Baton Rouge FHA Appraisers
Does a garbage disposal have to work for a Greater Baton Rouge FHA loan?
01/23/2011 | 
Author http://www.homeappraisalsbatonrouge.com/ – Does a garbage disposal have to work for a Greater Baton Rouge FHA loan?
As a State Certified Home Appraiser in Louisiana and FHA/HUD approved appraiser since 1996, I can validate that FHA Home Loans have strict requirements of operational mechanical systems placed upon the home appraiser to inspect and verify. While home appraisers aren’t necessarily “home inspectors”, FHA home appraisers are required to verify that mechanical systems are functioning properly and that they would appear to have a reasonable life left.
HUD or FHA Home Appraisers are expected to be well versed on 2 major manual plus keeping up the “Mortgagee Letters” that offer amendments and updates to HUD policy. In fact, the statement many lenders want placed in reports is, “Condition: Overall Condition is: Average. No major repairs or functional inadequacies. MEETS FHA/RD MINIMUM STANDARDS for existing dwellings as outlined in HUD Handbooks 4150.2 and 4905.1 Requirements and all applicable Mortgage Letters). SFR Dwelling was determined to be decent, safe and sanitary. Subject is connected to public or community sewer. Mechanical Systems were on and operational. Attic was inspected and appears to individually meet FHA requirements.” No, the lenders don’t tell us to use “Average” but to state a condition rating. And, FMHA or Rural Development and VA loans also have these same requirements as well.
So, can a inoperable garbage disposal hold up an FHA loan closing until repaired? There are four (4) national HUD HOC’s or Homeownership Centers in the U.S.. For Louisiana, the HUD HOC is located in Denver, CO. I called the Denver HOC Appraiser Tech Support Department at 1-800-543-9378 for a verifiable answer to this question. I spoke with “Gary” and he said that NO, the inoperable garbage disposal WILL NOT HOLD UP A CLOSING because FHA doesn’t require appliances to be installed in homes. Gary said that includes Range/Ovens, Dishwashers or Garbage Disposals. Gary said that this is a “condition” issue and that FHA appraisers should apply deductions to the subject property if the comps used have appliances and superior functioning appliances.
BEFORE YOU BUY THAT HOME, GET A HOME INSPECTION!
In the early 2000′s with FHA’s introduction of the HUD Form “HUD-92564-CN” For Your Protection: Get A Home Inspection, FHA made the distinction between the home appraiser and the home inspector and strongly recommended home buyers obtain a home inspection. This appraiser also recommends you obtain a home inspection as well to know the true condition of mechanical system and a more accurate remaining economic life. Home appraisers are fairly limited on their knowledge of such systems but home inspectors are trained to know these systems and know them very well.
Just remember that if you as a home buyer receive notice that there are FHA mandated repairs on the home being purchased, know that this is for your benefit and that generally the seller will be required to repair these items prior to closing.

http://www.batonrougehomeappraisal.com/ – Greenwell Springs Central LA Appraisers: Bellingrath Lakes Sudivision 2010 Price Trends Wrap Up!
Overall, there were nine (9) 2010 sales which brought the median sales price higher than 2009′s $304,400 and higher than 2008′s $294,500. In 2010 as compared to 2009, the Average Sales Price has declined 7.8%, Median Sales Price increased 3.5% and Average Sold Price Per Sq. Ft. declined $4.48/sf. There is one (1) foreclosure noted on Lake Stream Drive. And, that unfinished home that sat vacant for about 1 year or more was sold in 2010 for $148,000, an MLS sale, and is being finished. NOTE: If you are considering purchasing a home in Bellingrath Lakes and don’t want to pay too much, I would advise one to order a “Pre-Purchase Appraisal” from Accurate Valuations Group as there are at least two (2) current listings in Bellingrath Lakes well above market support.

