Home prices decline in Louisiana

Home prices started to decline when the sup prime mortgage crisis hit the economy in late 2006. As the interest rose with rise in inflation the average monthly mortgage payments burden on borrowers increased which resulted in default payments. In addition, rise in unemployment rate made the situation worse, leaving the borrowers with no option other than selling the home and pay off the debt or face the foreclosures. With more home coming for foreclosure or sale, the home prices started to decline with increased supply and decreased earning capacity.

The home prices continued to decline in Louisiana in Sep 2009 by 6.45 percent compared to a year ago but less compared to national decline numbers, reported by first American corelogic. Where the home prices declines recorded nationally are 9.8 percent in September from previous year data.

This numbers includes distressed sales. Excluding distressed sales, decline numbers recording at 3.56 percent which are worse than that was in august.

Previously, it has been said that the decline in home prices slowed for the straight third month in April, it is because the home buyers are buying in areas with the strongest markets as the home prices rose from December to January 2009. They reported that the home prices decline in month of January 2009 recorded at 6.3 percent compared to previous year, which was smallest decline in past five month. This has been said from the price hike of homes by 1.7% on a seasonally adjusted index for month of January.

From there the home prices indices reported in April is smallest in last two years seasonally adjusted housing prices according to Standard and Poor. But with one to there months data one can not determine that turnaround has begun; it seems that stabilization is in process for some regions. It takes some time to determine as we are entering into seasonally strong period in housing market.

This change in pace of declines of housing prices from sharp declines to a moderate is an indication of moving in upward direction. The housing market data released points out that highest level of home purchases are affordable in at least 40 years and a stabilised existing home purchases and home construction has increased although at low levels of activity.

Louisiana that experienced high levels of home sales will continue to experience price declines in coming days. This will further cause the home price decline recorder over US for next quarters to come. At the same time some state are experiencing stable rise in price even though national prices are in decline. Therefore it can be said that stronger housing markets are getting stronger, while the weaker getting weaker in the present condition.

The rise in home prices caused due to sales which inexplicably occurred in stronger markets. In past year Louisiana has experienced only 0.4% drop in drop in price decline while many regions were experienced price down with 21.1%.

According to S&P, the average US home prices were at the same level they were in mid 2003 with sharply affected with crisis in 2006.
