Filed under Blog, Market Updates, Marrero

An absorption report is a tool used to determine trends in your real estate market.

  • How many homes are for sale in the area?  Note:  Homes listed with an agent only - For Sale by Owners are not included in these reports.
  • How long is it taking them to sell? 
  • How many have sold in the last 90 days? 
  • What price ranges are selling fastest? 

It is basically a bird’s eye view of the supply and demand in your real estate market and is a way to do a spot check of current market conditions.  Remember, an absorption report is only a snapshot of the current market and the percentages change each time a new listing comes on the market or an existing listing sells.

Marrero - Zip code 70072

(as of 11/24/2007)

As always, price is key to getting your home sold quickly.  A poor location or less than perfect condition can be overcome with the appropriate price.  Resist the temptation to price it high and wait for offers!

Dinner and a Movie in Algiers LA

November 21, 2007 by lisa  
Filed under Around Town, Blog, Local restaurants

Winter, such as it is in New Orleans, is creeping up on us.  Daylight savings time has ended and the days are so much shorter.  When it’s dark by 6:00 pm, I feel like the day is over and I just don’t want to do much of anything.

 Movies

Sometimes you just want to curl up on the sofa with a loved one and watch a movie.  Either the latest Hollywood hits on DVD or those old faithfuls…you know, the movies that are guaranteed to bring a smile to your face or a tear to your eye.  In Algiers, the only movie rental place to see and be seen at is Blockbuster, located in the Village Aurora Shopping Center at 4100 General de Gaulle.  Blockbuster has something for everyone, including all of the popcorn, candy and sodas you would find at the theatre…but at a much better price.

 

Who needs to cook?  With so many dining options, before you choose your evening movie entertainment, stop in and grab a bite at one of the many restaurants in Algiers.  Dine in, take out or even delivery for those ordering a pay-per-view or watching a classic from your video collection.

National Chains in Algiers

  • Applebee’s Neighborhood Grill  4001 Gen. de Gaulle  Newly reopened in November, 2007.
  • Bennigan’s Grill & Tavern  3001 Holiday Drive (next door to the library)

Locally Owned Restaurants in Algiers                    

  • Olive Branch Cafe  5145 General de Gaulle Drive.  Dine in or take out - this is one of my favorite Olive Branch Cafeplaces to order from.  Specialty pizzas, pasta dishes, salads and more.  The online menu makes it soooo easy to decide ahead of time! 
  • LAN’s Palace Chinese Restaurant  3439 Kabel Drive.  Traditional Chinese and Vietnamese cuisine. 
  • Chubbie’s Fried Chicken  4850 General Meyer   Without a doubt, some of the best friend chicken on the West Bank!  Get there early, though.  Chubbie’s is only open 11 am - 6 pm weekdays.  The chicken and po-boys are worth planning ahead for.
  • Rendez-Vous Cafe  3001 General de Gaulle  A fairly new entry into the Algiers dining scene, Rendez-Vous serves breakfast, lunch and dinner.  Convenient location to stop in when coming home from the East Bank.
  • PJ’s Coffee & Tea Company  4100 General de Gaulle (Village Aurora Center)  Make sure you don’t wear your grubbies…you are sure to see someone you know!  Free Wi-Fi available here.
  • The Bar B Q Place  4100 General de Gaulle (Village Aurora Center)  One of my new favorite restaurants, the The Bar B Q Placeowner Rusty is on site.  Tell him hi for me!  psst..it’s not bbq, but try the grilled tuna - it’s fabulous!
  • Dry Dock Cafe  133 Delaronde (Algiers Point)  Literally steps from the Algiers Ferry Landing, this is a local favorite.  Try the Best Bank Burger.
  • Dimartino’s Famous New Orleans Muffuletta’s  3900 General de Gaulle  A New Orleans original, my favorite is the roast beef po-boy.  Messy, but well worth it.
  • Mandarin House Chinese Buffet  3400 Holiday Drive   Reasonably priced, kid friendly, all you can eat Chinese buffet.
  • Aunt Leni’s Cafe and Market  323 Verret St (Algiers Point)  Again, make sure you’re dressed…you never know who you might run into.
  • Tout de Suite Coffee Shop and Cafe  347 Verret St (Algiers Point)  Filled with friendly locals, Tout de Suite offers a great selection of coffees, teas, specialty drinks and a light and refreshing menu
  • Zack’s Famous Frozen Yogurt  4100 General de Gaulle (Village Aurora Center)  Located just a few steps from Blockbuster, making it easy to grab a cone before you head home.

If you are interested in becoming part of the Algiers community, take a look at these great homes for sale in Algiers and Algiers Point.  We’d love to have you!
