Algiers, LA: 70114 April 2008 Home Sales and Real Estate Market Report

Of the 26 contracts that were pending at the beginning of the month, only 11 of them closed in Algiers (70114) in April. I’m finding that more and more often deals are falling apart over inspection issues and lack of financing. Also, some contracts are taking longer to close since many buyers are now using FHA financing, which typically takes a little longer to complete.

Here is a quick look at the current market in Algiers (70114):

Active listings: 105
Average list price: $233,598
Pending but continue to show listings: 5 (Average list price $139,760)
Under contract listings: 19 (Average list price $144,847)
Based on April sales, there is a 9.5 month supply of homes for sale - above the 6 month supply in a balanced market
