http://batonrougerealestateappraisal.com/ – The Lakes At Highland Update, Baton Rouge Real Estate Market Update

The Lakes At Highland Subdivision Baton Rouge Louisiana 70810

The Lakes At Highland Subdivision Baton Rouge Louisiana 70810

The Lakes At Highland (LAH) is a high-end residential development in the highest price zip code within the Baton Rouge marketing area.   Home prices within LAH are generally in the $350K to approx. $750K range with a median sales price since 11/03/2007 of $472,000.

Solds From Within The Lakes At Highland Subdivision from 01/01/2007 to 12/31/2007 revealed: 
Average Sales Price: $492,625
Average Sold Price Per Sq. Ft.: $158.34
Median Sold Price: $478,250
Low Sales Price: $375,500
High Sales Price: $685,000
Average # of Days On Market: 70

Solds From Within The Lakes At Highland Subdivision from 01/01/2008 to 01/10/2009 reveals: 
Average Sales Price: $473,938
Average Sold Price Per Sq. Ft.: $159.49
Median Sold Price: $498,500
Low Sales Price: $356,000
High Sales Price: $575,000
Average # of Days On Market: 42
# of Sales: 8

Therefore, based on the median sale price barometer (the barometer used by the NAR National Association of Realtors) within subdivision, the market direction appears to be increasing to remaining stable/steady.   Stable/Steady was chosen as a result of the large # of competing homes on the market.    

The Average Sales Price has decreased by -$18,687.   This could be due to the fact that there were 2 sales in the first period in 2007 in the $655,000 to $685,000 plus range.   These higher sales would have worked to skew the numbers in the second period where the sales were up to $575,000.

Median Sales Price has increased by +$20,250. 

Average Sold Price Per Sq. Ft. has increased by +$1.15/sf.

Baton Rouge Real Estate Appraisers News: Jairo Alvarez / Alvarez Construction Enjoying success after humble start

http://batonrougerealestateappraisal.com/ – Baton Rouge Real Estate Appraisers News: Jairo Alvarez / Alvarez Construction Enjoying success after humble start

Jairo Alvarez claims he has free time. But when he isn’t running his homebuilding company, he’s painting or writing or cycling or working his backyard gardens and fruit trees.

The wall of Alvarez’s house is dotted with his original paintings. Most are tranquil landscapes: black-and-white sketches of south Louisiana swamps and watercolors of the humble farmhouses in rural Colombia, where he and wife Anita were raised.

He is now the patriarch of Alvarez Construction, a family run company which has found itself with an increasing amount of work.

The company has more than 500 housing units under development. But the project with perhaps the highest profile is the 100-acre corner of Perkins Road and Pecue Lane, which Alvarez Construction bought in January. Once land clearing is complete this summer, Alvarez will begin transforming it into Jamestown at Old Perkins.

Development plans call for 227 single-family homes and more than 100 condominium units, as well as retail space, office space and 24 acres of lakes and jogging trails.

Alvarez Construction has other major projects under development. Forest Creek is an 81-home subdivision at Tiger Bend and Jones Creek roads. Magnolia Pointe is a 59-home neighborhood on Staring Lane near Boone Drive. South Hampton is a 61-unit upscale condominium complex at Stumberg Lane and Jefferson Highway.

The construction business has been good to Alvarez and his family, especially in the revved-up, post-Katrina market. He and his wife, Anita, live comfortably in an upscale neighborhood in south Baton Rouge.

But their road to success has been a long journey of hard work across two continents and his share of business failures. Read the entire story
