lafayette: Teeny Tiny Spiral Staircase in Lafayette Home! - 05/28/12 04:26 AM
I see many homes every week. It is the nature of my job. Sometimes I see pretty unique stuff, too, and in the least expected places. We discovered this teeny tiny spiral staircase in a closet while doing inspections at a small cottage in Lafayette last week. Fun stuff!
The space is tight for sure and the steps are barely wide enough for two feet side by side. The staircase leads to the attic with two panels opening at the top. In the attic, it looks like there once was a child's room or playroom that hasn't been used in … (3 comments)

lafayette: 232 Antigua in Lafayette, LA: Home with Guest Apartment and Workshop - 05/17/12 08:02 AM
This home at 232 Antigua in Lafayette, LA is truly a rare find in the middle of the city! The home features 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, a den, updated kitchen, laminate wood floors and tiles throughout, newly updated master bath, new windows, and more.
The kitchen was totally updated 2 years ago with cypress cabinets, thick granite counter tops and stainless steel appliances.
What makes this property somewhat special though is the 600 square feet, newly renovated guest apartment or mother-in-law suite with new AC/heat, new flooring, new fixtures, etc., and the large workshop with wrap-around porch (pictured below)! It … (2 comments)

lafayette: Lafayette Pending Home Sales Keep Rising! - 03/16/12 05:28 AM
Pending home sales in Lafayette are on the rise, still. I began following pending data in the spring last year and have never seen such high numbers. To be sure, our home sales are up as well so far this year when compared to last year and 2010.
Meanwhile, our inventory is having a hard time catching up. It remains low at this point, especially when considering the number of home sales pending in the area.
If you have been thinking about selling your home, now is the time to put it on the market. Contact me today for your confidential … (0 comments)

lafayette: Lafayette, LA foreclosures Rising Slightly - 12/04/11 12:33 PM
Lafayette's foreclosure listings have risen slightly in the past few months while the percentage of bank owned properties sold has remained pretty much the same.

lafayette: Playing with Photography in River Ranch, Lafayette, LA - 08/03/11 05:35 AM
I always loved photography. I am no professional but I believe that photography is like anyting else, it takes practice to become good and more practice to become great.
I also have to admit that I am a fan of Teresa Boardman's blog and I love her photography. So lately, I've been practicing and playing with apps on my iPad and iPhone to see what I could do with some of my own pictures.
The pictures below were taken in the Village of River Ranch in Lafayette. It's probably one of the best places to take pictures in Lafayette because it … (0 comments)

lafayette: Village of River Ranch, Lafayette, LA - Home Sales 2006-2011 - 07/25/11 03:36 PM
