Gretna LA 70053 | Number of Homes Sold | October 2009

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.

Gretna LA 70053 | Average Home Sale Prices | October 2009

The average price of homes sold in the City of Gretna in 2009 is now at $137,680, compared to $145,701 in 2008 (a decrease of 5.5%). Again, this is a better performance than many other areas of the West Bank, where some neighborhoods have experienced value drops of more than 20%.

That is what I am calling Monday November 30th. We have several closing on that day. Several first time home buyers have taken advantage of the Tax Credit. Many have not. My real concern is that the upcoming holiday may throw off someone closing.

If you did not take advantage of this tax saving not to worry a new plan is in place. Not as good in some measure but there is always a BUT. The (but) includes repeat home buyers.

To find out more about of the new tax credit, real estate inventory or about financing; email for information.

Audubon Trace, Townhomes or Condos? Its a great place to live!

Jefferson Parish

The Audubon Trace Condos are located in Old Jefferson between Jefferson Highway and the Mississippi River Levee. They are townhouse condos. Town homes are the particular style of home and condos mean common areas and maintenance are shared. This is not your typical apartment conversion to condos but rather a designed community of attached townhouses with plenty of common grounds. Its a little different lifestyle over your typical condo in Jefferson.

The townhouses are spread out over 15 acres with townhouses spread out in units of 8-10 condos. Almost all are two bedroom townhouse style unit. The townhouse style is where the bedrooms are up or down.type of condos. The larger units do have garages but parking is very easy and plentiful.

What you do not get at Audubon Trace is the normal apartment feel of being on top of your neighborhoods like so many condo complexes in Metairie. You have plenty of room for walking the pets as well as yourself. If you like being out doors Jefferson Playground and tennis courts are right out the back gate. There is a large playground, full size track, and the Mississippi River long a favorite of bicyclers and Rollerblades. There two large pools on the grounds of Audubon Trace Condos for residents.

Prices will be from 175k-200k for the most common floor plans. These will be units from 1250-1400 sq. ft. of living. These will have open parking. The prices will vary depending on the style of the unit, square footage and the amount of updates that have been done. They are almost 25 years old so almost all the units will have varying degrees of updates.

The Audubon Trace Townhouse Condos will have some some sort of private outdoor area for your own plants and outdoor furniture. The condo association is very strong. Its staff of workers do a very nice job of maintaining the exterior of the units and the common areas. The two swimming pools, large amount of trees, shrubs and grass make it its own special neighborhood. That why you have many long time residents!
