Westwego, Avondale and Bridge City LA - Number of Homes Sold October 2008
I was pleased to see that the big jump in recorded sales for September was not just an anomaly, since it continued into October. This increase puts Westwego, Avondale and Bridge City on track to surpass the number of homes sold in 2007, a rarity on the West Bank this year. While not setting any record sales numbers, the real estate market is stable in the area.
Westwego, Avondale and Bridge City LA - Average Home Sale Prices October 2008
At the same time that the number of homes sold took a jump, the average selling price continued the gradual decline we have been watching since April 2008.
Month to month variations are to be expected since they are dependant upon a small sample of sales, but the year to date sales information shows that the average home in zip code 70094 is selling for around 7% less than last year.
All data compiled from GSREIN and is deemed reliable, but not guaranteed.
