Westbank Real Estate: The Last 60 Days in Marrero, Terrytown, Gretna, Westwego, Harvey & Belle Chasse

by Mark Hingle

If the Westbank were a gumbo, the last 60 days in real estate would be that perfect mix of spice, surprises, and a little bit of sass! Whether you call Marrero, Terrytown, Gretna, Westwego, Harvey, or Belle Chasse home—or you’re just Westbank-curious—here’s the scoop on what’s been cooking in the market lately.

Prices: Rising Like a Fresh Batch of Beignets
Home prices across the Westbank have been on a gentle rise, with most neighborhoods seeing a 2-4% bump compared to last year. Marrero and Harvey are leading the charge, while Belle Chasse continues to charm with its small-town vibe. The best part? You can still find a solid deal if you know where to look (and if you don’t mind a little wallpaper from 1978).

Inventory: Blink and You’ll Miss It!
Homes are selling faster than king cakes at a Mardi Gras parade. With inventory tight, sellers are enjoying quick offers—sometimes before the “For Sale” sign is even straight! Buyers, bring your running shoes and maybe a lucky rabbit’s foot.

Interest Rates: Doing the Two-Step
Interest rates have been doing their own dance lately—up, down, and back again. While they’re a bit higher than last year, lenders are getting creative, and deals are still happening. Think of it as a second line: you just have to find your rhythm!

Rental Market: Hotter Than a Summer Day on the Levee
Rentals are in high demand, especially in Gretna and Terrytown. If you’re a landlord, you’re likely fielding more calls than a Saints quarterback on game day. Renters, keep your eyes peeled and act fast!

Looking Ahead: Westbank’s Got Style (and Staying Power)
As we roll into fall, expect more listings and plenty of activity. The Westbank community spirit is strong, and there’s room for everyone—whether you’re looking for a starter home, a forever home, or just a place with a killer crawfish boil setup.

Thinking about making a move? Let’s chat! And remember: on the Westbank, you’re always just one bridge away from your next adventure.
