Gretna LA 70053 | Number of Homes Sold | October 2009

Gretna LA 70053 Home and Real Estate Sales

The year to date number of homes sold in Gretna as of October 2009 is 62, compared to 65 at the same time last year. Gretna is one of the only markets on the West Bank of New Orleans that has not had a dramatic drop in the number of home sales from 2008 to 2009.

Given the recent amount of activity in the community, I would anticipate that we will equal or exceed the number of homes sold in 2008. While it is not a return to pre-Katrina levels, it appears that the market is balancing out supply and demand.

Another Great Market Report - it is obvious that you are the local market expert and your communities are lucky to have you.  This just drives home my point that
