It’s pretty obvious that home sales in the 70114 zip code of Algiers are suffering.  Year to date, there have been 67 successful single family home sales, compared to 108 at the same time last year.

There are, in my opinion, a couple of reasons for this:

  1. Sales in Algiers Point have dropped to a very low level
  2. The condition of many of the properties being sold makes them attractive only to investors.  Given the difficulty in obtaining financing (higher down payments, shorter time for repayment) for investment properties, the majority of the buyers of these homes are dealing with cash.  Typically, a cash investor is looking at the lower end of the inventory, so the homes that sit in the middle are languishing on the market.

There was a spike in November of the home sale prices, mostly due to a couple of higher end homes selling We aren’t seeing too much of that, so it has a greater impact on the averages.   Year to date, the average home sale price is at $117,680, down 10.5% from 2008.  The combined drops in both the number of sales and the average sale prices present an opportunity for buyers in the area.

I wonder what you get for $13,000?  not much here....can't imagine it would be too much there either.

Thanks for the update,

Merry Christmas,

John

Thanks, Teresa :)  It's an unfortunate reality that we are still listing and selling these homes over 4 years later.

Grace, yes, all of the graphs (with the exception of the first one) were created in excel.  The top one is created by my MLS.
