Marrero LA Home Sales and Real Estate Market Reports

Home prices in Marrero have been up and down this year, with an average of $139,935, a decrease of over 10% from the 2008 average. 

The bad news is that prices have continued to drop. 

The good news is that unless you purchased your home in 2006-2008, you more than likely are at least at a break even point.  More and more, we are hearing from sellers who purchased at the peak that want to sell their homes.  Unfortunately, many of them owe more than they can get in today’s market.  If this is your situation, our advice is to stay put.  Real estate is cyclical and while we may be on a downswing right now, there is sure to be an upswing in the future.
