Harvey LA 70058 – Average Home Sale Price – April 2009

The average home sale price in Harvey continues to bounce around from month to month, but the year to date average is now at $144,699 (down about 6% from last year).

In April, only 2 homes were sold for more than $200,000, and the majority (60%) of the sales were of homes under $150,000.  If your West Bank home is on the cusp of that $150k price range, you may want to consider a price reduction to make it more attractive to buyers.  The ability to get financing remains tight, so holding out for a small amount of money may not make sense in the long run if your home stays on the market for months.

Buyer Assistance in April

  • 7 sellers paid an average of $432 for a home warranty for the purchasers
  • 10 sellers paid an average of $5,683 in closing cost assistance to the purchasers
