BR has probably been less impacted economically. Crime is terrible in both places now.
This state was probably one of the worst positioned to not get severely impacted by these shutdowns. Our leaders should have been trying to reopen asap like some others.

Eh, I don't really disagree, but the housing market is booming. Neighbor just threw down 1.6 to buy a place with no intent of moving.
My neighbor just paid $900k for a place on Prytania that needs another $400k in updating just to have a place there. Yeah that’s not a real estate investment I’d be willing to gamble on.

I have to disagree.
New Orleans is a fine old lady, in her early 100s, who is being sexually tortured while we,powerless, are forced to watch .

Yeah, we just need tourism and conventions and that has been totally cut off. Locals don't spend much money in the city. JBE and Latoya will be begging Biden for money. I just don't see LA being that high on the bail out priority list. And even if it is, most of the money will end up in people's pockets.

Yeah, I was sweating an investment this time last year. Now it seems logical and I feel justifed. I passed on several options that I somewhat regret. Never thought the market from 2018 would get better.
Granted, shite changes really quick so who knows what happens.
According to HGTV the neighbor paid $1.1M so the hood isn't going to shite.

I know I’m torn. I’m gonna wait a few more months then throw a for sale sign in the yard and see what happens.
After we sold our first place and put the second one on the market, at the open house, a realtor (not ours) said,"You really want to sell this before summer. People shopping for houses in summer are in really bad moods from the heat and humidity." We sold that one in April (and didn't have to pay to AC it all summer long.)

Depends on where on Prytania and the size of the house. What’s she going use it for and how long does she plan to keep it?
There’s a lot a variables you’re leaving out

Yes bc SWB (which always makes me think Sewage and Water Board) didn’t go all Latoya on Baton Rouge - thankfully.
As for crime - I think it’s always been bad in spells - it just happens to be in our faces more than ever before

How’s the job market? Any new companies moving in or expanding?

The NOLA snobs will inform you that their upscale neighborhoods are fine so that means the entire city is fine and you're exaggerating because you're a backwoods bumpkin who doesn't know how big cities function.

Funny you say that, I’ve bought and sold all my properties in nola either in the early Spring or Fall

When you support terrible liberal ideas , then add a job market which is 65% dependent on tourism.
Look la toya hgets a bad rap this city was in a nose dive before she took office, she just dosnt have a clue on how to run her own finances mutch lest a fledgling city.

I expected worse from her tbh. She's actually been relatively reasonable from a Covid standpoint. She's mostly just followed the state guidelines.

Name a city not named New Orleans and let’s see what the answers are.

Apparently it is the new 'working from home' people that are driving the sales.
The actual professional market is shite in NOLA right now. Everyone expected the market to collapse with STRs getting outlawed and the opposite is happening. Wild.

Most major cities have more than one Fortune 500 company and 10 publicly traded companies
The housing bubble is great for Airbnb, I guess

Thanks to the automobile, It’s very easy to take advantage of everything positive the city offers while still living in a place that has a functioning government.

Jobs are scarce. I work for one of the larger companies in the city. If they left, I would have to move to keep up my lifestyle. Seems like law and medical are plentiful, but not much of anything else.

Airbnb is not a good business plan in nola. There are empty Airbnb houses all over the city. The new rules and Covid has crushed that
