Smyrna Vinings home sales remained strong in April. We very well may not see much more increase in sales numbers for the next several months as limited supply is definitely holding back a lot of buyers. 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 dr...

Smyrna 2013 Summer Concerts In what is undoubtedly the most important event of the year, that’s right, it’s time for table reservations for the Smyrna 2013 Summer Concerts. Now you may be thinking to yourself that this is a grammatical error, but it’s not. The most important event is actually the table reservations. And if you think I’m kidding, show up at 9 or 10 in the morning and you’ll be disappointed that you can’t get a table. Sure there may be a few left, but in particular, the tables for the Smyrna Birthday Celebration seem to go very quickly and are only available to those who actually get there at the crack of dawn. You have been warned, so show up early if you want those tables. Reserve a table through Smyrna Parks & Recreation for one or all of the Smyrna concerts. Reservat...

Thinking about buying a Smyrna Vinings home? The market has shifted dramatically and it will feel a little like Black Friday when you start shopping for that new home. With interest rates still in the 3s, you are able to lock in some great deals today at amazing payments. Which goes a long ways towards explaining why there are more buyers than sellers in today’s market. The key to purchasing a home is patience and preparation. You need patience as the right home may not be on the market today, but may be next week. But even more important is preparation. Have you been watching the market? Have you talked to a lender about financing? Have you saved up for your down payment? Have you reviewed your lease to understand when it expires and how soon you need to give notice? Have you consider...

The Smyrna Vinings townhome and condo market also saw a significant improvement in March much like the Smyrna Vinings single family home market. Smyrna Vinings condo and townhome sales continue at a higher rate than the same time last year, which is evident in the buyer activity that we’ve seen the first three months of 2013. 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. As you’ll notice, the green bar is 2007 and we were selling a lot more condos and townhomes in 2007. Sales drop...

Smyrna Vinings home sales surged in March. We’ve seen a strong rebound in the Smyrna Vinings home market since last Spring. Strong sales are great, but it is getting harder to find those great deals for our clients as inventory continues to shrink. So let’s get to it and see what’s going on in the only market that matters most to you, your local Smyrna Vinings home market. 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.
