Real Estate

With 2021 in the rearview mirror, we are spotting trends in the New Orleans real estate market that began appearing over the last year.

To say the last two years have been an ongoing challenge would be an understatement in any industry.

Realtors know the importance of being involved in and giving back to the communities we live in.

This year, River District Neighborhood Investors (RDNI) – an all-star team of local and national real estate, design and construction professionals – was awarded the opportunity by the Ernest N.

The annual Real Estate and Economic Forecast Symposium, presented by NOMAR and CID, presented attendees with many thought-provoking topics and considerations for both the local and national real estate market as well as our local economic outlook.

The MLS (multiple listing service) is considered among the most accurate information about a piece of real estate — and rightfully so.

Each fall, leaders from the New Orleans Metropolitan Association of Realtors and the Commercial Investment Division of NOMAR present the Economic & Real Estate Forecast Symposium.

What started out during pandemic restrictions last summer, demand for owning a pool is stronger than ever.

If you already have hurricane-fatigue, you are not alone. Last year, the New Orleans area has experienced an unprecedented number of record-breaking weather events.

We have touched on the changing needs and wants of homebuyers over the last year.

In today’s real estate market, it is extremely common for sellers to receive multiple offers on the first day their home is for sale.

If you’re considering tackling a home improvement project this year, we have a few ideas.

The decision to list a home for sale is never easy.

This is a time of year we focus on resolutions — often already struggling with a new diet or exercise plan.

While history will eventually document the chaos of 2020, let’s take a moment to look into 2021.

One phrase almost always comes up with local homebuyers – the desire to find a home that’s “quintessential” New Orleans.

According to local MLS data, as of June 30, there has been a 28% increase in sales since the low point in April.

Since New Orleans entered “Phase One” of returning to business, there has been an observable increase in real estate activity.

Let’s take a closer look at the local real estate market and discuss the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on both current trends and potential long-term changes.

While spring is often considered the “best” time to list a home, there are a few reasons you may want to consider listing this fall with school back in session.

In south Louisiana, we know the risks of flooding and the importance of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). But did you know that 29 states and the District of Columbia also have designated flood zones with homeowners who also benefit from the NFIP?

From experience, we can 100% agree that it’s imperative to be extremely thorough and comprehensive in the planning, design and development phases.

Are you feeling “over” your living room furniture or tired of your basic bedroom? Maybe you are considering testing the housing market and listing your home. Either way, we have plenty of design tips to share to bring your home into 2019.

We never planned to tackle a renovation – definitely not of one of New Orleans’ most unique homes – the personal residence of renowned architect Albert C. Ledner. But here we are, sharing our experiences with you.

Local architect Jonathan Tate and his team had a vision to redefine what living in a condo meant and have done just that with their project, Saint Thomas | Ninth. Each unit is completely detached and includes outdoor space, a porch and a gated off-street parking space.

The cooler temperatures are a perfect reminder to put your home’s best foot forward. There are many ways to bring curb appeal to your home this time of year:

Spring is often considered the best time to sell a home. BUT, did you know fall can be just as good a time to sell? Fewer properties are listed during the fall, which creates less competition in the market. Less competition can result in a faster, more profitable sale of your home.

There have been ample alerts announcing increased interest rates over the last year, so we sat down with Judy Pelitere, senior loan officer at Eustis Mortgage for a Q&A.

I finally admitted that we have outgrown our office. After months of searching for new digs, I thought of Baroness de Pontalba, perhaps New Orleans’ earliest woman entrepreneur. Born in 1798, she inherited a vast fortune at age 2 ½. Burdened with a failed marriage and salacious father-in-law who shot her four times, the Baroness was undaunted.
