Home sales jumped for a second month in a row in April with 259 homes sold in Lafayette parish and 357 in all of Acadiana.
If we look at Lafayette Parish and compare home sales to those of last year, we can see that there were 100 more sales this year in April alone. Through the end of April, there were 597 sales in 2009 and 723 this year.
There are currently 672 homes pending in Acadiana and 471 in Lafayette parish. These numbers are very high for our area and can, no doubt, be attributed in part to the home buyer tax credit. It remains to be seen what will happen once the closing deadline for all those transaction passes at the end of June.
