Let’s put these foreclosure numbers into perspective! In 2009, there were a total of 122 sales. 6 foreclosure sales in 2009 represents only 5% of total sales. In 2010, there have been a total of 115 sales. 8 foreclosure sales in 2010 as of 10/16/2010 represents only 7% of total sales. The projected number of reo / fore closures at end of 2010 is approximately 11.

There’s A Major “Caveat” with the numbers below! Based on a 7% REO sold rate, which does appear to be an indication REOs are only moderately negatively impacting this market. It’s also stated here that an article (The Landmines Within by Michael Tarabotto http://activerain.com/blogsview/930436/The-Landmines-Within ) stated that as much as 70% of REOs never make it into the MLS – Meaning that it might be impossible to know or state the exact # of competing REOs if they’re not being listed and that the foreclosure problem could be larger if up to 70% of REOs aren’t being listed. MLS is reporting 4 current REO listings for all West Baton Rouge MLS Area 70 out of a total 114 total listings. So, 4% of all West Baton Rouge MLS Listings are Foreclosures!

REO is “Real Estate Owned”!
