The New Orleans Metro Real Estate Market is BIG TIME beating the odds after enduring the after effects of the largest natural disaster in the history of the United States. The real estate market is hot and on the upswing. Property values in several affected areas have appreciated an average of 15% from Pre-Katrina levels and market unit sale volumes are up as much as 35% over unit sales in the same period in 2005.

The rebuilding of New Orleans will represent 28 years of Pre-Katrina construction project investment which will be re-invested in this area in 3-5 years, totaling 60 billion dollars. Construction activity will be at record pace, and the real estate market will be very active. Rental properties will be in huge demand for many years to come!
