WTF is the seller thinking?! I like how the zillow estimate isn't even half the asking price. No one's going to pay half-a-mill to live a block north of Manchus.

That’s a rough street too. That asking price is laughable.

Isn’t the going rate on trap houses “the value of six years of income”?

New Orleans real estate has been arguably the most enigmatic market in the country going now well over a decade.

I’ve asked numerous "Experts" about this and get different views from everyone I ask. None with a straightforward reason why. It’s puzzling to everyone.

Unless the lot has some special zoning that price is crazy.

If it burned down today, you might get $150-160k from the insurance company. Most likely less.

Love being able to see underneath the house from the street.

The seller appears that they do not want to sell that house.

It might be a divorce issue with a forced sale of the house. My guess is that one party does not want to sell and is thus listing at an absurd price for the area.

Wondering why you would want to newly renovate the house with hardwood floors and quartz countertops in that proximity to the hood.

Covering a turd in gold isn’t going to increase the value much, as it likely would cause the gold to lose value too.

The New Orleans real estate market is insane. I keep saying it has to pop at some point, but it keeps going. I guess with people being able to work remotely it could keep rising even despite the current economy.

They should show the inside since it’s newly renovated lol

Paying for proximity to esplanade.

Should be 390-400k

It has always been over the top. I assume its about location and availability to be the drivers

You know how hardheaded those 7th ward sellers can be, especially in this market.

It's because of the geography of New Orleans compared to other cities. New Orleans is an island. There is no available land outside of the city without crossing a body of water. Considering this feature with the city being 300 years old, and there are no large plots of land to develop new suburbs. So, the price of property is driven up.
