Affordable New Homes in New Orleans

New Construction in New Orleans

We may be a city steeped in history, but not everyone wants to buy a historic New Orleans home. You can enjoy everything the city has to offer and still find affordable new homes in New Orleans. Across the parish, you’ll find pockets of new homes to choose from on both the East and West Bank of the river.

With prices under $200,000, these New Orleans properties offer you the opportunity to move right in, with no renovation hassles and no worries about if everything is up to code. New appliances, new mechanicals, new plumbing, and protection from defects with the Louisiana New Home Warranty Act. Easy to finance with FHA loans or even bond money, if that’s the route you’re taking.

If you select a new build, which might be handled by a custom home builder, before it’s finished, you will often have the chance to choose from a selection of finishes. Cabinet colors, flooring, lighting fixtures, faucets…these are all things that a builder may be willing to customize to suit your taste (as long as it stays within the construction budget, of course). Some builders will require an additional non-refundable deposit for custom finishes, so get some guidance from your agent about this.

Remember, even if you are buying a brand new home, it’s still important to have a complete home inspection done. Builders aren’t perfect, subcontractors aren’t perfect, but your new house should be.
