lisa on Sep 13th 2007 Algiers LA, Market Updates
Many of my sellers are wondering (and asking me) "Why hasn’t my house sold yet?" Algiers has historically been a pretty easy place to sell real estate in, choices in schools abound, location is great, and crime is low…. what’s the problem?
It’s easy to SAY that the market has changed substantially in our post Katrina real estate environment, but the numbers prove it.

Sellers need to be aware that overpricing your home will result in it sitting on the market for a longer period of time. Buyers have so many choices in a new home that if yours is overpriced or not in prime condition, it will be passed over, often without an appointment even being made. You can’t sell it if you can’t get the buyers in the door!
