Up day on our second place finish on Belle Trace foreclosure mentioned few weeks back where lender topped our bid of $131,000. ll JP Morgan bid the property in at $145,000 and now has it listed with Amy Brocato at $120,000. This is what happens when there is a guarantee behind loan with rural development. Earl Waltman stopped bidding at $115,000 and called me later to say how lucky I was not to buy the property at $131,000.

Ryan Pecot commercial broker with Sterling shared with me and I passed it on to our listener’s article Ryan wrote in Lafayette paper. The article was an update on retail market in Lafayette and he begins by telling us 2011 on national basis was a record low years in new square footage for construction of retail properties. Lafayette introduced 200,000 and I need to research what our market did in comparison. Increase in occupancy for the entire market increased more than half-point 86%. College Drive at Johnson street area had 94% occupancy. Rents for small shops increase 25 cents per square foot to $15.70 psf. Ambassador Caffery trade area was $18.09 psf.
