City of Gretna, LA: April 2008 Absorption Rates

A quick look at the current absorption rates for Gretna, LA shows an improving market in several price ranges.  Homes in the $120,000-$180,000 and the $225,000-$250,000 are all showing an almost perfectly balanced market of 5-6 months supply of available properties for sale.  This is great news for Gretna home sellers in these price ranges!

Surprisingly, the lower end homes are not moving as quickly, but this is mostly due to fact that condition continues to be a huge factor in home sales and the condition of properties in these price ranges is typically less than average.
