The short article in response to Stephanie’s question about how’s the market in Richmond Place Subdivision in Watson. Well, as the chart below indicates, after Hurricane Katrina, there was an increase in home prices up to $88.81/sf and $164,000 median sales price. Chart shows correction in 2011 and 2012 down to $82/sf and $142,000 median sales price. This dive could also be related for foreclosure sales taking place in Richmond Place as well.

However, currently, there are 10 listings in Richmond Place, 5 active listings with average price per square foot of $85 and 5 pending listings with average price per square foot of $89. The pendings at $89/sf don’t necessarily mean they will close at $89 and frankly, I’d be shocked if they sold that high with current support at $82.32/sf based on 9 sales in 2012 in Richmond Place. A Home Appraiser would have to totally ignore the precedence set in 2012 of the 9 sales to appraise a home at $89/sf. And, the listing prices at $89/sf were certainly reaching for prices far above current support.
