About New Orleans' Midcity

August 3 marked the National Night Out Against Crime. I wish we didn't need to have events such as these, but I'm glad it was a success throughout the metro New Orleans area. Here's a couple pics from our small patch, the Fairgrounds Traingle neighborhood...

Lots of great food (including some mighty spicy Jumbalaya!) and lots of great neighbors!

No less than three groups of law enforcement found our gathering and stopped in to say "hi"!

Are you considering buying property in New Orleans? There are a myriad of things to consider while making your decision on whether you should purchase or not. I just found a fantastic website that may help you make up your mind! Take a look at the Housing Market Facts site.

Here are a few of the home ownership benefits that the site lays out:

1. First-time Home Buyer tax credit - Up to $8,000 in tax credits!
2. Capital gains exclusions if you have lived in your home for at least 2 of the last 5 years.
3. Homeowners may be able to deduct mortgage interest and property taxes as an expense against income.

ON South Broad, between Canal and Tulane there is a silent revolution of major consequence...one by one, two by two there is a radical transformation happening...properties are very hot...being bought/sold/renovated at a rate never seen before on this major corridor...and the Federal rebuilding monies are not even here yet.

The best value left on South Broad, (all the other one's sold in the last 3 months) is a 10,000 SF warehouse on 2 lots...for $200K! This is not my listing, but I cannot help but share the opportunity for wealth...for this is a great deal in a corridor on an extremely busy road.

Stay tuned for pictures of specific properties, with pictures...brand new buildings in an area of rapid growth in this great city.
