Algiers LA 70131 | Number of Homes Sold | November 2009

Algiers LA 70131 | November 2009 Home Sales and Real Estate Report Sales in Algiers took a dip in November, bringing the year to date number of homes sold to 194, an average of 17.6 homes per month.  If that average holds, we will end the year just slightly below the 2008 total.

The average days on market as of 11/30/2009 was 124, but don’t count on selling in that amount of time….the longest a home was on the market before selling this year was a whopping 935 days (over 2.5 years).

FHA loans continue to be the most popular financing option for buyers, making up 39% of the sales in Algiers this year, with conventional loans coming in second at 26%.  The surprise in the numbers below is the small amount of VA loans given the proximity of Algiers to NAS JRB New Orleans.  As the Federal City moves closer to completion, I would anticipate seeing an increase in the number of military buyers in the area.

Lisa, I'm curious if your pendings are almost twice as much as your sold listings due to pending short sales? Are they impacting your market much there? Our percentage of pendings is much higher due to short sales in the pipeline.

Colleen, we are not experiencing the high number of short sales I'm reading about in other areas.  Once we have an accepted contract here, we are required to change the MLS status to either pending or under contract.  Because we are dealing with an inventory of mostly older homes, once inspections are done, a significant number of them come back on the market.  I've learned not to get excited over pendings, because so many of them don't close.
