Smyrna Vinings Home Market Update

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.

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 big increase in condo listings last month, there was a 2% increase this month. The Smyrna Vinings condo and townhome market, increased by 9 units over last month, with a total of 466 units now on the market compared to 457 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.

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 bankin industry.

Also expect to see the inventory amounts continue to increase over the next few months as we continue through the peak listing season in Atlanta.

As I mentioned last month, much of the statistical improvement was due to the normal cyclical reduction versus an actual improvement trend in the Smyrna Vinings market. And as we start to push into the Spring, we’re going to see inventories rise, but hopefully sales will improve as well.

Smyrna Vinings Home Market Update

What’s 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.

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.

I know for all those trying to sell their home or thinking about selling, you may get excited when you see the improved numbers, but I do believe this is more of a cyclical reduction versus an actual improvement trend in the Smyrna Vinings market.

This past month in the Smyrna Vinings home market we saw no change in the number of active listings compared to last month and a slight improvement in the months of inventory to 9.87 months. We still have 690 active homes in Smyrna Vinings compared to 690 in December.

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. New construction in this price point include Morris Commons, Sherwood Forest, 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 decrease in condo listings last month, there was another decrease, but don’t get too excited. The Smyrna Vinings condo and townhome market, decreased by 17 units over last month, with a total of 391 units now on the market compared to 408 in December. Much like the home market, condo and townhome months of inventory has decreased further to 11.42 months.

Now let’s put some perspective on these numbers, first of all we’re looking for 6 months of inventory to be equally balanced between a buyer’s and a seller’s market. The reductions are largely cyclical. November, December and January typically show these sorts of reductions. In comparison to January 2007, we have a 26% increase in the amount of active homes listed in Smyrna Vinings and we’ve experienced a 41% increase in the months of inventory. On the Smyrna Vinings townhome and condo front, compared to last year, we have had a 16% increase in the amount of inventory and a 13% increase in months of inventory. Frankly, it’s amazing how quickly this market has deteriorated.

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 $300,000 in condos and townhomes continue to lead the local market in health.

I know for all those trying to sell their home or thinking about selling, this is the last thing you’ll want to hear, but the market continues to worsen in both single family homes and townhomes and condos in the Smyrna Vinings market.

This past month in the Smyrna Vinings home market we saw a 3% decrease in active listings compared to last month but a worsening in the months of inventory to 10.63 months. We now have 765 active homes in Smyrna Vinings compared to 788 in September.
