LA RE Talks EP 17: Will Louisiana’s $2 Billion Port DESTROY St Bernard Parish Property Values?

Will the nearly $2 billion Louisiana International Terminal cause property values in St. Bernard Parish to crash or could the massive port project actually increase demand for Real Estate?That question has become increasingly important for homeowners in Violet, Chalmette, Meraux, and throughout St. Bernard Parish as the LIT project moves closer to becoming a reality.In this episode of Louisiana Real Estate Talks, Courtney Fricke sits down with St. Bernard Parish Real Estate broker Mike Fernandez of Arpent Realty, who decided to stop guessing and actually look at the data.Mike studied communities surrounding other major ports and industrial projects, reviewed the LIT property-value study, analyzed comparable housing markets, and spoke directly with Real Estate brokers operating around similar projects.And what he found challenges some of the strongest claims being made on both sides of the Louisiana International Terminal debate.
