re: How bad is the real estate market in BR?
Posted by Redstickbaw on 12/7/25 at 8:20 pm to TigerDL
Personally I like the garden district/bocage/hundred oaks general area. I find it easier to get around coming from that area and I feel like there is more history and originality in the older homes in that area. I think it’s a more convenient area to be in to access lsu, downtown, government st. businesses, Towne center area, and not a terrible to drive to things in south br. You are also within 3 golf courses city park, Webb and BR country club as well and tennis for Bocage racquet club. I do see the desire to be in college town area and highland road also. At the same time I think the rouzan and willows also have nice homes in it. That’s just my opinion and the market is priced as others opinions see fit based on demand. I understand the areas I mention are adjacent to high crime areas but it is obvious given home values that it doesn’t bother most people as there are homes there priced high. Crime generally stays within its own neighborhoods and most people from BR know that.

Well, probably 80% of BRPD do just that. They live in Ascension and Livingston Parish.
That’s probably true but how many BRPD are in the market for a 800k house and can afford private school? I’d say not many so they choose to buy a house they can afford outside of the parish for a better public school. My point was if you are spending 800k on a house and you work in BR then you are most likely buying a house in BR and sending your kid to private school so you don’t have to make that awful commute outside the parish everyday just to live in a better public school district suburb.

Y’all are talking about homes located in two completely different sides of town. Yea, you can find a capital heights house that is pushing $250/sqft or this house off highland at just at $200sqft. That alone shows there is definitely those out there that value the capital heights location more desirable and are willing to pay a premium for it. That doesn’t mean that OPs house off highland isn’t also a desirable house for someone who spends more time in south BR. CCL isn’t too far up highland from OP and there are plenty in that subdivision that find that location desirable on that side of town as their willingness to buy homes there.

How much per sq ft have other homes in your subdivision sold for in the past 3-6 months? Are you priced at what other homes have sold for? Like others said it appears to be a nice house and it is puzzling while it hasn’t sold

The crazy thing is, if you move that house to Prarieville it would have been sold. The schools sell houses.
But then you would have to live in Prairieville. No one buying that house is sending their kid to public school in BR unless it was a magnet school. No one is paying 800k for a house in Prairieville and have to commute to BR for work. Chances are they are spending 25k on tuition to send their kid to Dunham or Episcopal. I don’t think schooling is a concern for that budget

That’s a good deal where is this at? Might scoop it up as a rental

Not sure why yours hasn’t sold but I know several people who have bought and sold in BR in this price range and $1+ million over the past couple months with no problem. Several instances where the homes didn’t even hit the MLS. I don’t see anything that sticks out in your listing that draws any red flags. Have you had any offers at all? Your price per sq ft actually seems low to me based on other homes in BR that I know have sold in over 800k to over 1 million.
How come all of our business savvy people manage LSU sports but not BR or the state?
Posted by Redstickbaw on 12/4/25 at 9:48 am
It seems like if they can budget and raise funds for LSU sports at a high level and be successful they should be able to manage the city or even the state. Why aren’t these great minds running for mayor or governor?
re: How is Kiffin going to buy a house here if he doesn’t know how much he makes?

Who said I put personal money up to pay him? Whoever said that I need to have a talk with them.

Posted by Redstickbaw on 12/4/25 at 8:16 am
He said in a presser the other day he doesn’t know how much he makes. How do you budget for a house like that? We should’ve gave him a low ball offer if he wasn’t even going to look at the numbers

The estimated monthly payment is 80k per month. It may be out of his budget

It’s still an active listing on the MLS. If it was under contract it wouldn’t still be listed as active. It’s actually owned by a dentist currently who sold his practice to a major franchise brand. The dentist bought it in 2015 for $6 mil
Why does Hunt Palmer say “I don’t know” so many times on his show?

Anyone else listen to Hunt Palmer show? If not who do you go to for your LSU sports news?

Already made reservations at Supper Club tonight to celebrate the hire
Posted by Redstickbaw on 11/21/25 at 1:35 pm
Pretty excited about celebrating the big coach hire tonight along side BR’s upper class at Supper Club tonight. I think I took one of the last open reservations as they said the phones were ringing off the hook yesterday for people also wanting to celebrate tonight. I’m glad this coaching search is over with and looking forward to ordering top shelf drinks tonight.
re: Ole Miss fans are confident he’s staying put

That’s because Kiffin is staying put. He’s leveraging other schools to get a high offer from ole miss. He has everything he needs at Ole Miss he just wants a pay bump from them.

Our budget is little to no guarantee contracts. Go look at our governors press conferences.
