Real Estate Absorption Rates for Algiers, LA 70114 as of 6/18/2008

• A balanced real estate market has on average a 5-6 month supply of homes for sale.  Typically, over 6 months of inventory indicates a buyers market.
• The under $80,000 properties are continuing, as always, to sell pretty briskly
• The $225,000-$250,000 price range has shown improvement over the last couple of months
• The over $250,000 range (most of which is in Algiers Point) continues to have an over-saturation of listings on the market.  This is unfortunate for sellers of some of the beautiful homes in this area, but certainly presents an opportunity for savvy buyers to possibly make a great deal.
