Solds In Rolling Meadows from 1/2010 to 11/30/2010 revealed:
Average Sales Price: $141,767
Average Sold Price Per Sq. Ft.: $103/sf
Median Sold Price: $139,900
Number of Sales: 3
Average Number of Days On Market: 110 Days
Low To High: $135,500 to $149,900

THE CHART BELOW SHOWS A “COOLING” OF THE VERY HIGH POST HURRICANE KATRINA SALES PRICE, A DROP FROM $108.32/SF TO $103.04/SF, WHICH IS HEALTHY FOR THIS “First Time Homebuyer Market where $157,500 was just too much to pay for housing! It was thought that the new Juban Parc Junior High School directly across from Rolling Meadows was going to “raise” home values but that doesn’t appear to have taken place based on 2010 home sales numbers, which is a relief for those wanting to buy into Rolling Meadows. And, the 1 MLS Listing in Rolling Meadows at $155,000 has been on the market since 4/6/2010 starting out at $158,500 facing strong buyer resistance at that very high pricing.

Denham Springs Juban Parc Home Appraisers: Juban Parc building, principal brand new

http://www.jubanparcappraiser.com/ – Denham Springs Juban Parc Home Appraisers: Juban Parc building, principal brand new

Faimon A. Roberts, with The Advocate newspaper, has a report on the new Juban Parc Junior High School Principal and new building. The article is located here and a snippet is below:

liv+principal+92310“DENHAM SPRINGS — The first impression one gets upon entering Juban Parc Junior High School in southern Denham Springs is newness.

The building looks new, feels new, it even smells new. And it should. Juban Parc Junior High opened this fall, welcoming more than 500 students to its pristine campus on Brown Road.

That newness goes right to the top with Principal Jeff Frizell.

Though this is the first principal job for Frizell, his connection to Livingston Parish schools stretches back a ways.

He has been working in parish schools since receiving his bachelor’s degree from Southeastern Louisiana University in the mid-90’s, moving into administration after earning his master’s, also from SLU, in 2006. Before coming to Juban Parc, Frizell was an assistant principal at Denham Springs High School.

The principal then, Kelly Jones, said Frizell showed immediate promise.”

Livingston Parish Sees Higher Priced Homes Decline In Sales Volume and Pricing

http://www.denhamspringslarealestate.net/ – Livingston Parish Sees Higher Priced Homes Decline In Sales Volume and Pricing!

livingston parish homes real estate

According to Tom Cook and the Baton Rouge Business Report Weekly this week,

The largest increase in the volume of sales took place in Livingston Parish in the $100,000 to $150,000 price range. From March 2008 to February 2009, there were 107 sales in this price range. From March 2009 to February, there were 221 sales in this price range. This represents an increase of 106%. Homes in the $200,000 to $250,000 price range decreased in volume by nearly 9% from March 2009 to February. Home sales in the $200,000 to $250,000 price range fell 22% from March 2008 to February 2009.

Denham Springs high end summary

 

This is one point I fully agree with and see in this market. The Denham Springs and Walker markets from $200,000 to $300,000, where new home pricing is above $115/sf, have been way oversupplied for at least the past year. This is one of the reasons that Juban Parc became the “New Juban Parc” because Denham Springs isn’t really a higher end housing market. In fact, since 4/2009, only 13% of home sales have been above $200,000. The developers and builders both expected too high of potential sales prices in the western Livingston Parish market, especially in the Walker market. This could be one reason that Autumn Run is being finished out by Vicknair Builders.

82 Competing Listings Is An OverSupply!

Currently in the GBRAR MLS, there are 82 competing listings in this price range. The search parameters were: $200,000 to $300,000, 1600sf to 3000sf, Ages New to 4-5 Years Old, Extracted on 4/14/2010.
