Here's another sign of the real estate market cooling

By ADAM DAIGLE | Acadiana Business Editor

Good morning, Acadiana, and thanks for reading us this morning. Let's get started with the business news this morning. We have this report from a national real estate data firm that shows sales of a typical single-family home sold in Acadiana had the lowest profit rate among mid-sized markets in the country.

Have a great day and see you back Wednesday morning.
