The monthly amount of closed residential sales reported to the REALTOR Association of Acadiana’s Multiple Listing Service (MLS) continues to consistently outperform the months of 2011. The graph on the report vividly illustrates how significantly Lafayette Parish’s 2012 housing sales have grown throughout the year in relation to 2011. And where historically home sales tend to drop off in the latter part of the year, that was not the case in October with reported sales increasing nearly 7 percent above September’s numbers and up over 50% from October 2011. With 2007 considered the apex year for housing sales in Lafayette Parish, the 2,232 cumulative sales reported from January through October 2012 is only 3.5% off that record pace set in 2007 and up by nearly 24% over 2011.
This is GREAT NEWS for Lafayette!
