New Orleans Real Estate: What You Need To Know This Weekend
8 listings, two parishes, one price point! Plus Tremé, VA benefits, and this week's deals
Hope everyone had a meaningful Memorial Day weekend. Grateful to call this city and country home.
This week’s newsletter covers a lot of ground. We broke down the three VA benefits veterans and their families should be using right now. We took a deep dive into Tremé: every asset class, current data, no fluff. We compared 8 active listings across New Orleans and the Northshore at the same price point and the themes that emerged might surprise you. And the Deals of the Week are in, no guarantees they’re still available by the time you read this 😉.
Let’s get into it.
What $549,000 Is Really Buying in 2026
Comparing the Northshore and New Orleans can be a head scratcher, especially at a price point of $550,000. New Orleans at this price buys neighborhood identity where the Northshore can buy you newer construction and a more predictable cost picture.

Tremé is the oldest African American neighborhood in the country. That’s not marketing language, it’s documented history.
VA Home Buying Benefits in Louisiana: Everything Veterans and Their Families Need to Know in 2026
My grandfather served in the Air Force. He always referred to his time in the military as “the service.” Never to ingratiate his ego or elicit gratitude from others. It was simply a chapter in his life that he looked on as a duty.
🍽️ This weekend Susie and I are looking forward to trying N7 with friends.
