Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).
Over the latest rolling three-month period ending in September 2026, Highlands-Perkins home values are up notably from a year ago. The typical home value has climbed about 5 percent year over year, while the median list price is up a little more than 7 percent. Inventory has tightened compared with last year, with active listings down around 6 percent and months of supply dropping nearly 17 percent.
Looking more closely at recent conditions, the typical home value sits around $305,000, with a median list price near $327,000. Homes are taking about 33 days to go under contract in the current three-month window, which is roughly two weeks faster than a year ago even though it is slower than this summer. Supply is estimated at 3.4 months, below the broader Baton Rouge figure of 4.5 months, underscoring the seller’s market reading for Highlands-Perkins compared with the city overall.
Buyer and seller activity has cooled somewhat from earlier in the year, with homes sold essentially flat year over year and pending sales down slightly. Fewer properties are selling above list price than last year, and the average sale-to-list ratio has edged down to just over 96 percent, hinting that pricing has become a bit more flexible even in a seller-leaning environment. With these mixed signals of firm prices, moderate demand, and tighter inventory, both buyers and sellers can benefit from an Agent Pronto–recommended real estate agent who understands the latest Highlands-Perkins trends.

“We knew Mary was a knowledgeable and top listing agent in New Orleans/ Metairie area and would help us to sell our house quickly. She did! She also gave good guidance on what was needed to get the house ready to sell and was great to work with!”

“Agent Pronto got me in touch with Patricia Halley Conaghan. She is, hands down, one of the best real estate agents around. I am in Oregon so it was long distance relationship. The property was no where ready to sell when I first listed. Many e-mails, phone calls, texts, and photos later we were able to get this property ready to sell. She lined up contractors and oversaw the work. It did not take long to sell with some creative financing. I couldn't be happier than I am with Patricia's work and support. She is AWESOME!!”

“Selecting our realtor, Mr. Joseph Dupard, through Agent Pronto was a blessing. I needed to list some estate property and being out of state made this difficult....Mr. Joseph Dupard was the best decision. Mr. Dupard is very knowledgeable about the area, professional, prompt, provided information to help me make the best decisions, explained information in layman's terms, and was assessable. I highly recommend him because he cares about his clients and their needs. ”

“Jen Burns was the only realtor that reached out to me. She was great to work with. We inherited this house and live out of state. Jen was so helpful and patient with all of our questions. She always answered her phone or texted right back. We highly recommend Jen Burns. She made the process so easy!”

“Gina was very helpful throughout the process of preparing and selling my home. She provided honest and constructive advice and feedback with a great eye for detail. Her experience and knowledge of the current market was very helpful in pricing and negotiating during the initial phases and during offer negotiations. Even during the unknown expectations of the COVID 19 pandemic, Gina was very reassuring yet realistic. I would recommend Gina as a reliable, responsive agent.”
