coldwell banker shreveport: Shreveport Homes Market Analysis, April 2009
- 05/11/09 08:31 AM
Comparing the absorption rates for Shreveport and Bossier City single family homes, statistics show favorable numbers for sellers. There were 43 fewer homes sold this April compared to 2008. However, there were 239 fewer homes listed for sale this April compared to last April. What does this mean? Simply that there is a 6 month supply of homes on the market, and that figure has not changed to any significant degree since last year.

coldwell banker shreveport: Time for Prime Bird Watching in Ellerbe Road Estates
- 04/06/09 06:47 AM

coldwell banker shreveport: Spring in Shreveport - Festivals and Happenings 2009
- 02/25/09 08:35 AM
We have some great festivals in and around the Shreveport area. I've previously written about theRed River Revel. It rolls around every year at the beginning of October and in my mind is associated with cooler weather, food, and art.

That has come and gone for this year, but that doesn't mean all the fun is over. Here is a list of festivals coming up in Shreveport, Bossier City and other towns across northwest Louisiana. … (2 comments)
