The Most Expensive House for Rent in Lafayette, Lousiana

The housing market is still pretty hot in Acadiana but with another round of federal interest rate hikes for mortgages, maybe renting is more what you're looking at.

According to CBSNews.com, the "federal funds target rate range is now at a 22-year high of 5.25%-5.50%."

In addition to record-high interest rates, the housing market in Lafayette is incredibly competitive right now. This makes it really tough to have any kind of bargaining leverage with the price.

Many people rent instead of buy to avoid having to deal with things like maintenance and repair costs, property taxes, and property value.

There's also the added flexibility of being able to choose where you want to live without the choice being dictated by the price of a house.

All that considered, renting could be the way you want to go until rates come down and the market cools off.

Lafayette has quite a few houses for rent right now, and some really nice ones too.

So, what's the most expensive house for rent right now in Lafayette?
