Almost all the sellers I meet these days want to know if they should wait until the spring to list their home. I tell them all the same thing: our inventory is low right now therefore there is less competition, and we have 473 homes pending in the area, including 305 in Lafayette parish alone. Yo...

Yes, it is a real car up in the tree. This car has been there for as long as I can remember (15+years). My husband says that there used to be another car in that tree when he was a child.

This may be a sign of great things to come for this beginning of 2012. If we look at home sales in Lafayette parish for 2011 when compared to 2010...

The Internet is the big winner again (40%) while print advertising keeps losing ground (2%). If you are a seller, you need to ma...

In the past few weeks, I've talked to several sellers who said that they are waiting to put their home on the market because more homes sell in the spring than in the winter. That is true.
