Baton Rouge Real Estate Home Sales: Highs and Lows For September 7, 2010

September 10, 2010 in Denham Springs Real Estate News, Livingston Parish Real Estate News by http://www.southpointappraiser.com | No comments

http://www.batonrougerealestatebuzz.com/ – Baton Rouge Real Estate Home Sales: Highs and Lows For September 7, 2010

Rebekah Allen, with the Baton Rouge Business Report, has an update on Baton Rouge home sales as published on September 7, 2010 and quoted below:

SU-Juban Parc-4“After several months of hoping that the worst had passed in the fragile housing market, the real estate industry experienced record-breaking lows in July.

Experts blamed the historic decrease on the expiration of the homebuyer tax credit and mounting evidence that the economy isn’t ready to rebound.

According to the National Association of Realtors, existing home sales in July dropped 25.5% from the previous year. New home sales plummeted 32.4% from the previous year.

br businessreportThe Capital Region was not immune to the downward trend. July home sales dropped 24.4% in East Baton Rouge Parish from the previous year, 30.6% in Ascension Parish, 25.4% in Livingston Parish and 45.8% in the other parishes, including Iberville, West Baton Rouge, and East and West Feliciana.

But there was some good news, particularly in the neighboring parishes.

Home sales for the first seven months of this year have increased 11.6% in Ascension over the same time period one year ago, 17.3% in Livingston and 33.9% in the other parishes. East Baton Rouge Parish, however, has reported a 6.3% decrease.

Ashley Greer, team leader for Keller Williams Realty in Denham Springs, says her location has seen 38% more business this year than last, and she’s confident that the momentum will continue through the rest of 2010.

“We’re just one exit outside of Baton Rouge,” she says. “You get all of the amenities of a big city without having to pay as much for it.”

Greer adds that home-owners are attracted to the strong school system in Livingston.

“Livingston schools are continuing to build. We have some of the best schools, so parents don’t have to send their kids to private schools,” she says. “Everything we’ve increased our tax dollars to pay for is paying off.”

Appraiser Bill Cobb says Livingston Parish is attracting buyers with affordable price points. He says the bulk of new home sales occurred in the $120,000 to $169,900 range.

The average sale price in July was $197,076 in the Capital Region, down from $203,735 one year ago.

“Builders keep asking, ‘When is the market coming back?’ which is the wrong question,” Cobb says. “The right question should be, ‘How can I deliver a product that locals can better afford?’”—Rebekah Allen”

August 2010 U.S. Home Sales Plunge To 15-Year Low, How Does Baton Rouge Housing Compare?

August 24, 2010 in Denham Springs Real Estate News, Livingston Parish Real Estate News by http://www.southpointappraiser.com | No comments

http://www.batonrougerealestatebuzz.com/ – August 2010 U.S. Home Sales Plunge To 15-Year Low, How Does Baton Rouge Housing Compare?

baton-rouge -real-estateThe Baton Rouge Business Report is reporting on a National Assocation of Realtors housing study and I quote: “Sales of previously occupied homes fell to the lowest level in 15 years last month as the economy weakened. The National Association of Realtors says July’s sales fell by more than 27% to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 3.83 million. It was the largest monthly drop on records dating back to 1968. June’s sales pace was revised downward to 5.26 million. Home sales picked up in the spring when the government was offering tax credits. But the market has struggled since the tax credits expired on April 30. It would take 12.5 months to sell off the 4 million unsold homes on the market at the current sales pace. The median sale price was $182,600, up 0.7 percent from a year ago.”

While the NAR study covers the entire U.S., how does the local Baton Rouge housing sales numbers compare? The answer is that I see a similar trend. Within the Greater Baton Rouge Association of Realtors data extracted from 1999 through August 24, 2010, covering almost 12 total years, for all of East Baton Rouge Parish itself, the lowest yearly rate of home sales has been in 2010 with 2,032 year-to-date. If this pace of home sales continues, 2010 projections will total 3,048 sales, the lowest within the 12 year period.

What about a monthly sales numbers comparison? This comparison leads to the same conclusion. The two lowest monthly housing sales periods in East Baton Rouge since our MLS began tracking the numbers in 1999 have taken place in 2010, see chart.
