re: How bad is the real estate market in BR?

Your house is beautiful and the exact kind I'm looking for. I pass by it every day on the way to/from work. Unfortunately it's too big for me (I'm single) and I'm trying to stay under $500k 
The problem is that $500k in BR gets you a cookie cutter pos with laminate flooring and a 2in gap between you and your neighbors house.
The market is absolute shite. House shopping here is the most depressing thing

my own pipeline and talking with all the LO's at my company. I work for Hancockwhitney last year our internal number of first time homebuyers was 68%.

I'm not spending 800k for a closet with that wire shelving.

That closet is actually built out attic space - so if you’re too good for shelving for attic storage, it’s not for you.

You're the one complaining that it won't sell. I don't care if it is attic or garage storage. Being off Highland and over 800k you have to improve that.

Actually, St. George IS the place to be.
It has the budget surplus of $50 million, and improvements are already happening around the City. Baton Rouge proper is cutting 40% of its services, and will definitely need to raise taxes to fill the gaps.
Investing / living here is a way better idea than any ‘mid-city’ home. The synergy of development, people, schools, everything is moving here, not toward ‘Mid-City.’
The tax uncertainty is not with St. George. The uncertainty is with Baton Rouge.

Well considering all the other houses in that neighborhood sold for 4-600K, its not a stretch that its over valued. Never want to have the most expensive house in a neighborhood!

I wouldn't exactly say that. There are lots of very pretty homes in that price range, especially since you want something smaller. Homes are still largely priced per foot, all things considered.

200 a square in BR? No thanks

Yeah I noticed that new house a couple doors down from you. Place looks amazing. Really beautiful look to that house in the early construction phase.
