A few notes about the pricing data:

  • All the sales information comes from the database of homes listed as sold by the Gulf South Real Estate Information Network.
  • The information is entered by many hundreds of listing agents and brokers, so we consider the data to be generally accurate but do not and cannot guarantee that it is exactly accurate.
  • These charts and tables should be regarded as general guides to trends in Metro New Orleans real estate and not as specific recommendations on the worth of individual homes. Each situation has its own variables, and it pays to have an experienced professional to determine the market value of any property prior to undertaking a transaction.
  • Multi-family homes used in this study contain four or fewer units.
