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

If you invest in or around Sulphur, the number that matters is what homes actually close for, not what sellers are asking. Here is what Sulphur sale prices look like right now, built from the closings Resideline tracked over the last six months, as of October 2026.

The snapshot

• •Closings tracked, last 6 months: 149
• •Median sold price, last 6 months: $199,900
• •Median sold $/sqft, last 6 months: $117
• •Middle half of sales closed between: $139,900 and $239,500

One thing to know about Louisiana data: Louisiana is a non-disclosure state, which means sale prices are not public record. The sold figures above come from closings Resideline tracked directly.

What the numbers say

Resideline tracked 149 closed sales in Sulphur over the last six months, with a median closing price of $199,900. 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 $139,900 and $239,500. 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. 95% of the Sulphur 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 146 closings with usable living area, the middle half sold between $98 and $138 per square foot.

Where Sulphur sale prices land

Medians hide the shape of a market. The distribution above covers the closed sales Resideline tracked in Sulphur 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 $139,900 and $239,500. Among the 28 Louisiana markets with a published band, Sulphur's middle-half spread ($139,900 to $239,500) ranks 10th from the narrowest. Where your target property sits inside that spread matters more than the citywide median.

How long a sale takes here

• •Listed to under contract: a median of 44 days, across 108 Sulphur closings Resideline tracked in the last six months
• •Contract to closing: a median of 35 days, across 103 Sulphur closings Resideline tracked in the last six months

Both are measured from the closings themselves, not from listing inventory. Each sale is timed using its own listing and contract dates. That is why these counts are smaller than the 149 closings above: a sale is counted here only when we hold both of its dates.

The Sulphur angle

Sulphur asks for a careful balance. Thinner samples mean each comp matters more. A set of a few sales can move an answer substantially, so build from the closest matches you can find and be explicit about how much material sits behind the conclusion. When you need more, widen the closing window or the radius before you compromise on property type or size. The lower half of the band, from $139,900 up to $199,900, is the wider side. Treat $199,900 as indicative rather than precise.

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, rehab cost estimator, BRRRR 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 Sulphur address through Resideline and you will see the local market and the property's value together, in one report.
