Baton Rouge Real Estate: Greater Baton Rouge Foreclosures Were Low In 2009


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.”

The Link is Here! Here’s a snippet of from the report:

A new report says Baton Rouge home prices dropped 0.41% in August from the year before. First American Core Logic says the local Home Price Index was down from August 2008, after a 0.8% increase in July. That local decrease is much better than the 10.1% drop reported in First American’s national index in August. Louisiana’s index was down 3.9% during the month. First American predicts U.S. home prices will hit bottom in March, because of the increasing number of homes entering the foreclosure process and the expiration of a tax credit for first time homebuyers — although members of Congress are working to extend the credit into next year. By August 2010, First American projects the home price index will be up 4.6% nationally and 0.51% in Baton Rouge.”
