We Buy Houses in New Orleans, LA

Selling a house for cash in New Orleans

New Orleans has one of the most distinctive — and most divided — housing markets in America. Depending on the source, the typical home value sits anywhere from about $246,000 (Zillow) to a median sale price near $370,000 (Redfin), and that gap reflects how wildly uneven the city is. Gentilly closes around $207,000–$229,000, while Lakeview and the Irish Channel run near $600,000. Homes can also sit for a long time — well over 100 days in slower segments — as soaring insurance costs squeeze buyers.

We buy houses for cash across the whole city: no realtor commissions, no repairs, no waiting on a buyer’s financing or insurance in a market where deals routinely stall.

What makes New Orleans different

A few local realities shape how we work here:

• Flood and storm history. Decades after Katrina, flood disclosures, elevation requirements, and unfinished rebuilds are everywhere — especially in Gentilly, the Lower Ninth, and the East. We buy these homes anyway.
• Insurance crisis. New Orleans homeowners face some of the highest property-insurance premiums in the nation, which kills affordability for retail buyers.
• Old, complex housing stock. Shotgun houses, Creole cottages, and century-old doubles often come with title and succession tangles. We handle them.

Common reasons New Orleans homeowners sell to us

New Orleans creates its own set of situations: flood- and storm-damaged homes owners can’t afford to rebuild, properties that have become uninsurable or unaffordable to insure, inherited shotgun and Creole houses tangled in succession, and out-of-state owners tired of managing a property from afar. Whatever the reason, we make a no-obligation cash offer within 24 hours.
