ZIP 70115 Housing Market & Real Estate Update — February 22, 2026

ZIP 70115 (New Orleans, Orleans Parish) continues to show mixed signals depending on which dashboard you trust: sale medians look higher year-over-year, but days-to-sell and sale-to-list ratios suggest buyers still have leverage.

Top takeaways

Prices: Redfin’s January 2026 ZIP snapshot shows a median sale price of about $643K, up 14.5% year over year.
Speed: Redfin also shows homes taking a median 53 days to sell in January (slower than last year).

Market snapshot

Closed-sale view (Redfin): In January 2026, Redfin reports 96 homes sold in 70115 (down from 114 a year earlier) alongside the higher median sale price. Fewer sales plus longer market time can mean buyers are being choosier at today’s monthly payments.

Listing view : Realtor.com’s ZIP overview (reporting period December 2025) shows a median listing price of $499K, about 229 active listings, and a median 89 days on market, with homes selling around 96% of list on average. That combination reads more ‘buyer-balanced’ than ‘bidding-war’.

Value trend (Zillow): Zillow’s Home Value Index for 70115 pegs typical values around $508K, down 1.9% over the past year, and also posts a modest positive one-year forecast. Differences across these sources usually come from timing, what property types dominate recent closings, and how each site models the market.

Rentals & mortgage-rate reality check

Rent snapshots are steadier than sales, but the rent-vs-buy decision still hinges on financing. Even small mortgage-rate moves can swing a payment meaningfully at 70115 price points, so shoppers may want to compare multiple lenders and ask sellers about credits for rate buydowns or repairs.
