I have lived in Louisiana for 25yrs. It's been run by republicans for 70% of my time here. Our infrastructure is absolute garbage.

21yrs as a mortgage loan officer. Since 2022 the homes with the most time on the market are homes over 500k. The baton rouge market is 80% first time homebuyers. Rates are not going down anytime soon. With all that said with the current price range of the OP's home its going to be a tough road. Hence why i said unless he has to sell this home its best to sit on it.

re: Epstein gets all the press, but what has happened in Iran gets ignored

China doesn't police they just do business with who ever is in power. They have been out smarting us since the day Kissenger showed up. They started the silk road project and we started a 20yr war in Iraq. You think Iran will go any different then afganistan or Iraq? If Biden was in office this board's opinion would be so different.

its not your house its the market. There is no movement on the top end of the market in baton rouge right now. Interest rates are your problem. I hate to say it but unless you have to sell that home you will need to sit on it for the next 3-5yrs

re: Trump directs cash rich Fannie/Freddie to buy $200B in mortgage bonds to drive down rates

Posted by hawkeye007 on 1/13/26 at 12:36 pm to The Pirate King

lowering interest rates will not lower prices of homes. it will make them jump up. the purpose of a 30yr mortgage is to ride the waive of values going up and down. people are spoiled and only want their house to go up. if we have a temp reduction in value due to high rates. 7-10yrs later values recover and the market is healthy. This what happened in 2008 and needs to happen again.

one thing i have learned about this board, they do not care about one damn thing as long as daddy Trump says it's ok. Any other time a govt agency was going door to door in a neighborhood they would be talking about govt over reach and the constitution.

21yrs in the mortgage business taught me that. Qua-native easing. Started after the crash of 2008. It’s what kept rates from going to 10%. So what that did was artificially inflate the housing market with cheap rates for 10yrs. So what happened? Prices went up, fast forward to 25 and lowering interest rates will continue to raise home prices . Do we really need home prices higher in the current environment?
