Metairie, LA Housing Market 2026: Median Home Price & Sales Trends

What the numbers say

Resideline tracked 713 closed sales in Metairie over the last six months, with a median closing price of $349,000. That median is the midpoint of what buyers actually paid, not what sellers hoped to get, which is why it moves differently from the asking prices you see on listing sites. The middle half of those sales closed between $264,900 and $475,000. That spread matters more than the headline median: where a specific property sits inside it decides whether the citywide number helps you or misleads you. These are the closings we track, not a complete county record, so treat the count as a large sample of the market rather than every sale that happened.

The Metairie angle

Metairie is Jefferson Parish's main residential center just west of New Orleans, with a housing stock that spans postwar ranches, raised homes and newer infill. Its 713 tracked six-month closings carried a $349,000 median with the middle half from $264,900 to $475,000. Tracked monthly closings held in a fairly narrow range, running 157 in April, 129 in May and 160 in June without a strong directional move. The $210,000 spread is moderate, but elevation and flood-zone designation are the variables that most often explain where a specific property lands within it, and no citywide figure will substitute for checking those on the individual parcel.

From market read to offer price

A market read is the backdrop. The decision still comes down to one property and one number: what it is actually worth and what you should pay. Every Resideline report opens with this same market snapshot for the subject's exact ZIP code, then gives you the property's value, the sold comps behind it, and a market rent estimate. Pricing a specific deal? The free ARV calculator and rental property calculator run the numbers in about a minute.

And we show our work. Every estimate is frozen while the home is for sale and graded against the real closing price after it sells. The public scoreboard currently shows 3.21% median error across 6,276+ graded closings, across 50 states.
