Prairieville Home Appraisals Reports On Les Chenier Subdivision 2011
04/23/2011 | 
Author http://www.facebook.com/ascrebuzz – Prairieville Home Appraisals Reports On Les Chenier Subdivision 2011. So far, only one (1) home sale in 2011, a foreclosure for $155,000.
I had a local real estate agent contact me last week asking for a update on Les Chenier Subdivision as there really hasn’t been much home sales activity in this development, but a development that has experienced some REO or foreclosure activity.
This development has puzzled me for several years as to how it climbed so high in home prices after Hurricane Katrina for these smaller homes. The Median Sales Prices from 2005 to 2010 climbed and then rightfully so corrected from $167,000, $186,000, $191,000, $195,250, $193,500, $180,000 and now one (1) distressed sale in 2011 for $155,000. It would appear that the $193,500 to $195,000 price range is high for Les Chenier, or about $117/sf. I’m just not sure that over $117/sf is really sustainable for Les Chenier interior lots (those homes not fronting McCrory Rd 1). And, I just posted a video report about the housing price corrections taking place in in this immediate market here: Ascension Parish Home Appraiser Charting Of Declining Housing Market 2008-2011
Total # 2010 Sales: 7
Average Sales Price: $191,964
Median Sales Price: $180,000
Average Sold Price: $111.60/sf
Average List To Sale Price Ratio: 98%
Average Days On Market: 85
FORECLOSURES.
Regarding REOs, 1 2010 sale was an REO and the 1 2011 sale was an REO or Real Estate Owned. According to Legal News, there have been 3 REO sales since 1/2010 being Lots 25, 29 & 90.
CURRENT LISTINGS: ZERO FORECLOSURES!
There are currently 6 listings from $179,900 up to $210,900 or $114/sf up to $126/sf, which some are priced high and certainly not priced according to the correction in home prices taking place in this market. In fact, if one examines the 2007 to 2009 highs in the market on that chart above, the average sold prices per sq. ft. were $116.51/sf, $119.53/sf and $115.38/sf. So, why in 2011, when the market isn’t as strong, are there homes listed above the previous highs, homes listed at $120/sf, $125/sf, $126/sf and $126/sf? Of all 6 listings, all are Active and none are Pending.

Prairieville Real Estate Appraisers: Fountain Hill Subdivision 2010 Price Trends
http://www.ascensionrealestateappraisers.com/ – Prairieville Real Estate Appraisers: Fountain Hill Subdivision 2010 Price Trends.
Overall there really isn’t much to report on in 2010. Per GBRAR MLS, there was only 1 2010 sale (and only 1 MLS sale in 2009) in Fountain Hill Subdivision for $383,000 on 8/31/2010 for 3,625sf. This home sold for $105.66/sf as a foreclosure. The photo of this home is directly below. The bank took this home back for a mortgage balance of $344,000 and still sold it for a substantial profit in this market. This appraiser has performed two (2) foreclosure appraisals in Fountain Hill Subdivision in 2010.
My search of 2010 Legal News for Fountain Hill Subdivision also revealed another foreclosure for $246,666 in March 2010. Also per Legal News, there was a lot sale for $79,000 for Lot 60 in 12/2010.
The trend is looking up for 2011 for Fountain Hill Subdivision with one (1) 2011 sale for $450,000 for only 3,184sf or $141.33/sf. Given the past 2.5 years of lackluster and foreclosure activity within Fountain Hill, this was a very, very high sales price for Fountain Hill specificially and shows strength within the Prairieville market. It’s also note here that this was a “Cash Sale” where an appraisal may or may not have been procured to know the true value. This home was on the market for a total of 668 days in two (2) seperate MLS listings. In any event, this is a positive for Fountain Hill, for Northern Ascension Parish and for the Prairieville market in general.
NOTE: Based on information from the Greater Baton Rouge Association of REALTORS®\MLS for the period of January 1, 2009 to December 31, 2010. This information was extracted on 1/11/2011. Yes, this appraiser has obtained permission from GBRAR MLS to use the above pricing chart!

Home On Ronda Avenue
Solds In Ronda Place Subdivision from 1/2010 to 12/31/2010 revealed:
Average Sales Price: $157,950 ($144,967 in 2009)
Average Sold Price Per Sq. Ft.: $96.79/sf ($89.87/sf in 2009)

Current # Listings: 2, 1 Is A Foreclosure $116,900
Current Listings Prices: $116,900 to $199,900 or $75/sf to $81/sf.
The $116,900 listing on Aimee Drive has 1,566sf living area. The $199,900 lisitng is “contingent” or under contract with the buyer’s home waiting to sell and has 2,472sf living area.
LEGAL NEWS REPORTS 4 SALES. For Ronda Place Subdivision, Legal News reports four (4) total sales, two (2) FSBO Sales. Legal News reports that 17254 Eric Dr sold for $165,000 in February 2010. MLS history reports this home has 1,616sf 6/3/2 built in 1982 with a large 25×22 Workshop. So, this home sold for $102.10/sf.
Legal News also reports a sale of one of the smaller garden homes fronting Hwy 929 for $121,500 in November 2010, Lot 67-B. MLS History states this home to be 17230 La Hwy 929 having 1,200sf with 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom and last sold for $99,900 in 12/2005. So, this home sold for $101.25/sf approximately. I use the word “approximately” because MLS uses the even “1200″ sf, meaning that the home might not even have been measured for the listing, which is a disturbing trend I’m seeing more of in Greater Baton Rouge Real Estate.
This is the Foreclosure Listing on Aimee Drive!

Denham Springs Certified Home Appraisers: 2010 Rolling Meadows Finally Returns To A More Affordable Market!
http://www.denhamspringsappraisers.com/ – Denham Springs Certified Real Estate Appraisers: Late 2010 Rolling Meadows Subdivision Update, Market Pricing Correction!
Solds In Rolling Meadows from 1/2010 to 11/30/2010 revealed:
Average Sales Price: $141,767
Average Sold Price Per Sq. Ft.: $103/sf
Median Sold Price: $139,900
Number of Sales: 3
Average Number of Days On Market: 110 Days
Low To High: $135,500 to $149,900
THE CHART BELOW SHOWS A “COOLING” OF THE VERY HIGH POST HURRICANE KATRINA SALES PRICE, A DROP FROM $108.32/SF TO $103.04/SF, WHICH IS HEALTHY FOR THIS “First Time Homebuyer Market where $157,500 was just too much to pay for housing! It was thought that the new Juban Parc Junior High School directly across from Rolling Meadows was going to “raise” home values but that doesn’t appear to have taken place based on 2010 home sales numbers, which is a relief for those wanting to buy into Rolling Meadows. And, the 1 MLS Listing in Rolling Meadows at $155,000 has been on the market since 4/6/2010 starting out at $158,500 facing strong buyer resistance at that very high pricing.
Number of Sold REO/Foreclosures Noted In MLS: 0
