shreveport real estate: Condo vs. Townhome - 06/17/13 05:58 AM

Most people use the terms condo and townhouse interchangeably. But is there a difference between the two? And if so, is it that big a deal? Well, although these two types of homes seem similar there are a few subtle, and not so subtle, differences. 
First off, there is the condominium, a term that commonly brings to mind a rental property on a beach somewhere for vacationers or high up in the Rockies for recreational skiers. But a condo is more than just that. In Latin "condominium" means "common ownership" or "common control" according to Courtney Ronan of realtytimes.com. That definition is probably … (2 comments)

shreveport real estate: Shreveport Real Estate Market Statistics for May 2013 - 06/05/13 04:39 AM
So far this year the housing market in Shreveport has been a buyers' market, for the most part. For thosewho are not in the real estate biz and may not understand what that means, here goes in non-realtor lingo: a buyer's market is one in which there is a seeming plethora of homes for sale and the buyers in that area basically get their pick. 

However, in April things slowed down a bit, leveling Shreveport real estate into a pretty neutral market. And as April turned to May, the story remained the same. The market stats for the greater Shreveport area for … (2 comments)

shreveport real estate: Make Your Shreveport-Bossier Home Sell Faster: Part 1 - 05/21/13 05:07 AM
There always seems to be that one home in the neighborhood that stays on the market forever. The for sale sign becomes a fixture in the yard, almost like a reminder that the endeavor to sell the home has been a failure thus far. Why do some homes sell lightning fast while others take seemingly forever to nab a buyer? Although it could very well be that the price of the home and the actual home value don't match up, it could also be a number of factors contributing to the non-sale.
But there are some practical steps that homeowners can take to … (0 comments)

April housing market statistics are in. Things have been looking up for Shreveport real estate since the beginning of 2013, and last month the story was no different. Early this year the market favored buyers because the amount of homes for sale in Shreveport and Bossier City area was greater than the amount of people looking to buy. But now however the market has leveled out into a neutral zone where buyers and sellers alike are on an even playing field.

And compared to the same month in 2012, Shreveport … (1 comments)

shreveport real estate: Current Market Statistics for Shreveport Real Estate - 03/22/13 02:43 AM
 

 
It is not an unknown fact that the housing market fluctuates often. And in recent years it seems that everything concerning buying or selling a house was negative. But now, there has been a shift, and the homes for sale in the Shreveport area have become part of a buyer’s market. This simply means that there are more sellers than buyers, and this results in lower prices on homes due to the abundant supply and scant demand. Shreveport real estate is in big supply currently, and it is the perfect time to buy a home.
