2928 Edward Avenue, Baton Rouge, La 70808 Zeeland Place subdivision
Wow!!
One of a kind home, featured on HGTV and winner of Baton Rouge Growth Coalition’s Good Growth Award for renovation and landscaping, located in the popular but rarely available area near Reymond Avenue. Built in the 1930′s, this home was lovingly restored by the owners, an interior designer and landscape architect. Every room has a “tree house’ effect, with lovely views of gardens and treetops. The entire original home was kept but converted into different space and over 3000 square feet were added, including a true basement. Most of the original materials were salvaged and re-used in various parts of the home. The beautifully landscaped backyard features a saltwater pool and outdoor kitchen cabana, and tree house. All of the materials are of the highest quality and design. This home “lives’ comfortably yet is a wonderful setting for entertaining. There are two stairways, one from the kitchen and the other is the main stairway. The basement is large enough to be a game room, media room or home office. It can be accessed from the main house, but also has a separate entry so that visitors to that area need not enter the main house. The second floor has 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, an office nook, and another large living area. There is an abundance of storage, two car attached garage, and owners are currently enlarging the master closet which can be customized for future owner. Home is covered by Old Republic Home Warranty, transferrable to buyer.

Central thruway work continues
Work will begin this week on one of the Central Thruway projects that will eventually form part of a route that officials say will provide an improved north-south connection from Nicholson Drive to Hooper Road. The Central Thruway as a whole will cost about $70 million, including about $50 million in local money and $20 million in federal funds, and is one of the largest public works projects in East Baton Rouge history. This project features 2 bridges and will cost about $9.5 million. This is the fourth of nine Central Thruway projects, and the 14th Green Light Plan project, to begin construction. The new project is scheduled for completion in early 2011; officials don’t yet have an anticipated completion date for the Thruway

Baton Rouge real estate foreclosures on the rise
I blog about this quite frequently. It appears we are starting to feel the pinches of the recession in housing market. According to the Baton rouge Business Report,
“Louisiana still ranks low for foreclosures, even though percentage of
homes facing seizure went up by nearly 79% in April, when compared to
the year before. According to RealtyTrac, one out of every 1,653 homes
in Louisiana is foreclosed, compared with the national average of one
out of every 374 houses. That put the state 38th in foreclosures during
April. The number of foreclosures nationally went up by 32% in April,
when compared with April 2008. Nevada once again had the highest
foreclosure rate, with one out of every 68 houses facing bank seizure.
Vermont was once again ranked last; there were two foreclosures in the
whole state during April. RealtyTrac says April had the highest number
of foreclosures since it started keeping an eye on the numbers three
years ago.”
While searching for properties this morning I noticed quite a few short sales (pre-foreclosures) just in general listings. What is NOT helping is just how dang hard it is to get a mortgage to help eliminate some of this inventory. Stay posted for more updates on Baton Rouge Real Estate foreclosures

First Time home buyers benefit from housing slump
Let me start off by saying…I am busy. Not that I don’t have my fair share of people that are buying their second or third homes. Its first timers that are a majority of my clientele. While the baton rouge real estate market is vastly different thatelsewhere, here is a very interesting article that was on msnbc.
One part that struck my interest : “First-time buyers like Kalaitzidis are dominating the real estate market right now. They snapped up 53 percent of all properties sold during March 2009, up from the usual 40 percent or less, according to data from the National Association of Realtors.”
Wow! now thats amazing
