Louisiana’s Buy-Side Real Estate Market: Q2 2026 Analysis

Market Snapshot: Q2 2026

Louisiana's active inventory declined through Q2 2026, falling from 20,955 listings in April to 20,021 by June. Months of supply held at 4.7 in April and May before edging to 4.8 in June. The supply scale provides useful context: below 4 months typically signals a seller's market, where demand tends to exceed available inventory; the 4 to 6 month range characterizes a balanced market; above 6 months, conditions tend to favor buyers. At 4.7 to 4.8 months, Louisiana operated in balanced market territory throughout Q2 2026, with supply and absorption closer to equilibrium than in most states in this quarter's national dataset.

Median sale prices held near $260K through April and May before reaching $265K in June. Days on market registered 64 days in April before declining to 59 in both May and June, a meaningful improvement within the quarter reflecting somewhat faster absorption as the period progressed.

Compared to Q2 2025, Louisiana's supply tightened meaningfully. Months of supply ended June 2026 at 4.8, down 0.5 months from the 5.3 reading in June 2025. Active inventory declined 7.4% year over year, the primary driver of the tighter reading. Median prices rose 1.2% from June 2025, a modest gain in a market where inventory reduction has not yet produced the price acceleration seen in states with tighter supply conditions. Days on market came in 3 days below the June 2025 reading of 62, a real but modest improvement.

Top 25 Buyer's Agents and Teams: Q2 2026 Rankings

Agent Pronto/CINC has ranked Louisiana's top 25 buyer's agents and teams based on total transaction volume in Q2 2026. This proprietary buy-side data reveals the high-volume operators and market specialists who dominate Louisiana's diverse real estate market.

What the Data Shows

Louisiana's Q2 2026 top 25 is concentrated primarily in the Greater Baton Rouge metropolitan area, which accounts for the large majority of confirmed transaction addresses and most of the field's volume operators. The Baton Rouge market's southeast corridor generates the state's highest individual transaction values. Secondary markets include Lake Charles in southwest Louisiana, the Shreveport-Bossier City area in the northwest, and scattered south Louisiana communities including Napoleonville, Saint Francisville and the False River recreation area. Louisiana's top 25 is the first state in this quarter's national dataset where no agent or team carries a median above $1 million; the field's highest median of $955K falls just below that threshold.

The field is defined primarily by consistent volume across Baton Rouge and Louisiana's accessible price segments. Saun A Sullivan and Cathy Davis each lead with 36 closings, Sullivan at a $275K median and Davis at $200K. LaRhonda Thomas contributed 25 closings at $237K, Laura Buck Smith added 23 at $290K, and Tammi Montgomery closed 19 transactions at $250K. Tyler C LaBauve contributed 17 closings at $261K, Rae D Broussard added 13 at $300K, and Remy Curry closed 12 at $298K. Geneva M Harris contributed 14 closings at $254K, and Stephen G Couvillion added 10 at $268K. These agents and teams account for the field's highest closing counts across Louisiana's most active residential price segments.

A smaller group reaches the top 25 through fewer transactions at higher price points, concentrated in Baton Rouge's most exclusive residential corridors. Ruthie J Golden closed 5 transactions at a $940K median, the highest in Louisiana's Q2 top 25, with confirmed addresses including a $3.025M property on South Muirfield Circle and a $1.499M closing on West Augusta Drive in the Baton Rouge southeast corridor. Carolyn S Webber contributed 3 closings at a $750K median, with her highest transaction a $2.625M Saint George property. Jennifer Waguespack closed 12 transactions at a $511K median, with two confirmed closings at the Country Club Place address in Baton Rouge among her highest-value sales. Larry Turner reached rank 8 through 6 closings at a $640K median, including a $2.225M Lake Charles property, the field's clearest confirmed transaction outside the Baton Rouge corridor. Heather D Kirkpatrick contributed 6 closings at a $685K median in the Baton Rouge area. Tricia M Broussard closed 4 transactions at a $955K median, the second-highest in the field.

Median prices across the full top 25 run from $200K to $955K, and closing counts from 3 to 36. With every agent and team in the field carrying a sub-$1M median, Louisiana's top 25 is the most uniformly accessible in the national Q2 dataset. Dollar-volume bias operates even at these price levels: Ruthie J Golden's 5 closings at a $940K median produced comparable total volume to agents and teams closing 23 or more transactions at accessible price points. As with all dollar-volume rankings, the top 25 reflects the high-producing end of Louisiana's buyer's agent and team landscape rather than a cross-section of the full market.

Conclusion

Louisiana's Q2 2026 market tightened against the prior year: inventory down 7.4%, months of supply down 0.5 months from June 2025, while remaining in balanced market territory with absorption at 59 days on market. Prices grew a modest 1.2% year over year. The top 25 buyer's agents and teams who performed within that environment reflect a Baton Rouge-centric field where high-volume operators at accessible price points define the rankings, alongside specialists whose transactions in the Baton Rouge southeast corridor and Louisiana's regional markets approach the state's near-luxury ceiling. Agent Pronto/CINC's Q2 2026 rankings capture both approaches across Louisiana's active buyer's agent and team landscape.
