SFREP recently added a new mapping feature to their “Appraise-It” product, which aids the appraiser in better communication with the underwriters.

And I have loved using their software since 1991, and I love the recent advances that they have made. If I go into the software, and type in a random address. I am going to go into the street maps. Down on the bottom, I’m going to go ahead and get my map, and I am going to make the map a little bit smaller, so I can draw my boundaries. If I go to create and follow the interstate down all the way to Siegen, close it, I can move this over to the neighborhood boundaries map. If I go to number three, this helps me draw the neighborhood boundaries to be able to communicate more effectively to the underwriter of the neighborhood, which I considered in the neighborhood section area, as far as feeling out the boundaries, neighborhood, and that kind of information.

www.batonrougehousingreports.com – Predictions for 2012 Greater Baton Rouge Housing Market. The image in the article of this prediction for 2011 Baton Rouge Home Prices to rise was only wishful thinking and didn’t materialize. In fact, the clear CoreLogic trend leading up to this 12/28/2010 prediction showed several months of the Baton Rouge home price index dropping.

I expect GBR home prices to continue to correct from such lofty heights post Hurricane Katrina and lack of local income growth. I expect foreclosures to continue to mount in the under $175000 range. I expect home sales to continue to improve based on corrected lower home prices to some degree and added supply of more affordable new home construction. Some Sellers In Denial, Asking Too Much! Some local home sellers are in “denial” and are asking far too much for their homes based on the post Hurricane Katrina psychological impact of so much appreciation so fast. It’s easy to …
