Declining Baton Rouge Real Estate Market Looks Like This and Why It Would Cause Low Appraisals
http://www.batonrougehousingreports.com/ - A Declining Baton Rouge Real Estate Market Looks Like This and Why It Would Cause Low Appraisals. YES, I understand this is long video of 10 minutes, but it will help explain what lenders and appraisers are looking for when they “both” analyze a market.

In this video, local Greater Baton Rouge Appraiser, Bill Cobb, shows what a classic declining market looks like by MLS Chart and Appraisal and how such a weak market could certainly lead to a low appraisal.
Remember that we’re speaking of a specific segment of the Baker housing market in the 1600sf to 2500sf living area range. This study isn’t of the entire Baker housing market, but some of the general comments in the video do apply to the whole market.

This weak Baker Louisiana market had these characteristics: Very Slow Sales. Declining Median Sales Price. 22 Month Supply. 21 Competing Listings Is Oversupply when only 15 sold in previous 12 months. 93% List-To-Sales Price Ratio is weak. 2011 Baker Hills 6 sales, Median $62K, Avg Sold:$52/sf, Avg SP/LP%:97%, Avg DOM:126 Days. 33% Competing REO Sold Rate Since 1/2009.

A Baton Rouge Home Appraisal In Kenilworth Subdivision 70808 in August 2011
http://www.baton-rouge-real-estate.com/ – A Baton Rouge Home Appraisal In Kenilworth Subdivision 70808 in August 2011

I recently completed a home appraisal in Kenilworth Subdivision 70808 for a refinance and discovered some housing trends on the chart below. No, none of the photos used in this article are of the home appraised.

The Median Sales Price in 2011, at $212,000, is about even with 2008′s $212,500. The Average Sold Price Per Square Foot in 2011, at $102/sf, is about even with 2007′s $102.46/sf. It seems from viewing the chart below that Kenilworth home prices have maintained stability in a correcting Baton Rouge housing market, per CoreLogic and 24/7 Wall Street recent studies. This is good news for Kenilworth Subdivision homeowners!

NOTE: Based on information from the Greater Baton Rouge Association of REALTORS®\MLS for the period of January 1, 2005 to August 15, 2011. This information was extracted on 08/15/2011. YES, this appraiser does have the permission of GBRMLS to use the chart above Subdivision Price Trends Report!
