Welcome back!

Traton Homes announced last week that they would be completing the construction of Wakefield Estates on Atlanta Road. The swim neighborhood was originally built by Williamscraft and homes sold in the $500s and $600s.

With the tough home sales market in this price point, Traton Homes was able to step into the project and begin building homes at a very attractive price point, with homes starting from the $330s. Traton is offering a variety of floor plans, many of which were used in their highly successful Barnes Mill development.

Wakefield Estates features a total of 70 homes with a wonderful neighborhood clubhouse and swimming pool. Traton Homes will be building the remaining 33 homes in the neighborhood. Due to the attractive price point, Traton Homes has already written 11 contracts in less than a week.

Traton Homes has been building Smyrna Vinings homes for years and was the builder at Covered Bridge at Barnes Mill, Cooper’s Glen, Collier Gate, The Retreat at Old Vinings Lake, Reed Place and Carriage Hill.

In addition to the current builder incentives, the SmyrnaVinings.com team will also be offering a special buyer bonus. Contact us today for details. Certain conditions do apply. Don’t delay as the best lots are going quickly.

It’s that time of year when we get to spend time with friends and family and give thanks. This is also the time of year for those die-hard shoppers to prepare to assault the stores on what has become known as Black Friday. Now while you may be looking to take advantage of the latest deals, keep in mind that not all deals are found in the stores.

For example, you can find lots of great deals online.

Another option is in the Smyrna Vinings real estate market. Home prices have been reduced, interest rates are phenomenal and if you’re a first-time homebuyer you can qualify for $8,000 and if you’re a move-up homebuyer you can qualify for $6,500.

These kind of deals are going to be hard to beat in the stores or even online. To make your Black Friday shopping spree, easier, we’ve compiled up-to-date lists of Smyrna Vinings short sales as well as foreclosures in Smyrna Vinings.

From our family to yours, Happy Thanksgiving.

The Vinings Historic Preservation Society would like to wish you all a very happy Thanksgiving holiday. There is no better place on earth than Vinings and we are very thankful to have such wonderful and generous support from our community.

The Board of Directors, along with some Vinings elves, will be decorating their  three properties on Tuesday, December 1st. They will have shifts of volunteers working at 11:00 in the morning and 3:00 in the afternoon and they’d love to have your help.

They’ll meet at the Pavilion on Paces Mill Road and will be decorating wreaths to adorn the buildings, hanging lights and bows and they need a lot of elves to help with this! Everyone is welcome! Come for an hour or two or come for 30 minutes….any time you can donate to help them will be greatly appreciated!

If you have any clippings from your yard, such as magnolia leaves, nandina or holly berries, please bring those with you. If you can’t help, but would like to donate some clippings, please drop them off at the VHPS office, Pace House or Pavilion on Monday or Tuesday.

Wear something bright and festive! The Marietta Daily Journal will be at the Pavilion at 3:00 pm to photograph all the decorating action!

The week in review:

Home loan rates increased slightly during the week. However, they managed to end the week around the same levels where they began.

What to expect:

It is a shortened holiday week, but there are plenty of items on the agenda. Tuesday we get an update on consumer and business consumption with the GDP Report. Following on Wednesday is the Fed’s favorite gauge on inflation, the Core Personal Consumption Report. Also, the Treasury is auctioning off record levels of treasury securities the first three days of this week.

Weak economic news generally causes home loan rates to decrease and vice versa.

Breg-ometer:

Next 7 days: No significant change

Next 30 days: Rates are at record low levels; increase possible

Next 90 days: Higher
