Broussard / Youngsville, LA – How does Acadiana compare to the national housing market? May’s numbers show our local
communities moving at a strong pace, with pricing well below the national median.
Pricing: A Clear Value Advantage
The national median existing-home price hit a record $429,300 in May. Locally, Broussard homes
averaged $360,025 and Youngsville averaged $359,494, roughly $70,000 below the national figure.
That’s a real affordability edge for buyers.
Sales Activity
Nationally, existing-home sales rose 3.2% both month-over-month and year-over-year. Youngsville
kept pace with 76 homes sold out of 285 listed. Broussard saw 31 sales out of 118 listed, a steadier but
still active market.
Days on Market
Homes nationally were taking around 41 days to sell. Youngsville tracked close behind at 78 days,
while Broussard ran a bit longer at 80.4 days. Well-priced homes are still moving, but sellers should
plan for a slightly longer timeline than the national average.
Absorption Rate
National inventory sits around 4.5 months of supply. Broussard’s absorption rate of 3.69 points to a
tighter, more seller-favorable market. Youngsville’s 5.07 leans toward a more balanced market.
The Bottom Line
Both Broussard and Youngsville offer strong value compared to the national market, with lower prices
and solid buyer activity. But real estate is hyper-personal. Your home, your neighborhood, and your
goals don’t fit neatly into any average.
