Summary
Is St. Tammany Parish really in a housing shortage… or is the situation more complicated than the headlines suggest? A new 400+ page study claims the parish needs between 11,500 and 17,000 new housing units by 2030 —with the majority expected to be rentals. 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.
