In the month of February there were 26% less closings than there were in February 2009. This is the second month that sales were down more than 20%. Let’s blame on the unusually clod weather and look ahead to better days as the temperatures warm up.

Here are the numbers:

Active listings for sale in the Greater Baton Rouge real estate market 3489, pending sales 932. I like seeing that number come up from the low 700’s in January. It’s been around 1000 for a long time.

I just compiled the numbers for November sales and the current listings and homes that have pending sales.

There are 3623 current active listings for sale, and 850 pending. Th epending number is 17% off from any time I have seen in the past several years.

The sold numbers are pretty stable being around the 500 sales per month range.
