Algiers Point | Number of Single Family Home Sales | January 2010

Days on market took a jump to an average of 136, but since it is just for one month, we’ll have to track it over time to get a true picture of how long it is taking homes that are priced right to sell.

Lisa Very informative market report. Is 100% conventional normal in New Orleans?
Lisa, Sounds like good news. I did read as I believe I mentioned that many people want to come HOME and are looking again in New Orleans and your lovely areas.
Lots of information now we just need to see more activity over time to see if it is a trend.
Karen, conventional is not the norm over most of the metro area. Algiers Point is a historic district, with many homes from the turn of the century, so often they are either over the FHA loan limits or there are conditions that don't meet the requirements.
Carole, if you can remember where you read that, I'd love to know.
Terry/Bonnie, I think this is going to be an interesting year :)
