My guess is there are more bumps in the recovery highway yet to come.

Thank you for your time, Doug!  Yes, East Baton Rouge itself, in some of the hotter zip codes is doing well, but Wow were my eyes opened with the whole day dedicated to end of month reporting on GBR Housing.  Ascension and Livingston Parish seem to be under performing based on the numbers, which is very disturbing.  Especially since Western Livingston Parish (Denham Springs, Watson, Walker) are viewed as the bread-and-butter affordable housing markets where the median sales price is $153K, almost $50K below Baton Rouge median prices. Ascension and Livingston Parishes are supposed to be the 2 fastest growing Parishes in Louisiana.  If they still are, then Louisiana growth must have really slowed.  Scratching my head on this.....

Hope ALL is well in CENLA!  Bill
