Fill out the form at the top of this page or call us at (504) 920-4747 and we’ll have a real cash number for you inside 24 hours.
The Marigny is one of the oldest neighborhoods in the city, and the housing shows it: single and double shotguns from the 1800s, Creole cottages, a scattering of side-hall camelbacks, and the occasional Greek Revival. Most of it is contributing structure in the historic district, which changes how any offer has to be built. Termite damage, sagging pier foundations, original heart-pine floors buried under three layers of vinyl, knob-and-tube still live in the walls, cast-iron drain lines on their last legs. Some houses have been redone to the studs and are pushing $700k. Others sold to out-of-state buyers during the short-term rental boom of the mid-2010s and are now half-finished or tired. Every offer has to be built house by house.
Recent BIG activity near the Marigny
We work Marigny Triangle, Marigny Rectangle, and the blocks bleeding into the Bywater constantly. When we underwrite a Marigny house we’re pulling from real deals in the same historic-district reality: HDLC review timelines, the cost of matching a period cornice or a set of six-over-six windows, the fact that the plumbing under a 1850s slab is almost never what the disclosure says it is. We’re not comping off a Zillow ZIP average.
Why sellers in the Marigny call us
Airbnb burnout is the number one reason our phone rings from 70117. An owner bought a double in 2016, put $150k in, ran both sides as short-term rentals for a few good years, then the city tightened the STR rules and the math changed. They’re done managing turnovers from Denver. We buy the whole double, tenant or no tenant, permits current or not.
Estate calls are number two. A parent who lived on Chartres or Burgundy since the 1970s passes, the kids grew up there but are scattered, and nobody wants to fly in every weekend to meet a listing agent. We work with the succession attorney and close when the paperwork clears.
The third bucket is owners tired of the fight with an old house. The roof is 30 years old, the sewer lateral collapsed, the neighbor’s magnolia dropped a limb through the porch, and the insurance renewal came in ugly. They’d rather trade for cash and be done.
The fourth is condition-driven sales. Fire damage, foundation heave from the 2023 drought, a partial gut that ran out of money. We buy mid-repair and we buy houses no retail buyer will finance.
