Information and statistics on the latest trends in the St. Landry Parish real estate market, updated for April 2026. *
St. Landry Parish is seeing a moderate level of activity, with 197 homes on the market and 54 new listings in March 2026. Buyers are writing contracts at a solid pace, with 69 pending sales, even as overall inventory has fallen 11.26% month over month and 5.29% year over year. With 4.5 months of supply, conditions still lean toward sellers, reflected in a market gauge of 29 and a seller's market label.
Pricing is adjusting as these supply and demand patterns play out. The typical home value is about $165,000, down 10.81% from last year and 4.35% from the previous month, and below the Louisiana typical value of $259,700. At the same time, the median list price has climbed to $237,000, jumping 31.67% month over month, and is projected to reach $265,500 next month even as typical values are expected to edge down to $161,250. This mix suggests sellers are testing higher asking prices while overall valuation trends move downward.
Homes are taking time to sell, spending a median of 100 days on the market, which is nearly 10% faster than last month but still 19.05% slower than a year ago. Around 33% of listings see a price drop, only about 9% of sales close above list, and the average sale-to-list ratio is 0.96, all pointing to buyers negotiating meaningful discounts. Inventory is projected to dip further to 184 homes, so both sides will need to watch local trends closely. Whether you are a buyer trying to navigate shifting prices or a seller aiming to stand out in this environment, Agent Pronto can connect you with a skilled local agent to guide your next move.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.
St. Landry Parish offers residents a welcoming, close-knit community with rich cultural traditions, abundant outdoor and recreational opportunities, strong local businesses, and a practical, affordable quality of life.
St. Landry Parish stands apart from nearby Lafayette and Acadia Parish with a deeper rural heritage, a strong Creole and Cajun identity, and a pace that still feels authentically small town. In Opelousas, the parish seat, you will find historic homes near the Evangeline Downs Racetrack & Casino and cultural institutions like the Opelousas Museum & Interpretive Center, reflecting centuries of local history.
Smaller communities such as Eunice and Sunset offer a close community feel with local shops, family-owned restaurants, and regular festivals that highlight music and food. Outdoor enthusiasts appreciate the quiet bayous, nearby Louisiana Orphan Train Museum grounds, and parish parks that create opportunities for fishing, walking, and weekend gatherings. Families look to neighborhood schools and cultural programs, like those connected to the St. Landry Parish School Board, when deciding where to put down roots.
Housing options range from historic cottages in older neighborhoods to newer construction outside town centers, along with rural acreage that appeals to those seeking more space than in Lafayette. As the market shifts with regional growth, timing and preparation are essential. Whether you are planning to buy into this enduring community or sell and move on to your next chapter, Agent Pronto connects you with an agent who understands St. Landry Parish and can help you move at the right pace.

“Tracy was wonderful to work with. She was accessible at all times. Even for my silly questions and my important ones. Overall, I was very satisfied and very happy with the outcome of the sale of my house. I would use her again to buy to buy a new home. She's very much the professional Realtor.”
“Fred was/is very attentive to our needs for certain amenities in our home. He is very responsive with communication and made the buying process easy and understandable for us as first-time buyers.”
“I work with dozens of agents across the country each month, and Melissa stands out as one of the best I’ve had the pleasure of partnering with. She delivers a high level of professionalism and polished representation in every interaction. Her advice is consistently honest, thoughtful, and precise, which adds real value throughout the transaction. Melissa also excels in deal management—keeping everything on track while maintaining clear, consistent communication among all parties to ensure timelines are met. A true professional and a strong asset to any client or team. Would highly recommend to friends & family.”
“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!!”
“Melanie Cook was very responsive and also answer any questions you may ask..She will walk you through every step of the way”
“Very easy to use. The agent selected was Anna Dunn. She was perfect. She was helpful and helped me the entire way.”
“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.”
“Scott Delhom took great care of us both with the sale of our old home & the purchase of our new home. Our experience with Scott was so wonderful that I referred my parents to him & he helped them find a new home also. I would highly recommend Scott Delhom for all of anyone’s realtor needs.”
