Louisiana's FHFA all-transactions House Price Index runs from 1975 through 2025. The state-level HPI, rebased to 100 in 2000, stood at 207.8 at the latest reading. Cumulative nominal appreciation since 2000: +107.8%.
The 2007–2011 housing crisis cut the Louisiana HPI by 4.1% peak-to-trough — from 145.8 in 2008 to 139.8 in 2011. The U.S. national HPI fell roughly 21% over the same window, so Louisiana's drawdown was milder than the national average.
The pandemic-era surge brought Louisiana's HPI from 166.4 in 2019 to 207.8 in 2025 — a +24.8% cumulative gain in 6 years, running below the national pace.
Louisiana sits in the South census region of the United States. Long-run state-level home-price appreciation reflects regional employment patterns, in-migration flows, and supply constraints. State-level FHFA series can mask significant intra-state divergence — see the linked metro pages below for sub-state breakdowns where available.

Methodology
The FHFA House Price Index is a weighted, repeat-sales index that measures average price changes in repeat sales or refinancings on the same single-family properties. The all-transactions index incorporates both purchase mortgages and refinance appraisals; the index is calibrated to the South census region and rebased to 100 in the year 2000.
