Smyrna Vinings Home Sales Recap for October

Time for us to recap the October Smyrna Vinings home sales. The Smyrna Vinings home market continues it’s improvement and has proven to be a lot more resilient than a lot of areas around metro Atlanta. 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 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 drop in 2009, but then leveling off in late summer and actually seeing sales pick up toward the end of the year. Typically, you expect sales to be higher in the late Spring and early Summer, but that hasn’t been the case in 2007-2009. The late surge in 2009 was due largely to first-time homebuyer incentives. Finally, in 2010, we’re starting to see a bit more of a traditional market with sales increasing late Spring to early Summer and then leveling off a bit. The other point to take away from this chart is that a lot of Smyrna Vinings homes are still selling. Many areas have experienced a significant drop in sales since June 30th when the home buyer tax credit expired. Obviously, we haven’t seen that here.

The Active Listings chart depicts Smyrna Vinings homes currently for sale. The general shape of the annual graphs are pretty consistent with what we would expect with more homes for sale during the late Spring and early Summer months. What we’ve seen occur in 2010 is that fewer homeowners have decided to sell their home. Some may feel like it’s time to stay put and some may feel like they just can’t sell in this market. Active Smyrna Vinings homes for sale at the end of October declined 6% from September figures. 2010 inventory levels are at an all time-low for October compared to the last three years. If you’ve thought about selling and just aren’t sure, be sure to contact us or find out how much your home is worth.

One other important statistic that we like to track is how we track the health of the Smyrna Vinings home market. Months of inventory is a calculation that takes the current amount of homes for sale and divides that by the number of homes that have sold in the last 12 months. What the result means is if no more homes were listed, how many months would it take, based upon the past 12 months activity, to sell all the homes currently for sale. A result of 6 months is considered a healthy market, less than 6 months a seller’s market and more than 6 months, a buyer’s market. What we can see from the chart above is that we were close to a seller’s market at the beginning of 2007, with the highest amount of bloat and most severe buyer’s market in July of 2009 with significant improvement in 2010. We’re still in a buyer’s market, but we’re at 10.8 months worth of inventory versus 14 months just a year ago and we’ve seen an improvement in October compared to September.

Finally, while these graphs are pretty insightful, we want to let you know what has sold each month. So here’s a quick recap of the Smyrna Vinings homes that sold in October.
