Or...everyone who wanted to return has done so by now, and the population has leveled off. No reason to find any great cause for an insignificant 1000 person drop over several years.

Link?

I know census estimates show EBRP down a few K. Granted just estimates. I'd guess many to LP, AP or out of state.

No maybe about it. Have you seen the high rent prices and housing prices in warehouse district and uptown?

To be honest I don’t know anyone leaving New Orleans for the northshore. The population leaving New Orleans right now does tend to be on the poorer side. The real estate prices are insane here.

I've found that cities tend to attract the wealthy that either don't have kids or can afford not to send them to school with the poor kids and the poor that are dependent on government services and transportation. The middle class largely live in the suburbs.

Yes. Rent has gone down. Until the last month real estate has been extremely stagnant. Supply is way up.

Compared to 3 years ago the market is at a standstill.

The majority of the houses on the market are people just testing it and not really wanting to sell or if they do sell they’re just going to buy something else in the city.

I don’t really see many people moving out of the city, mostly just moving around.

This is what happens when you drive business out of your state.

Agree with that.

It's strange that two +750k houses have sold on my block in less than a month, but a block away took 6 months for a 300k house to sell. Granted, no one will move into the 750k houses just like the other ones in the neighborhood.

I agree the supply is out of control

There are probably 15-20 houses on just my stretch with for sale signs. I know if these people sell they aren’t leaving the city. They just want to see what they can get.

I’m even tempted to put a sign in front of my house just to see.

If I see houses start to sell around me then you’re damn right I’m going to put a sign, but I don’t see much selling. A few but not many.

Full disclosure, sold mine for almost 20k over appraisal and am just moving to a better part of the city.

Have been following the market really close for about the last 6 years. The realtors I have been working with just seem confused as to how to read what is going on.

It’s all about finding that perfect price point/location.

I didn't think they counted statues in the census.

New Orleans lost 200,000 residents between 1960 and 1980.

That’s more than it lost after Katrina.

Someone had a hardon for my place. Was off the market for two weeks and they were still making offers.
