Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Mar 2026 - May 2026).
Central City’s rolling three-month numbers show a market with plenty of options for buyers. Active listings are up more than 30% from a year ago, and months of supply has climbed to about 18, far above the 6.6 months seen across New Orleans overall. At the same time, pending sales and new listings are both up more than 60% year over year, signaling more homes moving into and through the pipeline.
Pricing has been adjusting alongside this surge in inventory. The typical home value over the rolling period is up around 6% compared with a year ago, but list prices have risen at a slower pace and the average sale-to-list ratio has slipped to just above 93%. Only a small share of homes, about 5%, are closing above the asking price, highlighting that buyers often have room to negotiate.
Homes are taking longer to sell in this snapshot, with the median days on market stretching close to six months, a marked increase from earlier periods. That slower pace, combined with higher supply, points to conditions that lean toward buyers even though the broader New Orleans area still shows signs of a seller’s market. Whether you are a buyer trying to sort through more choices or a seller aiming to price correctly in this evolving environment, Agent Pronto can connect you with a local Central City agent who understands these trends.

“April Lewis was a gift from God. Her knowledge of the DFW area market was evident from the beginning. She provided excellent advice on staging, pricing the property perfectly, and her marketing strategy brought in a winning offer in record time. What truly sets April apart from the other local realtors is her communication dedication and her faith in the power of prayer. She was always available to answer questions (except during church), she kept me well informed every step of the way, and masterfully handled negotiations to ensure things moved along as smoothly and quickly as possible. I highly recommend her and I'm confident that she will be every bit a blessing to anyone fortunate enough to have the gift of her representation, as she was to me.”

“Bjorn Quaden was referred to our family by a Real Estate Broker we had worked with in the past, who has since retired. Bjorn impressed us from the beginning with his knowledge about homes in general and the Real Estate market/business in particular.

Our family home sold in a short time period and we are very satisfied with the sale.

She did an outstanding job helping us sell our home for top dollar while also guiding us through the process of building our new home.

She was always available to answer questions, provide advice, and advocate for us along the way.
