Gretna LA 70053 | Number of Homes Sold | September 2009

Gretna LA 70053 Real Estate and Home Sales Year to date, Gretna has seen 54 successful home sales, compared to 59 at the same time last year.  Not bad, when the majority of the West Bank has seen the number of sales drop substantially from 2008 to 2009.

The average Gretna home sold in September had 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, 1373 square feet of living area and was on the market for 46 days.  Homes priced right and in the best possible condition can still sell quickly!

The best news for Gretna is that the supply and demand of homes is in balance at this time.  That could change quickly if a large number of homes come on the market for sale, but for now it’s one of the most stable markets on the West Bank of New Orleans.

Gretna LA 70053 Real Estate and Home Sales

While the number of Gretna homes sold is holding fairly steady, the average sale price has dropped by 7% from 2008.  This is still not nearly as dramatic of a decrease as some other communities on the West Bank have experienced.  The first time home buyer tax credit is about to expire, so it will be interesting to see if the average prices increase or decrease when that option is no longer available.

Lee & Pamela, thank you!

Terry & Bonnie, I'm working on a report of how short sales and REOs are affecting prices now.  Will be interesting to compare 2008 to 2009.
