The Advocate Newspaper and Chad Calder are reporting “BR-area home sales see gain in March“, click on the link to read the entire article. Below is a snippet:
“The number of homes sold in the Baton Rouge metro area rose slightly in March, though the first quarter was down 2 percent.
The March bright spot is largely due to an increase in Ascension Parish.
The figures, compiled by the Greater Baton Rouge Association of Realtors, account for about 85 percent of the market in the eight-parish area.
Realtors sold 600 homes in the metro area in March, 1 percent more than the 594 sold in the same month last year. Dollar volume in March was up 2 percent to $118.0 million.
The quarter, however, still reflects the downward trend that has characterized recent years. There were 1,406 homes sold during the first three months of the year, compared to 1,431 the year before.
Dollar volume was also down 2 percent to $270.3 million for the quarter.“

http://www.accuratevg.com/ - Baton Rouge Real Estate: Greater Baton Rouge Foreclosures Were Low In 2009
In a one paragraph report, the Baton Rouge Business Report is reporting the following:
“The 2009 foreclosure rate in Baton Rouge ranks among the lowest 25% for U.S. metro areas, according to a new report. Baton Rouge had the 157th highest foreclosure rate among 203 U.S. cities, according to RealtyTrac, which follows the market for seized homes. One out of 121 homes in the Capital Region was involved in the foreclosure process in 2009, a 139% jump from the year before. RealtyTrac warns the actual increase may be due to improvements or changes in reporting techniques. Three other Louisiana cities had lower foreclosure rates than Baton Rouge: Shreveport was ranked 163rd, with one foreclosure per 140 homes; Lafayette was 170th, with one foreclosure per 183 homes; and Houma-Thibodaux was 193rd, with one foreclosure per 363 households. Nationally, the foreclosure rate averaged one for every 45 households. Las Vegas and Fort Myers, Fla., were the two weakest markets, with one out of every 8 homeowners facing foreclosure during 2009.”
