Though East Baton Rouge Parish sales were flat, total home sales in the eight-parish Capital Region for 2014 finished 3.2% higher than in 2013, aided by a strong December in which area sales jumped by 6.4% compared to the same month the previous year.
In its latest monthly report, released today, the Greater Baton Rouge Association of Realtors says 8,903 homes were sold last year in East Baton Rouge, Ascension, Livingston, West Baton Rouge, East Feliciana, West Feliciana, Iberville and Pointe Coupee parishes.
The association recorded 8,625 sales in those parishes in 2013. The average home sale price in the Capital Region rose 2.3% last year to $203,203.
“There’s no reason to think that 2015 isn’t going to be another really strong year,” says GBRAR President Donna Wolff.
