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!

Advanced CVR Housing Market Valuation Reports Available Now in Greater Baton Rouge

The Future of Home Valuation Advanced CVR Housing Market Valuation Reports Available Now in Greater Baton Rouge

(Press Release) – Mar 22, 2011 – The Future of Home Valuation
Advanced CVR Housing Market Valuation Reports Available Now in Greater Baton Rouge

BATON ROUGE, LA – March 22, 2011 – A local businessman recently completed two days of hands-on training to bring a service that is being hailed as “the future of home valuation” to the Greater Baton Rouge area.

The product is called Certified Valuation Report – or CVR. Bill Cobb with Accurate Valuations Group is the region’s only certified home appraiser to offer this exciting new service to area residents following a weekend of dedicated training in San Antonio, Texas.

The Collateral Valuation Report (CVR) is a desktop application program that is capable of valuing properties as accurately as a Uniform Residential Appraisal Report (URAR), and can be delivered to customers in about 24 hours. This report is designed to be completed by a certified appraiser who has local area knowledge of the neighborhood.

CVR integrates public records, multiple listing services (MLS), flood, imagery and other relevant data directly to the report. In addition, the appraiser can define the neighborhood and use the most sophisticated analytics available. Adjustments are supported, comparable sales and listing are ranked and scored and ultimately, all of the data is available for an appraiser to interactively provide the most supportable valuation solution. The CVR is an affordable valuation solution. Better than a Broker Price Opinion (BPO), less than a URAR.

“In my 20 years of professional experience in this area, I have to say that this is one of the most exciting products that has come along in quite some time,” Cobb says. “The CVR valuation can provide sellers with the competitive edge they need to price a home for a quick sale. In a tight lending market, it can also be the information a homeowner needs that can mean the difference between getting a needed loan or equity line of credit – or not.

“As the area’s only certified CVR professional, I am excited to offer this valued-added service to our customers and it is just one more example of how Accurate Valuations Group provides our clients with outstanding customer service.”
