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

Excluding English Turn and the Lower Coast of Algiers

• Homes priced between $100,000 and $160,000 are continuing to sell and that segment of the market is very well balanced, with right around a 5 month supply of homes for sale
• Interestingly, there is a large supply of homes for sale in the $60,000 to $100,000 range that are not selling quickly.  This can mostly be attributed to the poor condition of these properties.
• Homes priced over $160,000 are continuing to take longer to sell across the entire West Bank of New Orleans, not just in Algiers.

The inventory of homes for sale is spread across multiple subdivisions:

• Walnut Bend ~ 12 homes available
• Bocage ~ 19 homes available
• Tall Timbers ~ 21 homes available
• Park Timbers/Lennox Blvd. ~ 19 homes available
• New Aurora ~ 20 homes available

Remember, an absorption report is a snapshot of the market at the current time, and the statistical odds of selling in 90 days will vary depending on the number of homes for sale and recent closed sales.  This is not a guarantee that your home will sell within this timeframe, only a tool to use to gauge buyer interest in the various price ranges in the area.

Beyond price, the condition of a home continues to be the determining factor for most buyers.   Homes that offer the greatest value in their price range will almost always sell before those that require renovations or updates.  More information for West Bank home sellers

I can’t believe that no one has scooped up this terrific Algiers home with the best upstairs balcony/porch I’ve seen in the longest time.  

Newly priced at $192,500, there is still plenty of time for you to enjoy the summer in style…

The overall supply of homes for sale in Algiers, LA has decreased from the 14.9 months observed in April to the current 13.2 month supply.  Keep in mind that a balanced real estate market has a 5-6 month supply of homes for sale…more than that indicates a buyers market for the area.

Algiers (70131) continues to suffer from lagging home sales in almost every price range and continues to have over a one year supply of homes for sale across the community.  The number of homes listed for sale has remained steady with the same number of listings that we saw at this time last month. 

With so much competition for buyers in the area, sellers are being forced to become more flexible in both price and terms when selling their Algiers home, particularly in the over $275,000 price range.  Many of the changes to the lending market and the elimination of 100% financing are forcing buyers, especially first time buyers, to request assistance from the sellers with closing costs and other pre-paid items that are required to purchase a home.  I recommend that you consult with a West Bank REALTOR® who knows and understands not only the Algiers market but also the normal concessions that owners are making in order to successfully sell their home.
