http://www.batonrougerealestatebuzz.com/ – Baton Rouge Real Estate Buzz: February 2010 Housing Numbers Are In!
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.
Sold
February 2010-310
February 2009-418
February 2008-449
February 2007-625
February 2006-737
February 2005-562
February 2004-575“

http://www.batonrougerealestateappraisal.com/ – Baton Rouge Real Estate Appraisers: NAR Says January 2010 U.S. Home Sales Fall 7.2 Percent
The Source Is Baton Rouge Business Report. The Baton Rouge Business Report Is Dispensing Information From The National Association Of Realtors Regarding January Home Sales, see below. AND NOTE, This decline is despite efforts by our Federal Government to offer the $8,000 Tax Credit, which was supposed to help national home sales.
“Sales of previously occupied homes took a large drop for the second consecutive month in January, falling to the lowest level since summer. It is understood as another sign the housing market’s recovery is faltering. The National Association of Realtors said sales fell 7.2% to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.05 million from a downwardly revised pace of 5.44 million in December. The results, the weakest since June, were far worse than forecast. Economists expected a slight increase, to a rate of 5.5 million.
Sales declined throughout the country, falling the most—nearly 11%—in the Northeast. Sales fell by about 7% in the South and the Midwest and by more than 5% in the West.“
