So what do all these numbers mean?

Increase in Monthly Sales and Average Sales Price for December is wonderful news! This holiday season was definitely a little more active than most. We are still seeing activity in January. With the news reporting that things are looking up it seems that consumer confidence is also on the rise. All in all, 2011 was a descent year for real estate in Ascension Parish. Without the help of the First Time Homebuyer tax credit that we had in 2010 there were 48 more homes sold in 2011. I predict 2012 will be even better!

In 2012 there will also be a difference in how I report the Market Stats. Instead of grouping Ascension Parish as a whole, I will be separating out by zip codes to show what Prairieville, Gonzales, St. Amant & Dutctown are doing. I hope this will help homeowners and perspective buyers to understand their specific markets a little better.

These stats are for areas 90, 91 & 92 in Ascension Parish. Information used from Greater Baton Rouge MLS.  They include only single family dwellings. Manufactured homes, Land and Commercial sales are not part of these numbers.  If you would like information on either of these, feel free to let me know.

The Holidays are upon us! Historically, the real estate market slows down during the holidays. That doesn’t mean that it stops. There is still plenty of activity due to transferees moving in and out with our Chemical Companies and other Industrial entities in the area, as well as local transitions within our area. The hottest price range still hovers around the $150,000 – $199,999 area. If you have a home to sell in that price range, let me know and we will work together to get you on this sold report!
