Smyrna Vinings home sales in September 2017 picked up a notch in September. While the Fed continues to hike short-term rates, we haven’t seen much impact on long-term mortgage rates yet. A lot of this is due to the uncertain future economic policies of the federal government and the resultant impact on the economy and housing market during 2017. The overall expectation is that rates are going to start ticking up and this is clearly incentivizing buyers in today’s market.
