Realty experts say Louisiana's housing market is looking better in 2026, with downward trends in mortgage rates and insurance premiums.
Dan Mills, CEO of the Home Builders Association of Greater New Orleans, says more homes are becoming available and are spending less time on the market.
Mills says more people are investing in fortified roofs that make Louisiana homes more storm-resistant.
State Senator Kirk Talbot, chair of the Senate Insurance Committee, says a dozen new companies are writing policies in Louisiana.
