April wrote a great blog here on flyer boxes and the fact that many are always empty. It drives me crazy, too, when I pull up to a property and see that the box is empty. It’s just not good for business. Enjoy!

Home sales were slightly down in Lafayette Parish and Acadiana for November, which some would say is very typical for the season. Nevertheless, 167 homes sold in Lafayette Parish and 247 homes sold in Acadiana according to the Multiple Listing Service.

When compared to 2008, Lafayette home sales were better this year than they were last year.

There are currently 2137 homes on the market in all of Acadiana and 1166 in Lafayette Parish. A total of 289 homes are currently pending (under contract) in Lafayette Parish while 420 are pending in all of Acadiana.

Wonderful craftsman’s cottage with beautiful wood accents throughout and freshly painted inside. This cute home is located in what we commonly called “Free Town,” an area that borders the University of Louisiana at Lafayette campus and downtown.

This home features gorgeous wood floors exposed in one of the bedrooms and in the hall and hidden under carpet in the other rooms. The stucco exterior makes it easy to cool in the summer time and keeps it warm during our short winters.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

While the Free Town are is popular with investors (campus is so close), This home, built in 1938, has never been rented and has only had two owners.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

824 E. Vermilion features a little over 1000 square feet of living area, two bedrooms, one bath, and a separate dinning room. All of this on a huge lot (50X200) which includes a detached garage and a storage room/workshop.

The possibilities are endless and the price, $105,000, will certainly appeal to both investors and home buyers. The seller is also offering a one-year home warranty so don’t wait, make your appointment to see this one today!

Mike in Tucson posted these video clips on his blog and made me smile so I thought it was worth posting again. Smiles are contagious. What can you do today to make something fun?
