Tensas Parish has a resale-versus-listing tension. At the shared 2026-06 observation, Zillow’s $133,118 median home value was down 25.48% year over year, while Realtor.com’s median MLS listing price was down only 0.12%. A county home-value measure and an asking-price measure do not confirm closed-sale pricing. FHFA annual repeat-transaction HPI is not published. Buyers needing exit-price support should investigate before relying on either direction.
No median asking market rent is published, so gross yield cannot be calculated. HUD’s two-bedroom FMR of $834 is a payment standard, not asking rent, and cannot fill that gap. The 0.26% effective property-tax rate and $221 median annual tax identify a carrying-cost input, not the tax bill for a particular asset. Missing lease comps, vacancy, collections, insurance and operating expenses prevent a cash-flow conclusion.
Realtor.com showed 21 active MLS listings, 84 median days on market, 20.94% with price reductions, and a 14.29% pending-to-active ratio. These measure visible supply, marketing time and seller concessions; they are not closed sales or buyer demand proof. In 2025, QCEW reported 792 annual average covered jobs at county workplaces, down 2.82%. Average weekly wage was unchanged. Trade, transportation, and utilities was the largest disclosed private supersector, not the whole economy.
Tax-return data recorded a net inflow of 13 households, with incoming movers’ average income exceeding outgoing movers’ by a calculated $10,219; this is limited mover evidence, not broad demand. Investor share was 9.09% across only 11 purchase mortgages, too limited to establish competitive depth. Inland flood is the dominant hazard, and modeled annual building-value loss is 0.12%; property-level elevation, flood history and insurance terms remain necessary. Obtain closed-sale comps, lease and expense records, and property-specific hazard quotes before drawing resale or cash-flow conclusions.
