As a resident of Watson since 1994, I have seen a tremendous growth in the community with

people and development. Since 1994 Watson has developed many businesses such as

resturants, strip malls, additional elementary schools, several named subdivisions, and even

top named stores. When I first became a resident of this remarkable community, there was only

a 2 lane highway(hwy.16), a one diamond ballpark, and barely no businesses. Now, Watson

has a 4 lane highway from Denham Springs into Watson, a newer and larger ballpark facility,

and several of the finest subdivisions such as Easterly Lakes, Lakes at Belle Terre, Oak Hills, and

several more in development.

I am a very proud resident of this fast growing community as well as Livingston Parish. I am also

proud to serve this area with community involvement and Real Estate needs.

Congratulations Watson on tremendous growth of a community!!!!!!!!!

http://denhamspringsappraisers.com/ - Denham Springs FHA Appraisers Report On Summerfield Subdivision 70726

An MLS CMA of this Subdivision from 01/01/2007 to 12/31/2007 revealed:
Average Sales Price: $201,375
Average Sold Price Per Sq. Ft.: $107.39
Median Sold Price: $202,750
Low Sales Price: $181,000
High Sales Price: $219,000
Average # of Days On Market: 88

An MLS CMA of this Subdivision from 01/01/2008 to 02/19/2009 reveals:
Average Sales Price: $225,725
Average Sold Price Per Sq. Ft.: $107.33
Median Sold Price: $248,000
Low Sales Price: $184,900
High Sales Price: $270,000
Average # of Days On Market: 91
# of Sales: 4
Listing Price To Sales Price Ratio Has Been: 99%

Therefore, based on the median sale price barometer (the barometer used by the NAR National Association of Realtors) within Summerfield Subdivision, the market direction appears to be increasing. However, the rare $270,000 sale of a 2,400sf custom home on the lake with $40K Saltwater Pool, $25K Custom Car Storage & Workshop, which I appraised, for Summerfield did help to skew the numbers below. The Average home in Summerfield, per MLS, is 1,880sf. The Average Sales Price has increased +$24,350 or +12.09%, again, due to the rare $270K sale. Median Sales Price has increased +$45,250 or +22.32%, again, due to the rare $270K sale.. Average Sold Price Per Sq. Ft. is basically unchanged. Remember that this increase represents a period since 1/1/2008. Due to the significant slowdown in
this market, the Property Values box is checked as "Stable". The last 4 sales in Summerfield since 1/1/2008 were on the market for 84, 22, 101 and 158 days, for an average of 91 days or approx. 3 months.
