Driving Factors For Louisiana Real Estate Market

Affordability

The median home value is below the national average and it’s cheaper to own a home in the state than it is to rent. As a result, there is a high demand for local real estate investors to take advantage of.

Foreclosures

Louisiana has proven to be a great place for investors to take advantage of distressed homes. With home defaults on the rise again in 2022, investors have a great opportunity to capitalize on the high profit margins from both REOs and Short Sales.

Rates Will Increase

In an attempt to slow down inflation, the Fed has announced they will increase interest rates for the immediate future. Therefore, as the rate hikes are implemented, you can expect more buyers will be looking to sell sooner rather than later.

EquityMax Insight

While Louisiana’s median home value is well below the national average at $204,414, the lack of home value growth may be a blessing in disguise. The state’s affordable buying opportunities are igniting more buying activity and enabling real estate investors to capitalize on properties and achieve higher profit margins. Additionally, foreclosures are increasing across the state so investors should pay careful attention to delinquent homeowners so they can be quick to secure quality deals with higher profit potential.

Does EquityMax prefer any particular market in Louisiana over others?

The great idea about lending in Louisiana is the diverse types of assets that we can lend on, from single family homes, to homes on acreage, to more metro investment opportunities.

Does Mardi Gras affect real estate values?

We find that any tourism-focused events have a big effect on real estate and corresponding prices.  We would find that Short-Term Rentals, especially, are going to fluctuate the most based on tourism-focused events around the state.
