Pending home sales jumped up again in Acadiana and Lafayette parish, and with an ever shrinking inventory, it means that there are plenty of frustrated buyers on the sidelines who cannot find what they are looking for.
Last January, we only had 525 home sales pending in Acadiana and 355 in Lafayette parish. What a difference a year can make.
There were 197 homes sold in Lafayette parish last month compared to 139 in January 2012. In Acadiana, 283 homes sold last month and 220 in 2012. If this is any indication, 2013 will be a year to remember in real estate for Lafayette and Acadiana.
