Summary
Ben Harang and Clint Galliano break down September 2026's numbers from the Bayou Board of REALTORS®: inventory down 17%, months of supply tightening, and the median sales price up nearly 12% for the month. They explain why a single month's headline can be misleading, what a softer month of pending sales could mean for October and November closings, and what buyers and sellers across Lafourche, Terrebonne, Assumption, and St. Mary parishes should do right now.

Sound Bites
“September's numbers are in, and if you read only one headline, you'd think our market just took off. Look a little closer.”
“Inventory's down seventeen percent from last September – fewer homes chasing buyers.”
“Get pre-approved before you start looking, because inventory's thinner.”
“Price it right the first time, because buyers out there are watching the numbers too.”
