Slidell, Pearl River and Lacombe, Louisiana Real Estate Review, July 2010

August 20, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

This list covers the City of Slidell, LA 70458, 70460, and 70461. As well, this list includes data for the Cities of Pearl River, LA 70452, and Lacombe, LA 70445.

=====

76 home sales for East St Tammany during the month of July. A large drop off from June's total of 111, a little over 30% if my calculations are correct. This is the lowest number in 5 months and, in my opinion, shows how much of an effect the expiration of the first time home buyer's tax credit is having on our real estate market.

Covington and Abita Springs, Louisiana, Real Estate Review, July 2010

August 19, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

This list covers the City of Covington, LA 70433 and 70435, as well the Cities of Abita Springs, LA 70420, and Folsom, LA 70437.

=====

49 home sales for Greater Covington during the month of July. A marked decrease over the previous month. 69 in June, only 49 in July. This is almost a 30% drop in the number of real estate sales. Now I did expect a drop from June to July due to the first time home buyers tax credit and the June 30th deadline. June should have had an abnormally high number of closings, and July, I knew, would take a hit, but I did not expect 25+ percent.

Mandeville and Madisonville, Louisiana, Home Sales Review, July 2010

August 18, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

The pie chart above illustrates data pulled for the Cities of Mandeville, LA 70448, 70471, as well Madisonville, LA 70447

=====

64 home sales for the month of July. A decrease of almost 30% in the number of transactions from June. June's figures I fully expected to be high due to the expiration of the first time home buyer's credit on June 30th. As well June's numbers were a consecutive increase of four months in a row, and 93 (the number of sales in June) was the highest single month in over 3 years. Therefore… I would have to say this is really just a drop back to a more common reality for Mandeville and Madisonville. I am not happy about it though…

Please find attached below the new South East St Tammany Parish Zoning Map, recently approved by the St Tammany Parish Council, September 2009. This new updated map is part of St Tammany's Parish Wide Comprehensive Rezoning.

Download South East St Tammany Parish Zoning Map

The South East Zoning Map covers St Tammany East of Highway 11, which consists of the majority of Slidell, as well a significant part of Pearl River. A keynote to mention here is the juncture of 3 Interstates, I-10, I-12, and I-59, the zoning, of which is detailed in this map. The Railroad line running through Slidell and Pearl River may be of importance as well.

This is a sharp map and a good resource provided by the St Tammany Parish Government.
