Shreveport-bossier City Housing Market Finds Balance

The Shreveport-Bossier City metro housing market demonstrated active price discovery mechanisms during the week ending Nov. 7, 2025, with 96 homes absorbed compared to 69 new listings entering the market. This 27-home absorption advantage occurred as 37.5% of the metro’s 1,413 active listings showed price reductions, indicating sellers are adjusting expectations to meet buyer demand at the $250,000 median price point.

The Louisiana metro’s median list price sits 10.7% below the state median of $279,900 and 42.2% under the national median of $432,980. At $130 per square foot, Shreveport-Bossier City properties price 13.7% below Louisiana’s $150.7 average and 38.8% under the national $212.3 figure, creating distinct affordability advantages in the regional market.

Inventory dynamics favor buyers despite absorption strength

Active inventory totaled 1,413 single-family homes, translating to 3.8 months of supply based on current absorption rates. While this exceeds the national 2.5-month average, it remains close to Louisiana’s 3.4-month level. The 69 new weekly listings represent a manageable flow of fresh inventory that buyers are readily absorbing.

Properties spent a median 84 days on market before going under contract, moving 14 days faster than Louisiana’s 98-day median but trailing the national 77-day pace. The neutral market conditions reflect balanced dynamics between supply and demand forces.

Price adjustments drive transaction velocity

Beyond the 37.5% of listings with price cuts, only 0.9% of active inventory increased asking prices during the week. The 9.4% relisted rate indicates most properties finding buyers without needing to exit and re-enter the market, suggesting functional price discovery rather than distressed conditions.

Regional affordability maintains market liquidity

The Shreveport-Bossier City metro’s ability to absorb 39.1% more homes than new weekly supply demonstrates how lower price points sustain transaction activity. While pricier metros face inventory buildups, this Louisiana market’s $250,000 median creates accessible entry points that keep properties moving.
