The majority of the homes sold in the area in March were in Excellent condition, so potential sellers should be sure that they have prepared and priced their home well before going on the market since buyers in the community are looking for the best move-in values around.

Most of the sales were financed with FHA loans and 43% of the sellers provided some sort of assistance to the buyers with closing costs and pre-paids.  If you are considering selling a home in the area, be sure to choose an agent who can provide you with adjusted sales prices to account for these types of assistance and their impact on selling prices and your bottom line.

Gretna LA 70053 – Number of Homes Sold March 2009

The City of Gretna recorded 5 closed sales in March, bringing the year to date total to 12, compared to 16 at the same time last year.  Sales were across every spectrum, from new construction to properties in poor condition that need complete rehab. 

The loan of choice for March was conventional, with 60% of the sales being financed that way.  Since conventional loans are the hardest to get right now, these were well qualified buyers.

What did these buyers choose?  1 two bedroom home, 3 three bedroom homes and 1 four bedroom home were sold.  Days on market ranged from 0 to 362, with an average of 137 days.

Gretna LA 70053 – Average Home Sale Price March 2009

The average home sale price in Gretna for March was $158,600, but this was impacted by the sale of a property in poor condition for $42,000.  The median sale price (half sold for more, half sold for less) was $185,000.  Year to date, the average sale price if $151,451, up 4% from the 2008 average.

Have we seen the bottom? 

We won’t know that for sure until we continue to experience higher sale prices, but we have had buyers miss out on the homes they chose recently because there were competing, higher offers received on the properties at the same time.  Between the low interest rates, the first time buyer tax credit and the bargain prices, it’s time to get off the fence and find that new home!

Current real estate activity for Belle Chasse LA:

51 active listings

• High list price $1,700,000
• Low list price $85,000
• Average list price $414,827
• Median list price $305,000

12 pending sales, priced from $140,000 to $415,000

Based on March sales (3), there is a 17 month supply of homes for sale in Belle Chasse

Belle Chasse LA – Number of Homes Sold March 2009

Year to date, there have been 10 homes sold in Belle Chasse, compared to 23 at this same time last year.  New and newer construction is moving much faster than older homes, with the homes sold in March all coming in at or under 7 years old.

For sellers of older homes to compete with these younger houses, they need to be updated to offer the same type of amenities that buyers in the area are looking for.  Need a little help in understanding how to prepare your West Bank home for sale?  Read Getting Your Home Sold in This Market - 10 Steps to Success According to Professional Home Stagers

Belle Chasse LA – Average Home Sale Prices March 2009

The average home sale price in Belle Chasse for March was $388,066 (a reflection of the fact that these were all newer homes).  Year to date, the average sale price is $257,670, significantly below the 2008 average.  However, with the most active selling months just ahead of us, I would anticipate that the average sale price will increase. 

An important factor to remember when selling your Belle Chasse home is that appraisers are reviewing comparable sales for the last 90 days only, which could have a negative impact on your value.  If you are selling a unique property, it would be worth the $300-$400 to have it appraised before setting your list price.

I’m still recommending pre-inspections of homes as well – buyers are looking closely at condition and are not afraid to walk away from a property that needs a lot of repairs.

• There are 29 pending sales, priced from $29,900 to $216,125

Westwego, Avondale and Bridge City Home Sales – March 2009

The good news is that the number of home sales in Westwego, Avondale and Bridge City increased again in March, which is typical for the spring housing market.  If history holds any clues, we can expect to see a higher number of sales for the next 3 months or so.  The first quarter of 2009 saw 35 closed sales, compared to 43 in the first quarter of 2008.

The not so good news is that 8 of the 14 sales for March were of homes in either Poor, Fair or Average condition, so sellers who have a move in ready home are waiting a little longer for those offers, as it appears that the investors and do-it-yourselfers are making up the largest number of buyers in the area right now, with cash buyers making up almost half of the sales.

Westwego, Avondale and Bridge City Average Home Sale – March 2009

The year to date average sale price of $90,285 is down 7% from the 2008 average.  Again, most of this is caused by the condition of the homes sold, with a lesser condition equating to a lesser sale price.  Looking for ways to increase the sale price of your home?  Read Getting Your Home Sold in This Market - 10 Steps to Success According to Professional Home Stagers

Homes sold in March were on the market for an average of 95 days before receiving an acceptable offer.  To minimize marketing time, sellers need to be prepared, priced right and flexible with showings to attract the attention of qualified buyers.
