While shopping last weekend, my husband and I were driving down Manhattan Blvd., headed to Chez Target. I darn near got whiplash turning around to take a second look at the neutral ground, since it was lined with the most unique Christmas trees I've ever seen.

So I had to go back to take a closer look at the hues that caught my eye….

Take heart Who Dats, there are black and gold trees as well. Wouldn't it be a hoot to keep the tree up and decorated for the Saints all the way through the Super Bowl?

A tree this bold is not for the faint of heart or the traditionalist, but imagine how much fun it would be! They seem like the perfect choice for stores, bars, restaurants. What about in your garden or front yard? That would definitely stop traffic :)

Pssst…if you decide that this is a holiday statement you want to make, be sure to ask for Kelly when choosing your tree. And if you get one, send us a picture – we’d love to see what your imagination comes up with!

Harvey LA 70058 | Number of Homes Sold | October 2009

Look at the jump in closed sales for Harvey!  While I don’t know the details on every single transaction, I would project that the large increase was due to the expected expiration on November 30th of the tax credit for first time home buyers that has been extended and expanded. 

Update to 2009 First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit

Should sales continue at the same pace (which is possible given the 58 pending sales), Harvey would be the shining star of West Bank real estate and the only seller’s market in the area, despite the fact that the number of sales is down almost 17% from the same time last year.

Harvey LA 70058 | Average Home Sale Price | October 2009

The average home sale price in Harvey for October was $158,129, bringing the year to date average to $163,373, UP 5.9% from the 2008 average and the only increase in home values that we are seeing on the West Bank of New Orleans. 

While this is good news, it’s important to remember that if you purchased your home during 2005-2007 you may only be at a break even point or experiencing a loss of equity.  Before deciding to sell, it’s important to know what’s going on in your neighborhood.  Get this week's free Harvey LA market snapshot

Harvey LA 70058 | Number of Homes Sold | September 2009

Harvey has seen 147 homes sold through September 2009, compared to 200 at the same time last year (a decrease of 26.5%).   Like most other areas, the majority of Harvey home buyers are using FHA financing.  These loans require the lowest down payment possible (3.5%) and appeal to the first time home buyers who are trying to get closed before the tax credit expires at the end of November.

Of note is the fact that 44% of the September buyers received an average of $2,756 in assistance from the seller with their closing costs and prepaids.  If you are considering selling your Harvey home, be sure that the agents you talk to can provide you with adjusted sales prices to take any of this assistance into account when determining an acceptable sales price.

Harvey LA 70058 | Average Home Sale Price | September 2009

While the average sale price dropped from August to September, the year to date average is still almost 7% higher than in 2008 – a rare occurrence of increasing prices in today’s market!  Remember, though, that this average does not take into account any seller paid assistance or allowances provided to the buyers at closing and your agent should be able to provide details such as this for sales in your neighborhood.

It’s pretty hard to impress a New Orleans native with boiled seafood. After all, we learn to peel crawfish and shrimp and pick crabs as soon as we are big enough to sit at the table – mostly because our parents quickly got tired of doing it for us. So while I had heard good things about Perino’s from friends, I didn’t have any really high expectations when we pulled into the parking lot on the West Bank Expressway.

 The front of the building is very plain and when you enter there is a to-go counter and a large, open dining room jam packed with cafeteria like tables and chairs for family style seating along with a few arcade games and a claw machine for the kids, big or small. Very 1970s, right down to the neon beer signs and stuffed animals hanging on the walls. Topping each table is a big roll of paper towels, a basket of crackers and butter and a rack of condiments including a huge squeeze bottle of cocktail sauce – the only thing missing is the newspaper covering the tables.

 The menu is pretty simple and straightforward. Seasonal boiled and fried seafood and traditional sides such as potatoes, corn and sausage. The specials when we visited were the fried crawfish tails and fried alligator, served in a basket with fries. Since the whole reason we came was because we heard how good the boiled seafood was, we promptly ordered crabs and shrimp and decided to try the crawfish tail basket as well instead of sides.

Thank goodness we ordered the crawfish, because each basket came with a bowl of some of the best gumbo I’ve ever eaten. Filled with shrimp and crab claw meat and perfectly spiced, I think hubby and I set a record for the fastest gumbo eating. We weren’t the only ones impressed, as I heard other diners complimenting it as well. It’s only served by the cup or the bowl, but I’d gladly pay for a gallon of it to serve for dinner at home.

 Dear hubby jumped into the crawfish tails (which were pretty darn good) before I could take a picture, but the blue crabs and shrimp were out of this world. Well seasoned and juicy, I knew it was a good meal by the number of paper towels we went through! The wait staff was very friendly, the big screen TV was playing a college football game and there was just a comfortable, old New Orleans feel to the place.

It’s not fancy by any means, but if you are looking for casual, family friendly dining and delicious food, take a drive to Harvey and check out Perino’s Boiling Pot. You won’t be sorry.

Perino’s Boiling Pot is located at 3754 West Bank Expressway in Harvey LA. Open Sunday through Thursday from 11:30 am – 10 pm and until 11 pm on Friday and Saturday. Need more information? Give them a call at (504) 340-5539.
