- There were 319 homes that went pending in September. This is down 11.9% from the previous month but that represented 101% of all the new listings in September.
- The average amount of time a house stayed on the market in Lafayette parish was just 32 days. That’s up 12.5% from the previous month.
- The average sales price in September was $278,679. This is up 3.4% compared to September of last year.
- And the MLS reported 12% of the homes sold in September sold above list price and that is down 7% compared to September of last year. But this is well above average over the last decade.
- So why are buyers paying over list price when interest rates are rising and sales are slowing? It’s still a Seller’s Market! And we will most likely continue to see sales above list price at least until supply outpaces demand.
