Easterly Lakes values aren't nearly what they used to be and won't return to post Hurricane Katrina pricing anytime soon! Sales activity is very slow in 2012. However, there are 3 pending or under contract listings. And, a Real Estate Investors not so great a success in Easterly Lakes all below. I'm currently working on Pre-Listing Appraisal where the buyer in 2006 will take a substantial loss selling in 2012.

Therefore, based on the median sale price barometer (the barometer used by the NAR National Association of Realtors) within Easterly Lakes, market direction appears to be declining. It's difficult to call trend based on only 1 sale though. And again, there are at least 3 pending listings, which may be closing soon to provide better evidence of market direction. One of the pendings is at $111.80/sf (very high price and it will be very interesting to see IF it appraises....based on support, I expect a low appraisal) and another is a short sale listed at $97.37/sf.
Real Estate Investors not so great a success in Easterly Lakes. This home below is located on Page Drive and sold in November 2006 for $195,000 and then in June 2010 for $145,000 as a distressed sale. Perhaps up to $30,000 was invested for renovation where it sold in 2012 for $187,000 or $103.69/sf. IT TOOK 423 DAYS To Sell This Home! The main reason it was on the market for 423 days is because it was listed for $200,000 and then $195,000 for only 1,814sf or $110.25/sf to $107.50/sf. That kind of support no longer exist as of the writing of this market update. This was a case of a "SELLER IN DENIAL"!
