BROUSSARD / YOUNGSVILLE, LA (July 14, 2025) – The Acadiana housing market continues to evolve as we look at the June 2025 data for both Broussard and Youngsville. While the national real estate scene shows signs of softening due to elevated interest rates, local markets tell a slightly different story!
Youngsville Market Trends
Youngsville saw a notable increase in inventory from May to June, climbing from 229 to 239 active listings. While more homes hit the market, both pending contracts and closed sales declined, suggesting a temporary cooling in buyer urgency.
One of the most striking changes is the spike in the average list price — up nearly 38% month- over-month signaling a surge in higher-end homes entering the market. However, the average sold price only increased by about 2%, indicating buyers are still price-conscious and negotiating deals.
Despite this, Youngsville remains healthy in terms of speed. The average days on market dropped from 102.6 to 92.2, and the list-to-sale price ratio held steady at 97.2%. The slight rise in absorption rate also reflects a market moving with reasonable pace.
Broussard Market Trends
In Broussard, the number of homes under contract rose significantly, while total sales dipped. This may point to more transactions closing in July as deals move through the pipeline. Inventory remained stable, and homes sold faster with the average days on market falling from 93 to 86.5.
List prices in Broussard jumped more than 25%, while sold prices actually declined by over 5%. This gap suggests sellers may be adjusting expectations upward faster than buyers are willing to pay potentially leading to more negotiation or price reductions in coming weeks.
Encouragingly, the list-to-sale ratio improved slightly, and buyer activity remains strong, reflected by the higher number of pending contracts.
National Market Comparison
Nationally, the housing market is seeing a gradual cooldown. According to the National Association of Realtors, the median U.S. home price in June was approximately $419,300. Inventory has increased year-over-year, but many buyers are being cautious as mortgage rates hover around 6.75%.
While Broussard and Youngsville have slower average sales cycles than the national average of 44 days, they also offer greater affordability and localized stability. The national absorption rate is just under three months, which still signals a seller’s market — but not as strongly as what we’re seeing in Acadiana.
Looking Ahead: What to Expect Over the Next 60 Days
As we move deeper into the summer season:
- Youngsville is expected to see more listings, especially in the mid-to-upper price range. If list prices continue to climb without corresponding increases in sold prices, buyers may push back, leading to more price adjustments.
- Broussard will likely experience a rebound in closed sales due to the sharp rise in pending contracts. Sellers may need to recalibrate pricing expectations to align with buyer demand.
- Overall, both markets remain attractive for buyers seeking value and variety, while sellers still have the advantage provided they price strategically.
