Gretna LA 70053 | Number of Homes Sold | February 2010

The 3 Gretna home sales that were recorded in February were all properties in need of major repairs, pretty much the type of listings that only attract investors with cash because the condition of the homes are so poor. Otherwise, the city is on target with 6 sales year to date, compared to 7 at the same time last year.

Days on market dropped to 72, but again, remember that these investor properties sold faster than the typical home in the area. It may take a couple of months for the averages to balance out and give a truer picture of the market, especially given that the average days on market for active listings is currently at 143.

Gretna LA 70053 | Average Single Family Home Sale Price | February 2010

The average sale price took a big hit in February due to the condition of the properties sold. This should not be considered a real average for the area. Average sale prices will balance out over the year as more owner occupant homes are sold.
