http://www.denhamspringsappraisers.com/ – Denham Springs Home Appraisers: Summerfield Sudivision 2010 Price Trends Report!
NOTE: If you are considering purchasing a home in Summerfield Subdivision and don’t want to pay too much, I would advise one to order a “Pre-Purchase Appraisal” from Accurate Valuations Group as there is a gradual and steady decline of home prices in Summerfield since 2007 meaning one shouldn’t overpay for a home in Summerfield. REO or Foreclosure and Short Sales activity is increasing in Summerfield in 2010 and into 2011 as this appraiser just this week appraised a foreclosure on Summerfield Drive.
And, there is one (1) listing in Summerfield that is now pending and the listing history of this home brings the declining home prices to my attention. This is a nice 1,813sf home in good condition now listed at $170,000. This home was originally listed for $209,900 in 7/2010 and reduced to $199,900, $195,000, $189,000, $185,000 and now $170,000. It took 148 days on the market to sell this home. If this home sells for $170,000 for an 1,813sf, that would be a new benchmark low for 1813sf in this market. YES, this is a “Short Sale”, however, the market didn’t want this home at these high listing prices whether a short sale or not!
