http://www.batonrougerealestateappraisers.net/ – Why Are Baton Rouge Bankruptcy Home Appraisals Needed During Bankuptcy?

The Coyle Group Philly Appraisal Blog has written an interesting article on residential bankruptcy appraisals I wanted to share with Greater Baton Rouge residents. The link to this article is: Why is an appraisal needed during Bankruptcy?

Mr. Coyle states, “During bankruptcy the debtor (the person or entity defaulting) is required by the court to demonstrate the worth of their assets. Since the debtor’s real estate holdings are, oftentimes, their largest asset a real estate appraisal is required.”

If you need a local Greater Baton Rouge Home Appraisal for Bankruptcy purposes, call Accurate Valuations Group at 225-293-1500 or Click the Order An Appraisal button here or above, fill the order out and send it in and we’ll be in touch very soon. Thank you, Bill Cobb, Appraiser

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.

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!

http://batonrougerealestateappraisers.net/ – Lil Boosie Baton Rouge Home To Be Auctioned Off, Photos In Centurion Place

According to online news sources, the East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff’s Office has announced that it will sell the rapper’s home for failure to pay a $375,000 writ on the home owed to Flagstar Bank. Lil Boosie, real name Torence Hatch, remains imprisoned awaiting his murder trial. This home was purchased in 10/2007 for $547,731, which at that time was an incredibly high price for a home in Centurion Place. Before Boosie paid $547,731 for this home, it had been on the market for 473 days, which should have been an indication this home was greatly overpriced. Currently in GBRMLS, this home was listed for $499,000 on 9/16/2010, reduced to $399,000 on 2/15/2011 and was pending as of 3/4/2011 after 170 days on the market. I guess that since this home has been pending now for over 2 months, the East Baton Rouge Parish authorities don’t see an indication that this home will close in time for the auction, not exactly sure.

The red arrow below might be Lil Boosie’s blinged out car in the front of his home.

One local Real Estate Agent desribed this home this way,

“Spectacular home offering something for everyone. The unique floor plan offers options for just about everyone with its multifunctional floor plan. Upon entering the home you’ll be impressed with the huge doors leading to the beautiful foyer area with formal dining to the right and a study/living room to the left. A private entrance from the study into a large bedroom complimented with a luxurious bath features a Jacuzzi tub and oversized shower creating a fabulous split bedroom arrangement or could function as a separate living area for a parent, etc. It also affords an entry into the great room as does front foyer. You’ll be wowed by the beautiful oak flooring in the den, dining and sitting areas as well as the double sided FP which can be enjoyed from the kitchen/breakfast area as well. Varied ceiling heights, solid wood doors, glass transoms, brick wall in kitchen, granite counters, oversize island, wine cooler, gas stove, solid red oak cabinets w/raised panels, an enviable master suite w/a huge walk-in closet, an adjoining office/nursery, master bath w/6′ Jacuzzi tub, oversize shower w/rainfall shower head, custom his/her porcelain sinks w/furniture style vanities. A 3rd bedroom w/a guest bath is also on the 1st floor. The 2nd floor features 635 feet in an L-shaped bonus area. There is also an 19×30 media room complete with theatre lighting. 2 more bedrooms on the 2nd floor. Home engineered to ensure quiet areas throughout. There is much more–have to see to enjoy this one.“
