Primary Goal
Deliver actionable March 2026 market intelligence for Bayou Board buyers, sellers, and investors – covering headline board-wide numbers, Houma and Thibodaux city data, and a parish-by-parish breakdown of Assumption, Lafourche, St. Mary, and Terrebonne.
Summary
Clint Galliano and Ben Harang break down the March 2026 real estate numbers across the Bayou Board coverage area. Closed sales surged 33.6% year over year, pending sales are up 22.4% YTD, and the housing affordability index hit 143 – the strongest reading in recent memory. The hosts cover the headline board-wide numbers, a February-to-March momentum check, the Houma and Thibodaux city markets, and then walk through the four Bayou Board parishes. They close with a cross-parish comparison and clear takeaways for sellers, buyers, and investors deciding where to focus right now.

Sound Bites
“Closed sales surged 33.6% year over year – that's acceleration, not just momentum.”
“Houma days on market dropped from 92 to 62 in one month. That buyer leverage window is narrowing.”
“Even in a seller's market, you have to price with the comps, not the aspirations.”
“The market is absorbing affordability and rejecting aspirational pricing.”
“The question isn't 'should I wait?' anymore – it's 'which parish fits my budget, timeline, and goals?'”
