Otts Cove Subdivision Denham Springs Flood Update 2017

Posted on by

Otts Cove Subdivision Denham Springs Watson Home Sales Trends 2014 to 2017 Seller Paid Concessions Mean The Numbers On Chart Are Misleading… The latest 2016 sales show median sales price of $155,500 and $109 per square foot. However, these are misleading numbers because seller paid concessions were $2,000, $5,500, $7,920, $0 and $0. On average, sellers received $3100 less than sales price because they had to pay buyers to buy their homes. In other words, they had to on average pay $3,100 in buyers closing cost, meaning the median sales price is actually $151,900 and $108 per square foot.

Did Great Flood Send Denham Springs Livingston Parish Home Prices Lower?

Posted on by

Did Great Flood Send Denham Springs Livingston Parish Home Prices Lower? Absolutely…initially! As median sales price chart below illustrates, prices have declined from $165,000 to $156,000 since January 1 2016 because of the $25,000 to $125,000 sales prices of flooded damaged homes. However…see below HOWEVER, sales prices of flooded-renovated Western Livingston Parish homes would blow your mind. It’s as if today’s post-flood home buyers don’t have any context as to what homes were worth pre-flood…and some of the problems inside subdivisions like Shadow Springs.
