Located on the east side of Tallahassee just north of Mahan Drive, Lafayette Oaks is Tallahassee’s first gated community and offers larger homes on larger lots in a highly prized location.
Lafayette Oaks has homes built from the 1970s through the 1980s, though occasionally new homes have been built or renovated since that time. As this month’s report will show, Lafayette Oaks is having its best year on record.
In this report, we will look at prices, values, and sizes of homes in Lafayette Oaks, as well as show current listings in the Tallahassee MLS and all closed home sales going back to 2003.
Lafayette Oaks is a residential neighborhood of approximately 350 homes located in Tallahassee Florida. The neighborhood was founded in 1971. It is located on the historic Lafayette Land Grant — the large grant of land deeded to the Marquis de Lafayette by the United States Congress in appreciation for his assistance during the Revolutionary War. Our neighbors enjoy rolling hills, stately oak trees, and a country atmosphere on the outskirts of Tallahassee. We have a neighborhood park, pool, community center, and tennis court. Our neighbors gather frequently for potluck socials, neighborhood yard sales, and enriching classes. – Lafayette Oaks Homeowners Association Website
Lafayette Oaks Home Prices
For all of the three real estate graphs found in this report, you will find the number of closed home sales for each year (blue columns, measured on the left vertical axis), and an important real estate statistic shown in red (measured on the right vertical axis. It is important to note that sales are through December for all previous years, but through mid December in 2014.
Average home prices fell 12% in 2014 versus 2013, but still sit well above the market low established in 2011. Distressed sales are are occurring at a rate far lower than what other neighborhoods in Tallahassee are seeing (no distressed sales since November 2013), so the primary reason for the large decline in prices is the fact that smaller homes are selling this year. The average recorded sales price is $273,000 for Lafayette Oaks thus far in 2014.
Home sales activity this year is hot, soaring above the levels recorded during the most active years from 2002 through 2006. Thus far in 2014, there have been 18 closed home sales in Lafayette Oaks.
