Historic Vinings Village has long exuded the charm and integrity of foregone years. Helping to ensure that charm remained was an Atlanta developer named Felix Cochran. His passion to create a gathering place or “town center” that would keep the look and feel of Vinings’ past was intense.   After the long and arduous process to devise the best plan that fit with the historic feel o f Vinings, Vinings Jubilee came to be. The Vinings Jubilee, acknowledged by residents as “downtown Vinings” with shopping and dining opportunities housed in a grouping of multiple buildings, each featuring an architectural element from the Victorian period.

The Smyrna Vinings townhome and condo market continued its upward push in July much like the Smyrna Vinings single family home market. Smyrna Vinings condo and townhome sales have really taken off since March of this year, which is evident in the buyer activity that we’ve seen in 2013. Sales have just hit 2008 levels at this point and likely to pass next month. 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 cond...

The Week in Review: Smyrna Vinings mortgage interest rates began the climb upward once again last week. Rates ended close to .125% higher after moving downward for a couple of weeks. What to Expect: This is a monster week with two market-moving events on the agenda. First, the monthly Fed meeting and interest rate decision could set the tone for near-term interest rate movement. Second, and equally important, is Friday’s Jobs Report where we obtain a reading on the state of employment. The Fed made employment one of their main factors in determining when to scale back QE initiatives. There is no rational reason to float rates into these events. Lock in when you can.

The Week in Review: Home mortgage rates ended the week a bit lower than they started off. This is good news for prospective home buyers… but will it be a temporary improvement in a rising interest rate environment? What to Expect: IT’S ALL ABOUT THE FED! There are a number of important economic reports set to be released this week; however, there is really no need to mention them. The Fed’s FOMC meeting and policy statement on Wednesday is the all-important event of the week. Will the Fed begin to taper the stimulus program? Political and economic pundits are all over the news this week with widely varying projections. This is one of the most anticipated meetings in some time. If the Fed announces a reduction in asset purchases, expect rates to move higher (and I mean the potential for...

The Week in Review: Thankfully, June is here. The month of May was not kind to mortgage interest rates. Overall, home loan rates moved up around .50%. What to Expect: With the rapid run-up in mortgage rates, will they come back down? The answer: It is possible. The underlying bond market needs a catalyst to end the current month run upward. Could Friday’s employment report provide the fuel needed to turn the market around? Maybe. The markets never go straight up or straight down. Many bond traders are expecting a reversal at these levels; however, the overall big picture for interest rates to move higher the next couple of years. Take advantage of this environment while it is here. For transactions closing in: Next 15 Days: Lock Next 30+ Days: Rates have a chance to drop, but have to a...
