Marrero, LA: April 2008 Real Estate Absorption Report

Check out the Marrero absorption rates for April 2008 below.

• Entry level (under $120,000) homes are selling extremely well - so well that it is a seller’s market in these price ranges.  Note to buyers:  Be sure that you are pre-approved before you begin your home search or someone else may scoop your favorite home right out from under you!
• Spring sales have dropped the overall inventory in Marrero from 10.4 months in March to the current 8.3 months - this is a great improvement and shows a trend towards a more balanced real estate market in the area.
• Even some of the upper end of the price ranges are doing well this year.

Marrero, LA: Number of Homes Sold

 

There were 39 closed sales in Marrero in March 2008, just slightly below the 44 closed in March of 2007, and continuing the upward trend in the number of homes sold since the beginning of the year.

1st quarter sales were up just a tad from the 4th quarter of 2008.  With the start of the spring selling season, we can expect that number to continue to remain steady (and hopefully increase).

 

 

Marrero, LA: Average Home Sale Price

 

The average home sale price continued to climb for the 3rd straight month in Marrero, ending at $159,860 in March.  While average sales prices are not in the same range as the 3rd and 4th quarters of 2007, the fact that the market has balanced out is good news, since there is less fluctuation in average prices in a balanced market.

 

 

With the return of buyers to the market, home owners that are considering selling their Marrero home need an experienced West Bank agent to market their home to the largest number of qualified buyers possible.
