The best time of year to sell a house in Houma, LA
In Houma, LA, homes have sold for the most in August and the least in October. Over the last three years the gap between those two months worked out to about 14% of a typical year's price.
The short version: list in August if you want the highest price, and expect October to be the softest month of the year.
Speed follows a slightly different calendar. Homes in Houma, LA have gone under contract fastest in November. That is not always the same month prices peak, because the busiest month usually brings the most competition from other sellers too.
The most homes come on the market in April. More listings means more buyers looking, but also more homes competing with yours.
This is based on three years of Redfin's published sales data for the Houma, LA area, through May 2026. It is a pattern, not a promise — one house in good condition priced correctly beats the calendar every time.
