New Orleans West Bank Rentals - January, 2008
I have received several calls recently from people who are weighing whether to put their New Orleans West Bank home on the market to sell or to list it as a rental property.
Before you decide to sell, you may want to check the 2007 sales statistics for 
your West Bank neighborhood. A look back at history gives you a starting point before jumping into the real estate market. I can tell you personally, though, that since the 1st of the year, my phone has been ringing more! Potential buyers, agents setting appointments on my listings, inquiries from folks who are thinking about selling. If you are ready to be a part of the 2008 West Bank real estate market, feel free to contact me and we can get the ball rolling right away.
If, however, you are interested in renting your home instead of selling it, let’s take a look at the competition in the rental market. Remember, these are only rentals listed with an agent - private rentals are not included.
