Terrytown and Gretna LA 70056 | Real Estate and Home Sales

The bad news is that average home sale prices are down 5% from last year – and that’s really not so bad when compared to some of the other West Bank neighborhoods that have been hit hard. 

The good news is that unless you purchased your home in 2006-2008, you more than likely have built equity in it, just not at the same rate we saw in the early 2000s.

Homes that are priced right and in excellent condition continue to attract the most attention and sell faster than homes that need a little TLC.
