When should you buy a home?

1. Is now a good time to buy in South Louisiana?

Pro Answer:
“Yes—if you’re buying for the right reasons. Prices are stable to slightly rising in most parishes, and inventory is increasing. Buyers have more negotiating leverage than they did a year ago.”

2. Are home prices going up or down?

Pro Answer:
“South Louisiana prices are holding steady. Move-in ready homes in good school districts are selling fastest, while dated homes sit longer.”

3. How competitive is the market right now?

Pro Answer:
“We’re seeing moderate competition. The best homes still get multiple offers but usually not the bidding wars we saw in 2021–22.”

4. Should I wait for rates to drop?

Pro Answer:
“Rates may adjust, but waiting could cost you if prices rise. Marry the house, date the rate—you can always refinance later.”

When in doubt, call an professional. The truth is the market is constantly changing and we understand it and can make it work for you!
