http://www.denhamspringsappraisers.com/ – Denham Springs Certified Real Estate Appraisers: Late 2010 Rolling Meadows Subdivision Update, Market Pricing Correction!

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

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.

Number of Sold REO/Foreclosures Noted In MLS: 0
Current # Listings: 1, 0 Are Foreclosures
Current Listings Price: $155,000

http://www.denhamspringsappraisers.com/ – Denham Springs Real Estate Appraisers: Why do some houses sit on the market while others sell?

Here’s an interesting video by Jay Papasan, an executive of Keller Williams Realty. We see “Jay” on the month “This Month In Real Estate US: November 2010″ videos on YouTube. In this video, Mr. Papasan explains why some houses just sit there on the market while others sell, which is an appropriate topic for locals now that the expiration of the Federal tax credit means a lot homes locally are just sitting.

I thought his explanations were helpful explanations. The visual displays of these concepts of his x/y axis were helpful as well.

I’m curious to hear the experience of both home owners and real estate agents as to what if Mr. Papasan is explaining is reality locally? Any ideas on what it would take for homes to sell faster? Are locals just waiting for a bottom before buying or is there something more going on in their psyche – more of a concern about what’s taking in Washington, DC than a concern for the Baton Rouge economy maybe?

You can follow Jay Papasan on Twitter at @jaypapasan, and on Facebook @ http://www.facebook.com/jaypapasan . Mr. Papasan is also coauthor of The Millionaire Real Estate Agent, The Millionaire Real Estate Investor & SHIFT.

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:

“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.”

Accurate Valuations Group’s “MARKET WRAP”:

NUMBER OF HOME SALES DECLINES. Based on these numbers, home sales are slowing considerably from 120 in August 2009, 109 in June 2010, 83 in July 2010 to just 56 in August 2010, a decline of -53% since August 2009.

LOCAL HOUSING INVENTORY SWELLS. With the number of home sales declining, this resulted in an increase to over 14 months of inventory. The good news is that in August, it still took an average days on the market of 92 days to sell a home.

MEDIAN SALES PRICE DECLINE. The median sales price declined sharply from $152,500 in August 2009, $149,000 in June 2010, $155,000 in July 2010 to just $140,900 in August 2010, a decline of -7.6% since August 2009. This shows that this market continues to favor the more affordable housing options over that of the higher end homes market. Area home builders have reacted and are building smaller homes to accomodate this market demand.

WHY WE USE MEDIAN SALES PRICE OVER AVERAGE SALES PRICE? NOTE: Why Median Sales Price is a better indicator than Average Sales Price! Median Sales Price is the barometer by which the National Association of Realtors uses to report on national housing markets. Average Sales Price tends to take all of the home sales prices from the lowest, say $50,000, to the highest, say $1,000,000, and state the average of them all, sometimes skewing the numbers because of the extreme highs and lows. Median Sales Price tends to focus more on the middle of where the bulk of home sales prices are taking place. Generally, the Average Sales Price is going to be higher because it includes the extreme high sales prices in a given market.

http://www.denhamspringslarealestate.net/ – The Importance of Denham Springs Curb Appeal When Selling Your Home!

Baton Rouge Real Estate Agent, Glenda Daughety, had published a helpful article on the importance of Curb Appeal with some tips on how to improve your curb appeal to sell that home. Read her entire article here: The Importance of Curb Appeal. Buzz is providing a couple of snippets from her article:

“Most potential homebuyers make a decision about a house within the first 30 seconds. For example, simply driving by a well-kept single family home for sale in the Baton Rouge, Prairieville, Denham Springs Louisiana areas is often enough to cause people to pull over and make an immediate call to their realtor. That’s because an inviting exterior promises an inviting interior.”

Tips To Look Out For

“Look out for:

Visible mold or mildew on the house, roof, or sidewalks
Outdated exteriors
Yard clutter
Dirty gutters, siding, or windows
Chipped paint
How your home appears at dusk or even at night
Overgrowth in the yard or on the sidewalks
Dead plants or leaf piles
Overly personalized doormats”
