Shreveport, LA Housing Market 2026: What Homes Actually Sell For

Shreveport produces a steady stream of closings but little consensus: sales over the last six months span a range wide enough that the median is a midpoint between different markets, not a going rate. The distribution below matters more than the headline.

The snapshot

• •Closings tracked, last 6 months: 1,091
• •Median sold price, last 6 months: $199,000
• •Median sold $/sqft, last 6 months: $115
• •Middle half of sales closed between: $129,900 and $285,000

What the numbers say

Resideline tracked 1,091 closed sales in Shreveport over the last six months, with a median closing price of $199,000. 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 $129,900 and $285,000. 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 Resideline tracks and may differ from complete county or municipal records. The large tracked sample provides substantial market-level evidence. 91% of the Shreveport closings we track here are single-family houses, so these figures primarily reflect that segment, and the citywide $/sqft figure primarily reflects that segment as well. Across the 1,089 closings with usable living area, the middle half sold between $86 and $140 per square foot.

Where Shreveport sale prices land

Medians hide the shape of a market. The distribution above covers the closed sales Resideline tracked in Shreveport over the last six months that carry a usable sale date, trimmed to the 5th through 95th percentile, with the middle half of sales closing between $129,900 and $285,000. Among the 28 Louisiana markets with a published band, Shreveport's middle-half spread ($129,900 to $285,000) ranks 21st from the narrowest. Where your target property sits inside that spread matters more than the citywide median. Measured as the ratio of the upper to the lower quartile, its middle-half spread ranks in the 85th percentile of the 2,187 US markets in Resideline's national Market Watch set, on data as of September 4, 2026.

How long a sale takes here

• •Listed to under contract: a median of 33 days, across 750 Shreveport closings Resideline tracked in the last six months
• •Contract to closing: a median of 27 days, across 674 Shreveport closings Resideline tracked in the last six months

The Shreveport angle

Shreveport's closed-sale spread runs wider than most markets we track, which puts the burden on comp selection. Across 1,091 closings Resideline tracked over the last six months, the median closed sale price was $199,000, and the middle half of sales closed between $129,900 and $285,000. The band is only slightly lopsided, with a little more room above the median than below, so the main risk is width rather than direction.

From market read to offer price

A spread this wide means the citywide number cannot price a specific address; the step that matters is the property-level read. 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, so it cannot be revised once the sale price is known. Grading it is a different matter in Louisiana: because sale prices are not public record here, a confirmed closing price reaches us for only a small share of Louisiana homes, and most Louisiana estimates stay frozen and ungraded. The accuracy scoreboard is therefore a national record rather than a Louisiana one. See the live accuracy dashboard for the receipts, or read how the Area Market Snapshot works.

Run any Shreveport address through Resideline and you will see the local market and the property's value together, in one report.
