What Does $300K Get You in Shreveport?

If you have a home shopping budget of $300,000 and you’re looking for an affordable, culturally rich, historic Lousiana city, Shreveport is for you.

We think so! In a recent post, we covered our top pros and cons of buying a home in Shreveport. Pros include a low cost of living, gorgeous historical homes, and endless opportunities for entertainment. Cons include that darned humidity, climate change risk, and crime.

Crime appears in so many headlines across the nation, it can be hard to feel like any city is truly safe. But in Shreveport, hope is blooming. A recent report in the Shreveport Times showed that Shreveport’s overall crime rate, including violent crime, has declined in the last quarter. Thanks to the efforts and innovative strategies of community groups, city officials, and law enforcement, Shreveport is becoming safer—providing one more reason to buy a home here.

Shreveport is currently in a seller’s market, meaning that there are more buyers looking for a home than there are homes available. In this type of market, sellers usually enjoy more negotiating power, and homes sell faster and at a higher price.

In the last few months, those conditions have begun to change. Buyers may soon take charge of the market in Shreveport as homes linger longer before selling and price cuts occur at higher rates. If you’ve been thinking about buying a home in Shreveport, now is a great time.

The median home value in Shreveport is currently around $131,000, so a budget of $300,000 opens up your options. Around this price point, you’re likely to find single-family homes with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and 2,200 square feet. It’s totally possible to find larger houses with more bedrooms, but you’ll have to do a little digging (or call your real estate agent!). 

The beauty of home shopping in Shreveport is the diversity. You can find character-filled historic homes, affordable starter homes, spectacular new construction properties, and more in this city. Homes that have been completely renovated from the bones to the trim are common at this price point, and you’ll frequently find homes with spacious garages and outdoor living spaces perfect for entertaining.
