The St. Tammany market is shifting. but sellers still have some leverage. 👀

As of September 19, East St. Tammany is at 4.9 months of inventory, while Northwest St. Tammany is at 4.6 months.

For context, 6 months of inventory is generally considered a balanced market. Below 6 months indicates a seller’s market, while above 6 months shifts toward a buyer’s market.

And just how quickly can things change?

At the beginning of April, East St. Tammany was at 5.7 months and Northwest St. Tammany was at 5.6 months.

Metairie is currently at 4 months, while Uptown & the Garden District are at 3.9 months.

The takeaway? Market conditions are constantly moving, and timing your sale strategically matters.

If you’re thinking about selling, let’s talk strategy & how we can position your home to make the most of the current market.

These are the kinds of messages I’m so grateful to receive. 🤍

These were some texts from my sellers, and they’re a reminder of why I love what I do. Being able to guide my clients through the process, help wherever I can, and know they felt supported along the way means so much to me.

I’m incredibly thankful for clients who trust me with such an important chapter and who take the time to share their appreciation. 🏡💬

Thinking about buying or selling? I’d love to help make the process a little easier for you, too. Let’s connect!

Another successful sale & a bittersweet goodbye! 🏡✨

: These sellers were referred to me several years ago when they were looking to purchase a property on the Northshore. We found the one, they made it home & now, a few years later, it was time for their next chapter.

When the time came to relocate, I had the privilege of helping them once again - this time, on the selling side! We successfully closed on their beautiful 5-acre homesite & officially handed the keys over to its new owners. 🔑

The Northshore is certainly losing a spectacular couple, but I’m so grateful I got to be part of both sides of their story. We will miss you guys & wish you nothing but the best on your next adventure! ❤️

Thinking about making a move? Whether you’re buying, selling or both, send me a message & let’s talk about what’s next!

🌟 J U S T S O L D! 🌟

Starting off this beautiful Monday with happy sellers!

This is all about the numbers. A friend referred their family to me to sell their late parents' home. We knew the home had some significant deficiencies before we even listed it and knew this property was going to need "the special buyer." I made sure my sellers were prepared ahead of time: we got a pre-listing inspection, quotes and then implemented a strong listing strategy.

Through:
- 1️⃣2️⃣2️⃣ showings in our 1️⃣1️⃣1️⃣ days on market: A record breaking amount of showings! That's an average of 1.09 showings per day!
- 1️⃣1️⃣0️⃣: number of times I forwarded the pre-inspection information to an interested party.
- 4️⃣ offers that didn't work out for various reasons related to financing and the condition of the property.
- Countless: phone calls and text inquires from fellow agents, online inquiries, or people who passed the property to inquire.

This activity from the market had proved our strategy was spot on AND then we finally got the right buyer!

Congratulations to my sellers and the buyers! And thank you to my sellers who had patience and trusted me to guide them through this arduous process - WE DID IT!

If you're looking to list, and have a unique property that needs a strong strategy to attract "the special buyer" - give me a call and let's talk!
