Algiers LA 70114 | Number of Homes Sold | September 2009

Year to date, there have been 58 successful single family home sales in the 70114 zip code of Algiers, compared to 89 at the same time last year. This decrease of 35% is one of the largest on the West Bank, making Algiers the hardest hit areas for declining home sales. While reduced sales in Algiers Point have had an impact, the condition of properties being sold is also an issue, with a substantial number of homes in Poor, Fair and Average condition being marketed.

A large percentage of the 2009 sales in the area have been to cash buyers, and a review of those sales indicates that a large number of them are to investors and buyers who are willing to take on a fixer-upper. It remains to be seen if these properties will come back on the market as renovations or if they are being held as rental units and personal residences.

Algiers LA 70114 | Average Home Sale Price | September 2009

Prices have taken a hit as well – they are down 14% from 2008. Although much of this can be attributed to fewer sales in Algiers Point, which typically has the highest priced real estate in the zip code, the large percentage of homes in need of repair is pushing prices downward as well. If you are considering selling your Algiers home, be sure that your agent is pricing it to compete with other homes in the same condition rather than just using the average sale price.