Baton Rouge Housing Trends: Sherwood Forest Median Sales Price Up 9.7% In 2010!
http://www.batonrougemarketmetrics.com/ – Baton Rouge Housing Trends: How Did Sherwood Forest Finish 2010? Sherwood Forest Median Sales Price Increases by 9.7% In 2010! And, this increase was somewhat subdued by the reported 11 GBRMLS foreclosure sales in Sherwood Forest in 2010.
Sherwood Forest Subdivision is possibly the second largest housing development within the Baton Rouge housing market. An indepth examination of the Sherwood Forest Housing Trends can tell us a great deal about the overall Baton Rouge Housing Market!
Solds In Sherwood Forest Subdivision from 1/1/2010 to 12/31/2010 revealed:
Average Sales Price: $183,400 ($171,976 in 2009 or +6.6%)
Avg Sold $ Per Sq. Ft.: $74.91/sf ($73.35/sf in 2009 +2.1%)
Median Sold Price: $181,000 ($165,000 in 2009 +9.7%)
Number of “MLS” Sales: 52 (87 in 2009)
Average Number of Days On Market: 133 (126 in 2009)
Low To High: $75,000 to $342,000
Number of Sold REO/Foreclosures Noted In MLS: 11
Current # Listings: 57, 5 Foreclosures, 2 Short Sales
Current Listings Prices: $99,000 to $319,987 or $43/sf to $102/sf.
Recap: In 2010 as compared to 2009, the Average Sales Price increased by 6.6%, Median Sales Price increased by 9.7% and Average Sold Price Per Sq. Ft. increased by 2.1% or +$1.56/sf. The number of home sales were down from 87 in 2009 to 52 in 2010, down 40%, which is the same trend for the Baton Rouge home sales in general post Federal Tax Credit Expiration. But also note that the 2009 home sales of 87 could have been artificially propped up because the Federal Tax Credit was in place in 2009.
Hurricane Gustav Effect. I still believe that Hurricane Gustav applied a pschological punch to the Broadmoor and Sherwood Forest Markets after September 2008. The tree damage was enormous and in some cases it took up to two weeks to get utilities restored. It was a hot, humid and miserable two weeks for local residents, emotionally draining. In 2008, the median sales price was $175,000 based on 88 sales (high because of sales in earlier 2008 prior to the Hurricane), but then in 2009, the median sales price dropped 5.7% down to $165,000 based on 87 2009 sales. 2010 was the recovery year for home prices!
Oversupply Problem. There is still generally an oversupply of “58″ current MLS listings and that doesn’t include the many FSBO Listings. And, some listings are overpriced in this market….listings priced at $102/sf in Sherwood Forest in very high considering that the average buyer only paid $74.91/sf in 2010. If you’re considering a purchase of a Sherwood Forest home where the listing price is above $74.91/sf, I would strongly recommend a Pre-Purchase Home Appraisal from Accurate Valuations Group to ensure you don’t overpay in this older market. However, this oversupply problem has persisted since after Hurricane Gustav and the market hasn’t seem to mind dealing with this situation – hasn’t discounted this market because of the ample supply.
Foreclosures Are A Part Of The Baton Rouge Housing Market! While 2010 was the recovery year for home prices in Sherwood Forest, it was also a year for locals to deal with a significant foreclosure and short sale situation! Part of these are from those who purchased temporary Hurricane Katrina housing. I’m working on an appraisal right now where the New Orleans residents with a large family purchased 2 homes in Sherwood Forest on the same street and one of those homes in heading toward foreclosure.
According to GBRMLS, there were 11 GBRMLS reported foreclosure sales in 2010. Currently, according to GBRMLS, there are 5 foreclosure listings and 2 short sale listings. So, foreclosures are still a significant part of the Baton Rouge Housing Market! These 7 distressed listings in comparison to the 52 total sales in Sherwood Forest in 2010 make up 13% of that total.

Baton Rouge Housing: Merrydale Subdivisions Market Update For 2010 in 70812
http://www.batonrougemarketmetrics.com/ – Baton Rouge Housing: Merrydale Subdivisions Market Update For 2010 in 70812
I recently completed a home appraisal assignment on Summer Drive in Merrydale Subdivision on an average 1,000sf home, in really nice condition, for this subdivision and noticed these observations. Actually, I’m reporting on ALL of the subdivisions in the Merrydale area state that “Merrydale” in this subdivision name. There appears to be some decline due to REO or foreclosure activity.
Solds In The Merrydale Subdivisions from 1/1/2010 to 12/16/2010 revealed:
Average Sales Price: $65,733 ($63,500 in 2009)
Average Sold Price Per Sq. Ft.: $54/sf ($61/sf in 2009)
Median Sold Price: $63,500 ($87,450 in 2009)
Number of Sales: 6 (14 in 2009)
Average Number of Days On Market: 76 (52 in 2009)
Low To High: $26,900 to $103,500
Number of Sold REO/Foreclosures Noted In MLS: 3
Current # Listings: 4, 0 Are Foreclosures
Current Listings Prices: $69,900 To $115,500
The 6 sales in 2010 versus the 14 in 2009 reflect the current stalling of this market post Federal Tax Credit Expiration. Without the tax credit, there doesn’t appear to be as much incentive to purchase a home. This slowdown in homes sales in a trend throughout the Baton Rouge housing market in latter 2010.
NOTE: Based on information from the Greater Baton Rouge Association of REALTORS®\MLS for the period of January 1, 2009 to December 16, 2010. This information was extracted on 12/16/2010.

Baton Rouge Housing Trends: 2010 PMI Study Shows Moderate Risk, 40 Percent Chance Of Home Price Declines
http://www.batonrougerealestatetrends.net/ – Baton Rouge Housing Trends: PMI Study Shows Moderate Risk, 40 Percent Chance Of Home Price Declines. That also means that there’s a 60% chance prices won’t decline. However, keep in mind this latest ranking is from Q2 2010 when the Federal Tax Credit was in operation. Now with the tax credit expiration, local home sales have slowed drastically and I expect in early 2011 when new PMI Group Baton Rouge numbers are released, they won’t be so favorable! Foreclosures are increasing locally and I’m hearing that some locals that need to sll are finally seeing that this isn’t the housing market of 2007 anymore and are beginning to lower their asking prices.
This graph below indicates that the four Parishes that make up Greater Baton Rouge are in the 30 to 50% risk category, meaning that there’s a 30% to 50% chance of lower home prices in the next 2 years.
This chart below indicates that the actual Baton Rouge ranking is 40.5% risk category, meaning that there’s a 40.5% chance of lower home prices in the next 2 years.
This chart below indicates that in 2009, Baton Rouge had a lower chance of price appreciation and in 2010, there was more of a chance of price stability.
