Belle Chasse LA | Number of Homes Sold | July 2009
Belle Chasse ended July with 3 homes sold, bringing the year to date total to 36 homes sold in 2009 (down from 50 sales at the same time last year).
Conventional financing ruled July – all of the sales were to buyers using conventional loans, which means they had to have at least a 10% down payment. These are strong buyers that are choosing homes in the $300-$400k price range which currently accounts for about 21% of the Belle Chasse real estate market.
The drop in the number of sales pushed the absorption rate up from 7 months to 17 months, showing what a delicate balance there is between supply and demand in today’s market.
Belle Chasse LA | Average Home Sale Prices | July 2009
The average Belle Chasse home sale in July was for $330,833, while the 2009 year to date average is $269,336, down almost 19% from the 2008 average. While the average list price is skewed by that one listing for $1.7 million, the median list price (half of the homes are priced lower, half are priced higher) is still higher than what the average Belle Chasse home buyer is spending.

Lisa, I love your graphics....it's wonderful when I can understand a market report (and it means other consumers can as well).
Awesome graphs! What program did you use to create them. I also want to compliment you on your website, blog, online documents, etc... I followed your links to them and ended up spending about 30 minutes on your site- one of the best I have seen.
If I have a client moving your way, I will most definitely be sending you a referral- you are knowledgeable and it shows. Keep up the great work! Very Impressive!
Carole, thank you! You always have the kindest words about boring old market reports :)
Christine & Jennifer, I do the graphs in Excel - very easy once you get the hang of it! Thank you so much for taking the time to visit my blog. It is (and will probably always be) a work in progress, but I'm kind of partial to it :)
Ok, Lisa, when do we get the Excel tutorial for the graphs! Your graphs are very appealing, and complimentary. Great job!
Thanks, Tamara! I just created spreadsheets in Excel and then used that data to make the graphs within the spreadsheet. Copy/paste to Paint, save as a jpg and done :)
Thanks Lisa,
I've got the hang of the graphics, now trying to figure out how to add a background photo :-)
Tamara, are you trying to add the background photo to the graph? If so, that's easy. Just right click on the graph, choose format chart area, then opt for a picture for the fill. You can adjust the transparency to lighten the photo if it's too overwhelming for the graph. Feel free to give me a shout if you need help!
