Local Realtor and Broker, Tony Zito, is reporting on February 2010 Housing Numbers Here: Tony Zito Baton Rouge Real Estate Update

According to Tony:

In the month of February there were 26 Percent less closings than there were in February 2009. This is the second month that sales were down more than 20 Percent. Let’s blame on the unusually clod weather and look ahead to better days as the temperatures warm up.

Here are the numbers:

Active listings for sale in the Greater Baton Rouge real estate market 3489, pending sales 932. I like seeing that number come up from the low 700’s in January. It’s been around 1000 for a long time.

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/ – Denham Springs Real Estate Appraisers: Livington Parish Gains 30,976 New Residents From 2000 to 2009

denham springs homes appraisers

The Ascension Weekly Citizen Online is reporting Ascension Parish is the fastest growing Parish in the State of Louisiana. Their article is posted here and here’s a snippet from their article:

Ascension Weekly Citizen

Ascension is the fastest growing parish in the state, according to estimates from the Louisiana Tech University College of Business.
Ascension Parish grew at a rate of 36.17 percent from the year 2000 to 2009, gaining 27,961 people, the Tech study said.

Louisiana on the whole grew just .52 during that time period.

Neighboring Livingston, another fast growing parish, grew by 33.74, and picked up 30,976 new residents.

“It’s not a surprise,” Ascension President Tommy Martinez said Friday. He said growth in Ascension is actually slowing down a bit at present, which is good because it will allow the parish to put a parishwide master plan into place and prepare for the next wave of growth.”


http://www.denhamspringsappraisers.com/ - Recommended Reading For Denham Springs Mortgage Lenders and Realtors On “Low Appraisals”. Article counters ‘Appraier Hit Pieces’ In Media: Patrick Egger “Closing The Gap Between Sales Price And Appraised Value” Article.

low appraisalsFrom Washington Appraiser, Dave Towne:

Appraisers……

Over the past couple of months, ‘negative press’ hit pieces have been circulating in major media and blogs about how ‘appraisers have caused a disruption in property sales’, erroneously attributed to the HVCC, since the economy went into the tank in 2008 and early 2009.

The attached 4 page PDF is an article written by Patrick Egger, Cert. Gen’l appraiser and appraiser educator from Las Vegas, which discusses why competent appraisers make decisions ‘we’ do regarding establishing an opinion of market value. I have met Patrick, and have taken a class from him.

PatrickPatrick has given me permission to distribute this article, and has told me you may distribute it to anyone you choose. Your mortgage lenders and real estate sales people buddies might like to see this so that they get a better understanding of what you do in analyzing market area sales used in your reports.

Be sure to save the PDF, and print it for your own review.
