Smyrna Vinings Home Market Update – December

Welcome back!

Smyrna Vinings Home Market Update

We’re back 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 Winter real estate market in Smyrna Vinings, we should start to see inventories continue to 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, but we had an increase in months of inventory to 12.40 months. We have 652 active homes in Smyrna Vinings compared to 679 in November.

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 continuing to builders reduce price and increase incentives as a result and we’ve even seen foreclosures with some developments with prices being slashed..

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 2% decrease in condo listings last month, there was a 1% decrease this month. The Smyrna Vinings condo and townhome market, decreased by 4 units over last month, with a total of 404 units now on the market compared to 408 in November. Months of inventory have increased to 16.83 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.
