The Orleans Parish housing market in May 2026
Prices in Orleans Parish edged up to a median of $355,000 in May 2026, 1.7% higher than a year earlier. Homes listed that month had a median asking price of $339,500, and sold for a median of $208 per square foot. The average sale closed at 95.5% of asking price, a sign that buyers are negotiating; just 14% of homes sold above list.
There were 2,168 homes for sale at the end of May, down 17% from a year earlier, or 5.8 months of supply, close to balanced. The typical home that sold had been listed for 54 days, 12 days less than a year earlier. 24% of homes went under contract within two weeks of listing. Compared with May 2025, owners listed 22% fewer homes and sales were up 7%.
27% of listings had a price cut in May 2026 (2.5 points fewer than a year earlier), a moderate share.
For FSBO outreach, this means owners who price well still sell on their own, while those who overprice start to sit, and they are the ones most open to help. The trend to watch: fewer homes for sale than a year ago and faster sales than last year.

Orleans Parish since 2019
The median sale price averaged about $351,000 from March to May 2026, up 23% from about $286,000 in the same months of 2019.
Prices peaked at about $373,000 (three-month average) in the three months to June 2022 and are now about 6% below that high. Owners who bought near the peak may have little equity, which leaves them less room to cut their price.
There are more homes for sale than before the pandemic: about 2,270 in an average month in spring 2026, against 1,840 in spring 2019, 24% more.
In spring 2026 the median time on market averaged about 80 days, 13 days longer than in spring 2019 (68 days).
Owners are listing about 6% fewer homes a month than they did in spring 2019.
For FSBO outreach, that means more Orleans Parish owners are competing for buyers than before the pandemic, and more of them are likely to need help.
When Orleans Parish homeowners list
Listing activity is strongly seasonal in Orleans Parish. Over the three years to May 2026, new listings peaked in March and April, with April running about 31% above the monthly average, and bottomed out in December, about 40% below it. Homes that sold in May had spent the least time on the market (a median of about 65 days), and those that sold in February the most (about 107 days).
Have your list, scripts and mail pieces ready by February, so you reach new FSBO owners in their first weeks. Sales are slowest around February, so FSBO owners still on the market then have often been waiting for months and tend to be the most open to help.

Working Orleans Parish FSBO leads
- Flag small multifamily owners. Two-to-four-unit buildings made up 23% of sales in Orleans Parish, at a median $350,000 in May 2026. Owners of these often weigh an offer against the rent they collect, so bring rent and return figures.
- Use the 54-day mark. Half of the Orleans Parish homes that sold in May 2026 had been listed 54 days or less, so an FSBO still for sale after that is likely stalling.
- Bring the numbers. On a $355,000 home, each 1% of commission is about $3,550, the money most FSBO owners are trying to keep, so a net-sheet comparison lands better than a pitch.
- Mind the equity. Prices are about 6% below their June 2022 peak, so owners who bought around 2022 may owe close to what the home is worth; check the purchase date in county records before suggesting a price cut.
- Stay compliant and verify. Stop contacting any owner who says "no agents" or "no investors", confirm ownership and liens in Orleans Parish records before an offer, and add skip tracing for records without a phone number.
