What These Numbers Mean for LaPlace Buyers and Sellers
The Housing Market Trends module above establishes the baseline for LaPlace: a median sale price of $227,849 and a median of 74 days on market. Reading the competitive indicators together shows where leverage actually sits. With 11.5% of homes selling above list, an average sale-to-list ratio of 97.52%, and 37.7% of active listings carrying a price reduction, the data points toward a market where buyers hold meaningful negotiating room. Only 21.0% of homes leave the market within two weeks, which confirms that most listings sit long enough for buyers to evaluate carefully rather than compete under pressure.
Months of supply at 4.4 sits near the balanced range, with 91 active listings against 21 monthly sales and 67 pending transactions. For a buyer, this combination supports offers below asking, contingency requests, and patience on homes showing price drops. For a seller, the signal is clear: price at or near recent comparable sales from the start, because the 37.7% reduction rate shows that overpriced listings are correcting rather than selling.
At a median price per square foot of $127.99 and 77 new listings arriving monthly, pricing accuracy matters more than timing. LaPlace has 250 licensed agents, but performance varies widely across that pool. The sections below analyze which agents have measured results in this specific market, so both buyers and sellers can match strategy to the conditions the data describes.

What to Look for in a LaPlace Realtor
Choosing an agent on name recognition alone overlooks what actually moves a transaction: measured negotiation outcomes and depth of local experience. In a market where only 11.5% of homes clear above list and 37.7% of listings require a reduction, the ability to price correctly and negotiate on terms is what separates results. EffectiveAgents analyzed 203 transactions across LaPlace to rank the top performers. Among them, Wendy Benedetto at L & B Holdings stands out, with 986 career transactions, 15 client reviews, and $92.6M in all-time sales volume. That transaction depth matters when a seller needs an agent who can hold close to the 97.52% sale-to-list benchmark rather than conceding early. Of the 250 licensed agents working this market, only 25 meet the ranking threshold based on verified production. When comparing agents, look past a single testimonial and study review patterns over time: consistency across many closings is a more reliable signal than a handful of standout comments.
How We Rank LaPlace Real Estate Agents
Our rankings are built from verified MLS transaction data, not advertising spend. For every agent we analyze more than fifteen performance signals, including sales volume in your city and zip code, recent and all-time transactions, days on market, negotiation results (how far above or below list price an agent's clients actually close), price-point fit, and verified reviews. The agents shown first are those whose verified results put them at the top of the LaPlace market today.
Agents cannot pay for placement in these rankings. The underlying data refreshes as new closed transactions are reported, so rankings shift with real market performance. Learn how we rank agents.

How were these LaPlace real estate agents ranked?
Rankings are built from verified MLS transaction data. We analyze more than fifteen performance signals for every agent, including sales volume in your city and zip code, recent and all-time transactions, days on market, negotiation results, price-point fit, and verified reviews. Agents cannot pay for placement.
How many real estate agents are in LaPlace?
Our data covers 250 real estate agents serving the LaPlace area. The count represents agents with transaction activity recorded in our LaPlace market data, not simply everyone holding a license.
What does the median sale price in LaPlace mean for sellers?
LaPlace's median sale price is $227,849 as of August 2026. Half of recent sales closed above that figure and half below. It is a useful baseline for understanding the market, but an experienced local agent will price your home against comparable recent sales in your neighborhood, not the citywide median.
How long does it take to sell a house in LaPlace?
The median home in LaPlace takes 74 days to sell, and that figure reflects a +8 days change in market time compared with a year ago. Your actual timeline depends on pricing, condition, and location. With 37.7% of listings currently reducing their price and months of supply at 4.4, homes priced accurately from the start tend to sell faster, while overpriced listings sit and often require a reduction. An experienced local agent can estimate a realistic timeline for your specific property.
Does it cost anything to use EffectiveAgents?
No. EffectiveAgents is free for home buyers and sellers, with no obligation to work with any agent we match you with.
Do agents pay to be ranked or featured?
No. Agents cannot pay for placement anywhere in these rankings. Positions are earned from verified transaction performance only.
What commission do LaPlace realtors charge?
Commissions are negotiable and vary by agent, service level, and transaction. There is no set rate, and recent industry changes have made commission structures more flexible than ever. Discuss the structure directly with your agent before signing a listing or buyer agreement.
Should I use a local LaPlace agent or a national brand?
The individual agent matters more than the brand on the sign. Offices within the same national franchise vary widely in performance, and the agent you hire, not the logo, prices your home, negotiates your contract, and manages your closing. A strong local agent brings firsthand knowledge of LaPlace neighborhoods, pricing patterns, and buyer activity. Compare agents on verified local results such as recent sales, days on market, and negotiation outcomes rather than name recognition.
What questions should I ask a LaPlace realtor before hiring them?
Ask how many homes they have closed in LaPlace in the past year, what their average sale-to-list ratio is, and how much of their business is in your neighborhood and price range. Ask how they will market your home or find you listings, and how often they will communicate. Strong agents answer with specifics. Verified transaction data is the fastest way to confirm what you hear.
