Baton Rouge Real Estate Appraisers: Why do some houses sit on the market while others sell?
http://www.batonrougerealestateappraisal.com/ – Baton Rouge Real Estate Appraisers: Why do some houses sit on the market while others sell?
Here’s an interesting video by Jay Papasan, an executive of Keller Williams Realty. We see “Jay” on the month “This Month In Real Estate US: November 2010″ videos on YouTube. In this video, Mr. Papasan explains why some houses just sit there on the market while others sell, which is an appropriate topic for locals now that the expiration of the Federal tax credit means a lot homes locally are just sitting.
I thought his explanations were helpful explanations. The visual displays of these concepts of his x/y axis were helpful as well.
I’m curious to hear the experience of both home owners and real estate agents as to what if Mr. Papasan is explaining is reality locally? Any ideas on what it would take for homes to sell faster? Are locals just waiting for a bottom before buying or is there something more going on in their psyche – more of a concern about what’s taking in Washington, DC than a concern for the Baton Rouge economy maybe?

Baton Rouge Real Estate Photos From The Field: Central Thruway Progress Photos
http://www.batonrougerealestateappraisal.com/ – Baton Rouge Real Estate Photos From The Field: Central Thruway Progress Photos As Of April 10, 2010
The last major news article I could locate on the Central Thruway project was on May 20, 2009 from The Advocate here! A snippet of the article stated:
“The work order was issued on Monday marking the start of a $9.6 million project to construct two large bridges for the Central Thruway, a city-parish official said.
The contract calls for contractor James Construction Group to build bridges over the railroad bridge and over Sullivan Bayou along the thruway route, city-parish Chief Construction Engineer Jose Alvarez said.
James Construction will have 600 days to complete the two bridges, Alvarez said.
City-parish officials are slated to hold a groundbreaking today for the project.
Another company, L&A Contracting, started work last year on the $23.8 million project to build bridges over Comite River and Beaver Bayou in that same area between Frenchtown Road and Florida Boulevard.”

B.R. Business Report & FACL: Baton Rouge Home Prices Down Slightly
http://www.batonrougerealestateappraisal.com/ – Baton Rouge Business Report & First American Core Logic: Baton Rouge Home Prices Down Slightly
(In this example above, this Baton Rouge Housing Market in 70815 has experienced more than just a slight decline in median sales price and an oversupply of competing housing. Parameters are the 1900sf to 2400sf living area size range)
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.”

Listing That Greater Baton Rouge Home? Leave The Tape Measure At Home And Pull Out Your iPhone!
http://www.batonrougerealestateappraisers.net/ – Listing That Greater Baton Rouge Home? Leave The Tape Measure At Home And Pull Out Your iPhone $0.99 App!
Commentary From Rob Jansen aka “Peanut” With John C. Jones Realtor:
“You know you hate it. You’re at a listing and fighting that measuring tape to go where you want it, how you want it, and stay in place. Agents meet the Sonar Ruler. This new iPhone App can measure distances of up to 60 feet by sending a short pulse (more like a clicking noise) to the wall of what-have-you and measuring how long it takes to return to the phone…and it’s pretty darn accurate. I wouldn’t measure inches with it by any means, but for measuring smaller rooms this inexpensive app allows you to get a very close estimation, which you’re more than likely going to round anyway. I still haven’t found a cheap solution for larger rooms, so you’ll probably still need your tape measure if the home’s got good sized living space, but for your typical bedrooms the Sonar Ruler iPhone App is just the ticket.”
