We Buy Vacant Lots in Gretna — Just Like This One

At Home Buyer Louisiana, we’re best known for buying houses in as-is condition across Louisiana. But did you know we also buy vacant land and lots? Whether it’s a property that’s been cleared after a demolition or raw land with no improvements, we’re ready to make a cash offer.

A Recent Example in Gretna, Jefferson Parish

We recently closed on a vacant lot in Gretna, located in Jefferson Parish. Originally, the property had a house on it, but the structure was ultimately demolished. The sellers — who happen to be local investors and part of our extended network — had purchased the property with plans to renovate it.

Unfortunately, once they got into the project, they realized the house wasn’t salvageable. A full demolition became necessary, turning their intended rehab into a new construction opportunity. But new construction wasn’t what they had signed up for — it required more time, money, and energy than they were willing to invest.

That’s where we stepped in.

Helping Sellers Move On

The owners reached out to us looking for a simple solution. They didn’t want to deal with building a new house, managing contractors, or navigating permits. They just wanted to sell the lot fast for cash and move on — and that’s exactly what we helped them do.

We made them a fair cash offer, handled the closing process, and helped them exit the deal quickly and easily. While the situation didn’t go as planned for them, they were relieved to be able to walk away and focus on other opportunities.

We Buy Land, Not Just Houses

This deal is a great example of what we do. While many of our purchases involve distressed homes or rental properties, we also buy:

• Vacant lots (like this one)

• Land with tear-down structures

• Unfinished new construction

• Properties tied up in probate or succession

If you own land or a house that you no longer want to deal with — even if it needs major repairs or demolition — we’re interested.

Where We Buy

We purchase properties throughout Louisiana, with a special focus on:

• Greater New Orleans

• Baton Rouge

• Lafayette

• North Shore

• Mississippi Gulf Coast

Hey guys, Aussie Steve here from Home Buyer Louisiana. We buy houses in any condition throughout Louisiana. Today, I’m standing at what used to be a house — but now it’s a vacant lot. That’s right, we also buy land and vacant lots, not just houses.

I’m here in Gretna, located in Jefferson Parish, and this particular property used to have a house on it. Unfortunately, it had to be torn down. The owner is actually someone we know — they’re an investor like us and part of our local network.

They had originally purchased the property with the intention of rehabbing the house. But once they got into it, they realized it wasn’t viable and ended up having to demolish the building. That completely changed the scope of the project. What was supposed to be a simple rehab became a new construction opportunity — and that just wasn’t what they had signed up for.

They didn’t want to spend the time, money, or energy on building a new house. So, they reached out to us to sell the property for cash and move on. We were able to make an offer that worked for them and help them exit the project quickly.

It’s unfortunate that things didn’t go according to their original plan, but they were still able to get out of the deal and keep moving forward — and that’s what we’re here to do: help people find solutions and move on when a property becomes a burden.

So, if you have land you’re looking to sell — or a house in any condition — get in touch. We buy all kinds of properties, including homes that need work, rentals, vacant lots, and more.

We operate all over Louisiana, but our key focus areas are Greater New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Lafayette, and parts of Mississippi near the Louisiana coast.
