Based on January sales, it would appear that Marrero has around an eleven (11) month supply of homes on the market. However, the good news is that things are picking up in 2008, as evidenced by the homes under contract and pending sale:

While not all of the homes under contract will make it to closing in February, it still represents a marked increase in potential sales for the coming month.
Marrero Home Sellers: Remember that there is still a lot of competition in 
the market for the buyers and that the homes in the best condition with the best price will sell first.
