📊 Lafayette Market Snapshot – October 2025
Hey Lafayette homeowners, it’s J. Ray, your favorite real estate agent, here with your October 2025 Real Estate Market Update!
September 2025 brought another strong month for the Lafayette housing market, continuing the steady momentum we’ve seen throughout the year.
🏠 Homes Sold: 305 — up 16% compared to September 2024.
⏱️ Average Days on Market: 59 days — 1% less than last year.
💲 Average Sale Price: $289,793 — up 3% from August 2025 and 26% higher than September 2019.
📦 Active Listings: 1,257 — a 4% increase year-over-year, but still 20% lower than pre-pandemic levels.
🏠 What This Means for Buyers and Sellers
✅ For Buyers:
More listings are hitting the market, and interest rates have remained stable. That means you have more options and better negotiating power. With home prices holding steady, it’s an ideal time to lock in your next home before demand picks up again.
✅ For Sellers:
With homes selling faster and prices still climbing, it’s a great time to list. Buyers are active, and inventory levels are still below pre-2020 averages, meaning your home can stand out with the right pricing and marketing strategy.
📈 The Big Picture
The Lafayette real estate market continues to show healthy growth and stability, even as we move deeper into 2025. Steady buyer activity, moderate inventory increases, and a balanced market are great signs for both homeowners and those looking to invest in Acadiana real estate.
