Reflecting on our nation's foundation, we see that it was established as a new home for our forefathers, who laid the groundwork for homeownership. This principle has been essential to our economic success and has served as the bedrock of individual independence for the past 250 years.

Happy Independence Day and let's Make Louisiana Home Again.

The decision last week by a Massachusetts Court to take a statewide rent control measure off the ballot was a win for housing providers, and it also speaks to the value of the National Association of REALTORS®’ advocacy outreach on state and local issues. https://t.co/x23ENLhNIk

𝗔𝗻𝘀𝘄𝗲𝗿: Most flood policies in Louisiana are separate insurance policies written through FEMA’s National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), although some people do have private flood insurance outside of the NFIP. Flood insurance covers instances when water enters your property from the ground up due to storm surge, heavy rainfall or overflow of a body of water. Non-flood water damage is generally covered by your homeowners insurance.

June is National Homeownership Month, and here in hashtag#Louisiana, homeownership remains one of the strongest foundations for family stability, community pride, and long-term economic growth.

Thank you to the Office of Governor Jeff Landry and the Governor himself for helping to recognize the importance of homeownership across our state. Our industry, along with our partners like the Home Builders, General Contractors, and the financial industry, has a $50 billion impact on our state through Homeownership.

Louisiana REALTORS® is proud to advocate every day for private property rights, housing affordability, consumer protection, and policies that help more Louisiana families pursue the American Dream.

When we strengthen homeownership, we strengthen Louisiana. Let's Make Louisiana Home Again.

Despite a change in leadership, the #Fed decided not to change interest rates at its June meeting yesterday. The decision came as #inflation remains elevated, jumping above 4% last month for the first time since 2023, and energy prices continue to climb. https://t.co/ML7SP0eLe6

NAHB congratulates congressional leaders for reaching a bicameral and bipartisan agreement to move forward a final version of the 21st Century Road to Housing Act. It’s time for Congress to move this historic #housing package across the finish line. https://t.co/ui7SjCSVwK
