Algiers Point | Number of Single Family Home Sales | September 2009

Algiers Point has had only 13 successful single family home sales this year, compared to 28 at the same time last year - a decrease of 54% in the number of closed sales. This marks the largest decrease of any of the West Bank communities that we track.

What about financing?

The buzz this year has been all about the first time home buyer’s tax credit. Most of these first time buyers are using FHA financing to purchase their homes. Given the percentage of conventional and cash deals in the Point, there appear to be very few first time buyers moving into the area.

Algiers Point | Average Single Family Home Prices | September 2009

While there was a jump in the September average (due to one high end home selling), the year to date average home sale in Algiers Point is $225,431, up slightly from the 2008 average.

While the prices may be holding their own, the number of sales (see above) is down dramatically and apparently sellers are not getting the message. The majority of homes on the market in the Point are priced above $250,000 - the homes selling are generally not. As we move towards the end of the year, it may be time to review your pricing strategy to see if it still makes sense in today’s market.
