So earn $20,000 to pay that $10,000 bill and that doesn't include the flood insurance rip-off. That is simply absurd. Beyond.

I would assume that a large majority of those are renters. More will be moving in.

This is a crock!

Lafayette


Median days on the market in March: 69 (tie)

Median home list price in March: $259,250
--

So if no new inventory came on the market, all would be sold in 69 Days.

That sounds like a sellers market to me.

69 days is very long from 7 days or less when markets were hot

"In general, a housing market with five to seven months of supply could be described as balanced between buyers and sellers. Supply below 5.0 months favors sellers, while supply above 7.0 months favors buyers. Based on just 2.7 months of supply, the national housing market continues to strongly favor sellers and is down from 2.8 months in February 2023."

I mean I guess, but in reality we’re still used to Covid times. Most houses go in 10 days here but diff region to region

Well. The water company fiasco for one. If you live there, you understand. The roads are taking out vehicle suspensions, but at least it’s being slowly worked on. The East Bank animal shelter has yet to go back up. Just seems things are changing there, it didn’t used to be so frustrating.

I have a neighbor, nice house, they say mortgage is paid off. They moved about an hour away to be closer to grandkids. In today's market, house is probably worth $275k max.

Listed for $450K. Over 7 months they have dropped it to $430K.

Houses are the new used cars when it comes to selling price. Cash for Clunkers made everything think their piece of shite used car was worth $10,000. Covid made everything think their house is worth double what it really is. It’s bad in Texas with what dumbasses are listing their house for.

And that’s still considered a premium to celebrate. Mine just went under $5k this renewal, or should I say new policy placement. Last year was around $7k. I’m not with them anymore.

A 1100 sq ft house can be 4k in New Orleans for home owners. That can be with a new roof, and does not include flood insurance
3000 sq ft house will be more 9k-12k. So much for Louisiana being “cheap”

Why would it get reassessed before it sells?


Property insurance goes up annually.

Sure, if you live in a hut...

I live in a decent house, nothing anywhere near O-T baller status, 2000 sq ft, and I'm paying north of 6000 now, and expect it to be well over 7000 when it renews in July.

Nothing for sale.....


There is really nothing good for sale these days. I constantly watch. It’s either crappy or out of my price range.

I have a $100k rent house or could be a starter home that is on the market for 3 months and just got an offer yesterday.

I’m in BR

Problem is that most folks can’t afford to move unless they get a premium for their house. They’re going from a sub 4% rate to 7% so they need a huge down payment to get an affordable mortgage. I’ve been keeping a close eye on the market on the Northshore and many folks aren’t budging on price and they are eventually getting it due to low inventory.
