Summary
For the third straight month, South Louisiana is seeing fewer homes hit the market while closings keep rising – and in June, two parishes crossed into new categories. Terrebonne shifted from a buyer's market to balanced, and Lafourche flipped to a seller's market. Clint and Ben break down the board-wide numbers and each parish's snapshot, unpack the price paradox hiding inside one strong month, and spell out what buyers and sellers should do right now depending on where they live.
Key Topics
• Board-wide June 2026 data: new listings down 17.5%, closed sales up 23%
• Months of supply hits 5.7 – the board is edging toward balanced territory
• The price paradox: June median up 8.4% while year-to-date median is flat
• Parish snapshots: Terrebonne (balanced), Lafourche (seller’s), St. Mary & Assumption (buyer’s)
• Why national mortgage rate headlines don’t reflect FHA, USDA, and VA loan rates
• What the supply squeeze means for buyers and sellers, parish by parish
• Homework: two numbers every buyer and seller should know before making a move

“That’s the wrong question. It depends on which parish you’re standing in.”
“One strong month is not a trend.”
“The smart move depends on where you are – which is exactly why you talk to someone who knows your parish.”
“June didn’t break the streak, it doubled down.”
“When you hear a headline number, always ask: is that one month or the whole year?”
