We had a beautiful RED Day 2012 in Lafayette, LA as Keller Williams associates from our office gave their time to Habitat for Humanity and went to work grouting tiles and painting trims.

RED Day (Renew, Energize, Donate) is a day every year when Keller Williams associates across North America give back to the communities where they live. You can read more about RED Day here.

Wonder how the real estate market is doing in Lafayette and Acadiana? It is doing really well these days. Home sales continue to climb as we move towards summer (already!).

While the rise of sales in the spring is somewhat typical, home sales this year surpass that of last year and even 2010. Between January and April this year, 763 homes sold in Lafayette parish compared to 637 for the same period last year and 723 in 2010.

And while home sales are rising steadily, our inventory has remained stable and some would argue on the low side. If you have any questions about the condition of our real estate market, ask me.

It’s here! The 2012 edition of the Festival International de Louisiane is this week (April 25-29) in downtown Lafayette, LA. And it looks like the weather will be awesome with highs in the low 80s!

I’ve been involved with Festival International for many years. I began by working security so I could get back stage with the bands I wanted to see. Then I became a presenter and introduced the bands. For the past 3 years, I have been a member of the Board of Directors and during Festival week, I am in charge of the golf carts used by our organization to put the Festival together. Volunteering for Festival is a lot of fun. If you would like to get involved, it is not too late. Visit the Festival International web site to sign up as a volunteer or to view this year’s schedule of events. Volunteers can also visit our Volunteer Center during Festival (it opens Wed. at 4pm).

Also, don’t forget to download your Festival App and buy a pin this weekend. The app is free and the pin is only $10 and it allows us to keep this great Festival free!

The home features 1995 square feet of living and a 15 X 20 workshop or man cave attached to the carport. While the inside could use cosmetic updates, it has nice features for a home its age. It has a split floor plan, roomy bathrooms and large kitchen/dinning/living area.

If you are looking for a home with a couple of acres at a reasonable price, this may be the property for you. Visit this page for more information and more photos about 268 Robert Dailey Rd in Sunset.

Over the years, as a Realtor, I’ve helped several of my clients find their own little piece of paradise like this. If you are looking for property with a pond or even river frontage, with or without a house, give me a call. I would love to help you find your own corner of heaven right here in Acadiana.
