But when you look closer, the data, the market realities, and the local reactions don’t all line up.In this episode of Louisiana Real Estate Talks, Courtney Fricke and Stephen Keighery break down what the study says, what it might be missing, and what this actually means for investors, homeowners, and the future of the Northshore.From affordability challenges and infrastructure concerns to blighted properties and investor opportunity, this conversation goes beyond the headlines and into what’s really happening on the ground.READ THE STUDY HERE: https://cms3.revize.com/revize/sttammanyparish/STP_CHNA_2026_c.pdf?t=202603311624180&t=202603311624180 ATTENTION:The information shared in this episode is for educational and informational purposes only and reflects personal experiences and opinions.
