Slidell, Pearl River and Lacombe, LA, 3+ Year (2010 – 2013) Real Estate Home Sales Bar and Line Graphs

Slidell, Pearl River, and Lacombe, LA; 3 Year, Home Sales Line Graph, 2010 - 2013

Good afternoon, please find attached a bar graph and also a line graph representing the number of home sales for the Cities of Slidell, Pearl River, and Lacombe, on a month to month basis. Starting in January of 2012 and running consecutively though September 2013. As you can see by the graph, the volume of sales for Eastern St Tammany Parish has been fluctuating over previous years, though there are some signs of consistent annual improvement. The first quarter of each year for the last 3 years, the numbers have improved in each month. As well, except for a hiccup in August 2012, the 3 month period of July through September has also shown a similar 3 year trend upwards. To place it into a different perspective, it looks like, for a major part, the market has been slowly bouncing back over the last several years, however there has been some inconsistency as the market shows some signs it is still struggling. In my opinion, the most likely culprit has been the record number of bank owned homes for sale; which has been smothering the average resale market, especially for homes between 100 and 200K. Hopefully there will be better news in the future. Regardless we will continue to keep an eye on the numbers for you knowledge. Please contact us with any questions, we service all of St Tammany Parish.

Thank You

Covington, Abita Springs, and Folsom, LA; 3+ Year (2010 – 2013) Home Sales Line and Bar Graphs

October 5, 2013 by admin Leave a Comment

Good evening, attached is a bar graph and a line graph showing the volume / units of home sales for the Cities of Covington, Abita Springs, and Folsom, on a month to month basis. Beginning in January 2012 and running current though September 2013. As you can see by the graph, the volume of sales for the Covington area has been increasing over previous years. The lines are a little blurry for the years 2010 and 2011, however you can clearly see an increase for 2012 and again currently for 2013. This is welcome news for the local real estate market. Increased sales means reduced inventory which means higher property values. It does not happen overnight, especially with the flood of REO homes on the market, however if the trend continues there will be more appreciation of homeownership.

If you have any questions buying or selling your home in the Covington market, please don't hesitate.

Thank You

=====

66 homes sold in the Covington, Abita Springs, and Folsom area for the month of January 2013; which is a pretty significant decrease over the 79 homes sold during the previous month of December. However it is December to January, quite possibly the worst time of year to buy or sell a property…?
