October Home Sales
quote:
The biggest monthly gainer was Livingston Parish, where sales were up 14.7 percent from 109 to 125.
Ascension Parish also had a double-digit gain, with sales going up 10.5 percent, from 114 to 126.
East Baton Rouge Parish, which accounts for the biggest share of the market, saw sales drop by 6.5 percent in October to 348 from 372.
The median home price rose 7.5 percent in October to $183,698 from $170,858, a sign of the continuing strength of the market.

They'll be back soon enough. It's all cyclical.

The majority of new BR property development is rental, show us a graphic of how many new rentals opened in BR and what the vacancy rate is.

There is nothing in your OP that supports your topic's conclusion, fwiw.
ETA: If anything, the graphic shows fewer people in EBR are selling their houses compared to last year. Meaning more people in EBR are staying put, not leaving.

Shocker: Poor People are Leaving EBR for LP and AP

They'll move back when they realize that Guber isn't available out here in the country

EBR needs to improve school system!!

LSURUssian spews his misinformation again. People with young children are leaving EBR in huge numbers.
You can look at building permits for single family homes in surrounding parishes compared to EBRP. That will tell you the story.
You have a few places in EBRP where single family homes are being built in EBRP. Central, Zachary, and the Southern portion of the parish still have SF homes coming up just not in great numbers. Look at the sf home permits inside BR the numbers are not there.
Most of the building permits in EBRP is outside the city of BR and its commercial or multi family construction. Don't worry BR will try to annex the commercial property while not annexing multi family properties. I wonder why?
Most of the homes I built in Livingston parish this year sold within 2 days or less of me listing them. Every single purchase was from people who had children that were reaching school age or young couples expecting to have kids that came from apartments in BR.

Not me. I'm staying in EBR. Screw that drive in the morning and afternoon... Plus WTF is there to do in either LP or AP on weekends?

I wouldn't read too much in the numbers about how people are leaving one parish for another.
For one, "new listings" are any home being put on the market -- could be a 50 year old house, could be put up by people moving for work, or downsizing, or upsizing.
The second is that East Baton Rouge Parish still accounts for most of the sales activity in the metro area. There were more houses sold in EBR in October than there were in Livingston and Ascension combined.
About all these numbers show is that there's a good bit of activity in the local housing market. People are buying and selling, prices are continuing to go up and the homes on the market are moving.

Was just a matter of time before people caught on to the good living available in LP. It's a shame, now the BR residents will move in and ruin our nice community.

but the inventory is down by even more than the drop in sales. So your initial statement that people are getting out of BR to head for the land of starter homes is still not right.

So you are telling me that areas with a mostly good public school network are more desirable than areas with a mostly shitty public school network?
This isn't exactly shocking news.
