What counts as luxury real estate in Louisiana
The convention this site uses
In Louisiana, this site treats homes at $1M and above as luxury. That is our own fixed band, set so the covered markets are the ones where the top of the market actually trades at that level. It is not a loan limit and it is not a median; the medians below are the middle of each market, and luxury inventory trades well above them. The rule and its reasoning are on the methodology page.

Each fact links to the statute or agency that says so. Facts we could not verify against an official source are left out rather than guessed.
- Agency and dual agency
- Louisiana permits dual agency only with the informed written consent of both parties on the Commission's Dual Agency Disclosure form, and designated agency is available within a brokerage. Source
- Seller disclosure
- Louisiana sellers of residential property must complete the Real Estate Commission's Residential Property Disclosure form and deliver it to the buyer before an offer is made. Source
- State estate or inheritance tax
- Louisiana levies no state estate tax and no inheritance tax, so only the federal estate tax applies to a large estate. Source
