Tri-Parish Real Estate Market Report

The geography covered by the Greater Baton Rouge Association of Realtors has been segmented into numbered areas. These areas are depicted on the following map.

An analysis of detached single family sales during 2010 was done in the tri-parish region (Ascension, East Baton Rouge, and Livingston) and broken down by MLS area. The next chart provides the results of that analysis.

The chart illustrates that the highest dollar volumes were achieved in northern Ascension parish and in southern East Baton Rouge parish. Unit sales followed similar patterns except that the Livingston parish areas of 81 and 83 exhibited relatively high unit sales. Another statistic is worth noting... homes in area 61 had the highest median sales price of any of the MLS areas.

A similar analysis was done but included only new construction. That chart is below.

We can see that area 90 in Ascension parish far exceeded any other area in terms of both unit and dollar volume. Area 83 in Livingston parish came in second.

As always, I appreciate hearing from readers and I welcome any comments or suggestions for improvement that you may offer.
