Home On Ronda Avenue

Average Sales Price: $157,950 ($144,967 in 2009)
Average Sold Price Per Sq. Ft.: $96.79/sf ($89.87/sf in 2009)
Median Sold Price: $157,950 ($149,900 in 2009)
Number of “MLS” Sales: 2 (3 in 2009)
Average Number of Days On Market: 37 (233 in 2009)
Low To High: $156,000 to $159,900
Number of Sold REO/Foreclosures Noted In MLS: 0
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 South Point Subdivision Least and Most Expensive Home Sales In 2010
http://www.southpointappraiser.com/ – Denham Springs South Point Subdivision Least and Most Expensive Home Sales In 2010
It’s almost the halfway mark into 2010, June. So far into 2010, what were the lowest and highest home sales prices? In South Point in 2010, there have been 19 sales from $120,200 up to $198,500.
LOWEST HOME SALES PRICE IN SOUTH POINT IN 2010
The lowest sales price was at 23938 Teakwood Dr, a home I inspected for an REO or Foreclosure Appraisal. This home sold 2/19/2010 for $120,200 or $81.77/sf. It has 1,470sf living area with 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms.

HIGHEST HOME SALES PRICE IN SOUTH POINT IN 2010
The highest sales price was at 23750 Rosemont Dr. This home sold 5/28/2010 for $198,500 or $81.42/sf, the price reported in MLS (see corrected price below). It has 2,438sf living area with 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and an expensive “Gunite” swimming pool. NOTE: The seller paid $6,000 in concessions or had to pay the buyer $6,000 to buy their home from them. Because the seller received $6,000 less at the closing table than $198,500, the actual sales price that an appraiser will use is $198,500 minus $6,000 for $192,500 or $78.96/sf. The GBRAR MLS reports gross sales price without correctly and automatically deducting seller paid concessions. However, appraisers do deduct seller paid concessions and now FHA is very wisely implementing new rules to strictly limit seller paid concessions on their deals.



How is the Baton Rouge Real Estate Westdale Terrace 70808 Market Performing in 2010?
http://www.batonrougehomeappraisal.com/ – How is the Baton Rouge Real Estate Westdale Terrace 70808 Market Performing in 2010?
I recently performed a “Pre-Listing” home appraisal in Baton Rouge’s Westdale Terrace and the homeowner was saying what a bad time in the local real estate market to be trying to sell a home. I was scratching my head wondering if this homeowner had been watching the CBS News and applying what’s taking place in the national housing market to the local Baton Rouge Real Estate market, which would be a mistake. So, on May 10, 2010, I ran the numbers in the GBRAR MLS based on similar slab homes in Zip Codes 70806 and 70808, 1400sf to 1800sf, 3 bedrooms and with a 3 miles of Westdale Terrace. The results are below.


What I found is that YES, the median sales price is down -3.62% since February 2009 when the median sales price was $191,957, now $185,000. However, since May 2009 when the median sales price was $176,000, the February 2010 median sales price is $185,000, which is a +5.1% increase! YES, the last competing sales in this market were in February 2010, which shows a “stable market” and / or slower home sales. Also, within Westdale Terrace, homes are remaining on the market longer, which could also be too high of priced listings.
