Baton Rouge Real Estate Sales Up Compared with Last Year

By | Published: October 19, 2009

September real estate sales in Baton Rouge were strong

The September data for Baton Rouge real estate sales is in and it shows a marked improvement compared with September of 2008.  While overall sales for the first nine months of the year have been fewer than 2008, the strong September real estate sales in Baton Rouge are a positive sign and help the overall sales statistics catch up a bit.  Realtors in Baton Rouge sold 615 homes in September 2009 compared with 405 in September 2008.  This represents a significant jump in sales volume.  Much of the increase in Baton Rouge real estate sales is attributed to the First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit which is set to expire at the end of November as well as with the historically low interest rates that are currently available.
