Algiers LA 70114 | Home Sales and Real Estate Market Reports

The 70114 zip code of Algiers started out the year with 7 single family homes sold, up from only 2 in January 2009, so it’s a nice start to 2010 after disappointing sales last year.  3 of the sales were in Algiers Point, while the other 4 were in various neighborhoods in the area.

The average days on market for homes sold in January was 80, while the average days on market for active listings is at 155.  This is a good indicator that some of the homes that have been on the market for awhile may be overpriced or in not so great condition.  If you are selling your home, you need to know your competition.  Find out what's going on in your West Bank neighborhood with this week's free market snapshot

Algiers LA 70114 | Home Sales and Real Estate Market Reports

The average sale price jumped up to $154,707 in January, mostly due to the number of homes sold in the Point, which always commands a higher price.

The split between conventional and cash sales tells me that there are very few entry level homes being sold in the area, which would more than likely be financed with FHA loans.  Instead, it appears that either investors or stronger buyers are the ones more interested in these properties.

A few more facts about January home sales:

  • 29% of the sales were of bank owned or foreclosure properties (compared to 33% across the West Bank)
  • 29% of sellers provided some type of closing cost assistance to the buyers
  • 14% of sellers paid for a home warranty for the purchasers

Lisa, I'm glad it appears that things are showing some improvement.  And interesting about the investors or stronger buyers making the purchases.  That has to say something about the future of the area too.
