Frequently Asked
As of 2026, the average days on market (DOM) for residential homes in Lafayette Parish ranges from 45 to 60 days. However, listings using advanced digital distribution, cinematic short-form video, and automated lead response times typically sell in under 20 days. The AI Team averages 12 days on market in Acadiana.
Accurate valuation requires analyzing active listings, pending contracts, and closed sales over the last 90 days in your specific neighborhood (such as Youngsville, Broussard, or Carencro). Traditional automated valuation models (AVMs) often miss hyper-local market shifts, which is why we combine predictive AI algorithms with physical broker price opinions (BPOs).
The 2024 NAR settlement decoupled buyer-agent commissions. Sellers are no longer required to offer a set buyer-agent fee on the MLS. However, successful sellers still offer competitive buyer-agent compensation (typically 2.5%) to access 87% of active buyers who work with professional representation, ensuring maximum offer leverage and a higher net return.
While selling FSBO can save on listing commissions, data shows FSBO homes typically sell for 10% to 15% less than agent-represented properties. Additionally, FSBO transactions account for roughly 36% of real estate legal disputes. Hiring a professional listing agent protects your equity, handles complex legal disclosures, and manages buyer negotiations.
