47 New Homes for Sale in Smyrna/Vinings
Tuesday, January 17th, 2012 at 7:50am. 117 Views, 0 Comments.
There are already 47 new single family homes listed for sale in Smyrna and Vinings since the start of 2012 and some are selling very quickly.
Twice within the past week I have talked with buyers about homes that already have multiple offers, which means the seller has the luxury of requesting "highest and best" offers from prospective buyers. In most cases this means the seller will get at least their asking price, if not higher. This also means you want a skilled buyer's agent working on your behalf to negotiate the deal and make sure you still get a great value.
By far my favorite home for sale is located in the highly sought after neighborhood of Paces Lake in Vinings. This French inspired masterpiece at 2934 Paces Lake Drive just…

Is a Lower Mortgage Rate or Bigger Down Payment Better?
Thursday, October 13th, 2011 at 3:06pm. 270 Views, 0 Comments.
The question of whether to buy now while mortgage rates are down or wait until you have a bigger down payment, is one that is raised quite often. First time home buyers are particularly curious about this dilemma because they are less familiar with the process and often have less saved up to put down.
Each case is a little different but in general, having a lower interest rate on your mortgage is more important than having a larger down payment. In fact, your monthly payment could easily be less if you get a great rate and mortgage more.
Here's an example:
Mortgage rates for a 30 year fixed loan are close to 4% (actually slightly less today), which means your payment for a $250,000 house would be about $1,600 per month...if you made the…
Mortgage Rates and Interest Payments are Falling
Wednesday, August 24th, 2011 at 4:17pm. 227 Views, 0 Comments.
Amid the volatile stock market, economic gridlock in Washington and stagnant home sales, mortgage rates have continued to fall and save buyers thousands of dollars in interest.
Below is a chart showing how mortgage rates in 2011 have continued to drop for 30-year and 15-year fixed mortgages. Data is courtesy of www.FreddieMac.com
So, how does this translate into real numbers for your budget? Consider this, an average home buyer who purchases a $250,000 home today will save nearly $50,000 in interest payments on a 30 year mortgage versus a buyer who bought the same house in February for the same price.
Mortgage rates in February were about 5.05% and mortgage rates today are about 4.15%. A buyer who makes a 3.5% down payment will save…

We are now past the mid-point for 2011 and the most expensive property Atlanta has seen in recent years just sold. And while most of the sales numbers are down from last year, single family home sales have actually increased substantially in Vinings. Amid talks of a debt crisis in Washington, interest rates have remained low for now. It’s still a buyer’s market.
