  • The 4th quarter of 2007 and the 1st quarter of 2008 were dominated by sales to investors rather than owner occupants.  More recent sales are showing (finally!) the gradual return of buyers who plan to live in the Point, rather than investors purchasing rental properties.
  • It continues to be very important that home sellers in Algiers Point be priced right and in tip top condition for today’s discriminating buyers.
