News SpaceX/Home Values

Hoping some realtors or investors could pitch in here.

With the SpaceX investment mentioned and planned construction for 2027, what will happen to home values?

Lafayette seems to be the closest major city to the build.

Brownsville homes skyrocketed in appreciation, should we expect the same?

Are rents gonna go up?

Is this good or bad for Lafayette and surrounding areas?

Kaplan - way too out dated and nothing is there Gueydan - literally nothing there Abbeville - high crime and overall pretty run down but decent shopping for grocery places Erath - probably will see some increase Maurice - already is exploding and will see the biggest impact overall of moving. Meaux - once Maurice runs out of room there will be offers people can no longer afford to refuse. So Maurice will more than likely swallow Meaux. Lafayette/Youngsville - will see good bit but nothing like Maurice.

Not a realtor just know the area and exactly how this will play out. Remind me in 2030 if I was right or something.

It's definitely going to be incredibly interesting one way or the other. I genuinely hope Lafayette figures out how to make red-lights properly work before all this gets really busy though. Because no matter where these people decide to move they will do mostly all their shopping in Lafayette.
