http://www.batonrougerealestateappraisal.com/ - Baton Rouge Real Estate: Four Demographic Trends That Will Affect Greater Baton Rouge Housing
Realtor.org and and The Urban Land Institute are reporting on 4 demographic trends that will affect Greater Baton Rouge Housing! Their short article is located here and is quoted below.
“4 Demographic Trends That Will Affect Housing
A new report from the Urban Land Institute predicts two major changes in the U.S. housing market as we began a new decade.
Home appreciation will slow considerably to about 1 percent to 2 percent annually.
The current U.S. homeownership rate, now at 67 percent (which is down from a record high of 69 percent), will fall further to about 62 percent.
4 Major Demographic Trends
The report also cites four major U.S. demographic trends that will have a major impact on housing.
1. Aging baby boomers (ages 55 to 64 years old): They will keep working, and many will be forced to stay in their suburban homes until values recover. Those who are able to move will choose mixed-age living environments that cater to active lifestyles. Walkable suburban town centers also will appeal to this group.
2. Younger baby boomers (46 to 54 years old): They are now entering their prime earning years but they will lack home equity and unlike the older members of their generation, they won’t be able to purchase second homes. This will likely curb the prospects for the second-home market.
3. Generation Y: They are larger than the baby boom generation (with a population of about 86 million). As they enter the housing market, they are less interested in homeownership than their parents were when they were young adults. “They will be renters by necessity or choice for years ahead,” says John K. McIlwain, author of the report.
4. Immigrants – both legal and illegal: They are nearly 40 million strong. They often prefer multi-generational households and if they can afford them, larger homes in neighborhoods with a strong sense of community.

http://www.denhamspringsappraisers.com/ - Walker Louisiana Has A New eNews Digest Online Presence
Here’s two post to the new eNews Digest:
“2009: A terrific new beginning in Walker
It’s hard to believe a whole year has passed us by. I’m very proud of everything this community has accomplished working together during my first year in office. Walker has grown in so many ways – and not just in size. We have a new atmosphere of transparency, participation and collaboration in government. We have initiated multiple beautification projects, including planting more than 4,000 trees and shrubberies along La. 447. We have expanded cultural and recreational opportunities for families. We have forged stronger relationships among Walker’s business leaders. We have infused government with some fiscal responsibility. And we are hard at work on infrastructure, including additional drainage improvements, upgrades to water and sewer systems and roadway expansions. Look for details about what we accomplished in our upcoming Annual Report, which will be available on our website in late January. But there is much more to come in 2010. I thank all those who are working so hard to make Walker the wonderful community that it is, and I look forward to all that the coming year has in store for us.

We really love Livingston Parish
Science has finally discovered something we’ve known for quite some time: People who live in Livingston Parish love Livingston Parish. Southeastern Louisiana University’s Social Science Research Center has just finished a study of the five Florida Parishes. As it turns out, those who live in this parish are more satisfied with their quality of life than residents of St. Tammany, Tangipahoa, Washington and St. Helena. A whopping three quarters of those who took part in the study said they were satisfied or very satisfied – the highest score of all the parishes. Nearly half of the respondents in the survey said they believe our quality of life is better or much better than it was three years ago. And more than half said they believe the quality of life will get even better in the next three years. Livingston residents also gave their fire and police protection and emergency preparedness fairly high scores, but did express serious concerns about traffic safety and management. Livingston also scored high marks in child care services, health care and parks and recreation.”

http://www.southpointappraiser.com/ - Denham Springs FHA Appraiser Report: Per MLS Data, South Point Subdivision Foreclosure Rate Appears To Be Rising!
The MLS Data Chart Below Shows That From 1/1/2007 to 12/31/2009, there were 7 REO or Foreclosure Sales out of 187 total sales, or a 3.74% foreclosure rate.
Per MLS Records, A 3.74% REO Rate doesn’t appear to be an indication that REOs are negatively impacting this market.
HOWEVER, It’s also stated here that a 2009 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. MLS is reporting TWO (2) comparable REO listings. However, since it’s possible that 70% of REOs and/or Sheriff Sales never make it into the MLS System, it’s almost impossible to know exactly how many competing REOs there really are out there. Clearly, the only way to know the exact number of sold foreclosures in South Point since 1/1/2007 is to sift through the Legal News records, which would take hours to accomplish.
In The Map Below, Realtytrac.com is showing 11 Current Foreclosures (Pre-Foreclosures, Sheriff Sales, Bank Owned) on Teakwood Dr, Springhill Dr (2 Properties), Sandlewood Ct, Rosemont Ave, South Point Dr (2 Properties), Wellington Ave, S Park Ln, Snowdon Ave and Sunny Brook Ln. This is a higher rate than South Point has experienced in the past. 11 Current Foreclosures helps validate the point made above. While MLS is only reporting 2 current MLS REO listings, there are actually 11 or 5.5 times more than MLS is reporting.
