riley’s Walk
Spring Street Village
Walker Street Cottages
North Whitfield Reserve
Parkview Village
Other projects in the preliminary stages.
Stay tuned….

Here’s 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. Months of inventory indicates the number of months it is estimated to take to sell all active homes currently listed based upon the amount of homes sold in the past year in their respective zip codes and price points. More than 6 months of inventory typically points to it being a buyer’s market.
As noted last month, 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. New construction in this price point include Vinings Estates, Stonehaven at Vinings, Stonecrest Manor, Ellis Wade, Kensington Green, West Village, Spring Street Village, Rileys Walk, Walker Street Cottages, Collier Place, Concord Lake Village, Parkview Village, Barnes Mill, Collins Lake Estate and Wakefield Estates.
There is a similar trend in the condo market as we’re seeing the introduction of $500-750,000 condos in the Smyrna Vinings Market. Some of the developments influencing these statistics are Greystone at Vinings, One Ivy Walk and Kensington Green.
Beyond this, while there are variances within each zip code, the inventory amounts for other price points for the Smyrna Vinings home market actually indicates a fairly healthy housing market. Of interest, we’re seeing a steady drop in the months of inventory in the single family homes over the last few months. It has dropped from 7.66 in November to 7.40 in December to 7.02 this month. For single family homes, we’ve had a slight drop in active listings from last months update to 546 active homes from 559, while there continues to be no change in the active condo listings with 304 active condos on the market versus 305 in December.
What to look for? In the coming months, we should see the inventory increase slightly, but you should also expect to see an improvement in months of inventory as we are coming into prime selling season in Atlanta and the market fundamentals for the majority of price points in the Smyrna Vinings home market are fairly healthy.
