Denham Springs Listings: Livingston Trace Subdivision 2011 Report

Denham Springs Home Appraisers — Thu, 05 May 2011 06:11:02 +0000

http://www.denhamspringsappraisers.com/ – Denham Springs Listings Services: Livingston Trace Subdivision 2011 Report. Accurate Valuations Group East recently completed a home appraisal in Livingston Trace and found these interesting housing numbers.

Livingston Trace is a local DR Horton development that has a history of the homes selling predominantly higher in price than some other competing developments, such as South Point, Woodland Crossing and Westminister Estates. It appears to be a newer and much smaller development with one entrance and the development and homes are well maintained.

2011 Shows Some Strength and Some Weakness!

A recent home appraisal in and analysis of Livingston Trace Subdivision revealed thes interesting findings.

2011. In 2011, there haven’t been any GBRMLS home sales reported. There are 10 active MLS listings and 3 FSBOBR.com listings for a total of 13 listings. The 10 MLS listings are from $145,000 up to $175,900. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. Of the 10 Listings, 6 have an Average Active Listing Price of $157,017 or $100.48/sf while 4 have an Average Pending Price of $165,450 or $87.31/sf. The 3 FSBOBR.com listings are listed from $145,000, $175,000 and $195,000. Remember that above we stated the four pendings average $87.31/sf? Well, the Average Sold Price in 2010 was $93.57/sf. $93.57/sf minus $87.31/sf is a decline of -$6.26/sf. We don’t know

2010. The MLS Chart below shows no 2011 sales and 6 2010 sales with a Median Sales Price of $176,200. However, the last MLS sale in 2010 took place on 5/28/2010, almost 1 year ago. With 13 total listings in 5/2011 and only 4 of them pending, it’s safe to assume that prices have declined as demand for housing has decreased. See the SMART chart below for proof of these statements.

The SMART MLS Analysis of the “Sub-Market” or those homes in MLS comparable to a 1,998sf comparable home did show a -7.6% DECLINE since May 2010, which is somewhat contradicatory to the above MLS trends chart. This decline is due to some foreclosures taking place in the comparable South Point, Woodland Crossing, Westminister Place and Forest Ridge Subdivisions. It will be interesting to see at what prices these four pending homes sell for in Livingston Trace. The current Listing-To-Sales-Price-Ratio in this study was 96%, down from 100% and 99% in months past.

Denham Springs Home Appraisers: Summerfied Sudivision 2010 Price Trends Report!

Denham Springs Home Appraisers — Sun, 16 Jan 2011 03:01:24 +0000

http://www.denhamspringsappraisers.com/ – Denham Springs Home Appraisers: Summerfield Sudivision 2010 Price Trends Report!

NOTE: If you are considering purchasing a home in Summerfield Subdivision and don’t want to pay too much, I would advise one to order a “Pre-Purchase Appraisal” from Accurate Valuations Group as there is a gradual and steady decline of home prices in Summerfield since 2007 meaning one shouldn’t overpay for a home in Summerfield. REO or Foreclosure and Short Sales activity is increasing in Summerfield in 2010 and into 2011 as this appraiser just this week appraised a foreclosure on Summerfield Drive.

And, there is one (1) listing in Summerfield that is now pending and the listing history of this home brings the declining home prices to my attention. This is a nice 1,813sf home in good condition now listed at $170,000. This home was originally listed for $209,900 in 7/2010 and reduced to $199,900, $195,000, $189,000, $185,000 and now $170,000. It took 148 days on the market to sell this home. If this home sells for $170,000 for an 1,813sf, that would be a new benchmark low for 1813sf in this market. YES, this is a “Short Sale”, however, the market didn’t want this home at these high listing prices whether a short sale or not!

Solds In Summerfield Subdivision from 1/1/2010 to 12/31/2010 revealed:

Average Sales Price: $192,380 ($216,500 in 2009)
Avg Sold $ Per Sq. Ft.: $98.58/sf ($101.11/sf in 2009)
Median Sold Price: $189,500 ($208,000 in 2009)
Number of “MLS” Sales: 5 (4 in 2009)
Average Number of Days On Market: 103 (154 in 2009)
Low To High: $168,000 to $221,500 or $82/sf to $109/sf
Number of Sold REO/Foreclosures Noted In MLS: 1
Current # Listings: 1, 0 Are Foreclosures
Current Listings Price: $170,000 or $93.77/sf.

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 1/10/2011. Yes, this appraiser has obtained permission from GBRAR MLS to use the above pricing chart!
