Today we're here with a quick market update on the third quarter in 2015.

Overall, September's numbers look pretty good. There was a little dip in the number of closed units from 2014 to 2015. Last year we had 289 closed units, and this year we had 266 closed units, which is about an 8% decrease.

On the other hand, the number of pending transactions is up 12% from October of 2014. Last year we had 277 pending transactions, and this October saw 308 pending transactions. This is a good barometer of what our market will look like for the rest of the year.

Listings are also up from 300 new listings in 2014 to 413 new listings this year, which means there are a lot of good options out there for buyers to look at right now.

The average sales price in Lafayette is also up from $221,400 in 2014 to $227,900 this year, which is a good increase in home value.

Overall, our market is very strong. We have 4.2 months of inventory on the market for buyers to look at, and interest rates are still strong at around 4%. Some lenders are even able to get a 3.8% rate on 30 year fixed loans, FHA, VA, and rural development loans. Our preferred partners are very aggressive on getting low interest rates and low closing costs.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to give us a call or send us an email. We would be happy to help you!

testimonials from happy clients

Sara - "I really enjoyed everything about my home buying experience. Robbie made everything easy. He was so professional and has great market knowledge. Every interaction was so amazing that there’s not one thing I would change."

Katie - "We looked all over for a home and found one with Robbie Breaux & Team. It was a really great experience! After the inspection, any problems we had he would send someone over to fix it with no questions asked. It was really helpful and we appreciated it!"

Drew - "Originally we had our house on the market with another Realtor for about 8 months with no results. We decided to lower the price and put it on the market as for sale by owner, which was a nightmare, and still had no results. After contacting Robbie, we felt very comfortable with him and he gave us a list of things we needed to do in order to sell our home. We did everything and on the first day back on the market we had 2 offers, both for full price. He hit a grand slam so I had a great experience with Robbie!"

Crystal - "They were really great. They did everything for us and was always there when I called or texted. They were always available whenever I had a question."

Melba - "The Robbie Breaux Team really kept me informed and it was a great experience. I actually had a couple of houses that fell through, nothing to do with the team but because I had been dragging my feet. They continuously found me more houses to look at which I really appreciated!"

Missy - "Our agent checked on everything for us. We lived about 3 hours out of where we bought the home and she would go over and take pictures to check on the progress of the home we were building. Any time we had questions, whether it was before hours or after hours, I could always count on an answer. They just went way above and beyond what was expected."

Frankie - "He sold my house and then were able to get me a new home very quickly. Robbie did everything above and beyond. He’s a good friend of mine and he did everything we asked of him and probably more than he had to in order to help us deal with our move and both of our real estate transactions."

Kimberly - "We had tried selling our home 3 times prior to working with Robbie and he had it sold within 2 weeks! We were thrilled! We had moved to Houston and the house we were selling was in Lafayette so everything had to be done over the phone or over one visit. We actually did paperwork so that he would be our power of attorney so we didn’t have to make the trip back when the house sold. He took care of all the paperwork and everything for us, which we really appreciated."

Chuck - "Everything was really good. We got our house sold in 3 days so we were pretty happy about that. We had to wait a little while to show our house so everyone on his team was very patient and did a good job. Robbie was very good with negotiating and getting things down quickly."

Ricky - "I’ve known Robbie for a while because he and my daughter are good friends. He sold a house for her so I decided to work with him. They responded to all my requests for open houses and pictures and he was also proactive at the end of the sale. I am very appreciative of all his help!"

Greg - "We had good results when we worked with Robbie Breaux and his team. They helped and gave us ideas and hints on how to make the house more appealing for curb appeal. It was a little touch up there, a little touch up here. Fix this, fix that, and I did most of it myself and it worked! The house was turned over pretty quickly!"

Kevin - "He sold my house fast, and he was able to help me find a house fast. He made it a seamless transition. He was very flexible. Even if it was after hours, he was always willing to meet us at any time. That was very helpful with our schedules."

Boyer - "We worked with them for about two and a half months. We were able to purchase a home that worked out well for us. Both my wife and I have hectic schedules and a small child. They were incredibly flexible with their schedules in order to help with ours, and that was much appreciated."

Bonnie - "My house sold to the first viewer. His team helped stage my home, and I think that’s why it sold so fast. He stayed in touch with me, and his team helped me with things over the computer that I wasn’t real familiar with, like e-signing. They were really accommodating and easy to work with!"

Laurie - "We had thirty days to sell our house, and we sold it in two and a half weeks! Everyone on the team was awesome, but I especially appreciated the work Amber did. I had a lot of questions, and she definitely went above and beyond by answering them all. Everything went well."

Candy & Gerald -"Whenever we wanted to look at a house, or if we needed to talk to our realtor on the phone, she was there! And I was touched that after we bought a house they gave us a gift card and a little present as a thank you for working with them."

Connie -"Everything went well! While we were moving Robin helped us sort out some minor issues, even though the house was already sold!"

Karl -"We purchased a home we wanted very much! Our realtor, Laurie Kramer was very professional. She kept us informed any way she could. Text, emails, calls, we always knew what was going on and at what point we were in the process."
