By Jordan Arceneaux
Commercial real estate sales in East Baton Rouge Parish finished 2025 above the $1 billion mark, posting higher sales volume despite a slight slowdown in deal activity, according to Elifin market data.
The 12-month trailing sales volume rose 6.37% to $1.17 billion at the end of December, up from $1.05 billion in November. November marked the first time the trailing 12-month total topped $1 billion since 2023. Sales volume peaked in June 2022 at nearly $1.3 billion, Elifin reports.

Fed is likely to hold interest rates steady, resisting Trump pressure. Here’s what that means for borrowers
By Jessica Dickler
Despite escalating political pressure from President Donald Trump, the Federal Reserve is expected to hold interest rates steady at its policy meeting this week.
Amid a somewhat softening labor market, inflation pressures and an uncertain geopolitical landscape, futures market pricing is implying almost no chance of a rate cut, according to the CME Group’s FedWatch gauge.
The Fed’s pause may disappoint Americans eager for lower debt payments, according to Matt Schulz, LendingTree’s chief credit analyst.
“Even so, rates on several types of loans are at their lowest levels in years and are likely to keep falling, at least for a little while longer,” Schulz said. “That’s welcome news as affordability issues continue to plague families around the country.”
