Scott’s Commercial Real Estate Market at a Glance
ELIFIN tracks every commercial real estate transaction in Lafayette Parish, including the city of Scott. With a proprietary database of over 59,000 commercial properties and 41,000+ property owner contacts across South Louisiana, ELIFIN provides the most comprehensive view of commercial activity in Acadiana. Our specialized agents work the Lafayette market daily, connecting buyers and sellers with data-driven precision.
Scott sits at the crossroads of Interstate 10 and U.S. Highway 93, making it one of the most accessible commercial locations in the Lafayette metro. That connectivity—combined with competitive land costs and a growing industrial base—has turned Scott into a hub for warehouse users, small manufacturers, and service businesses looking for proximity to Lafayette without downtown congestion.
2025 Market Activity
In 2025, Scott recorded 24 commercial property transactions totaling $18.0 million in dollar volume. That represents a strong rebound from 2024’s 20 transactions and $12.0 million in volume, and a 50.2% increase in dollar volume year over year. The median sale price across all disclosed transactions was $475,000, reflecting the market’s concentration in smaller industrial buildings and commercial land.
Scott accounted for 7.0% of all commercial transactions in Lafayette Parish and 4.3% of the parish’s total dollar volume in 2025. While that market share is modest, the city’s transaction activity is concentrated in a narrow segment—industrial properties—where Scott punches well above its weight relative to its population.
Activity by Quarter
Transaction activity built steadily through the year. The first half saw 10 deals totaling $3.7 million, while the second half accelerated to 14 transactions and $14.3 million in volume. The third quarter was the strongest single quarter at $8.2 million across seven deals, driven by two industrial sales exceeding $2.4 million each.
Activity by Property Type
Industrial properties dominated Scott’s 2025 market, accounting for 15 of 24 transactions (62.5%) and $12.2 million in dollar volume (67.5%). The city’s industrial inventory—260 properties tracked by ELIFIN—is by far the largest property type category in Scott, and the transaction data confirms that warehouses and light industrial buildings are the engine of the local market.
Land sales were the second-most active category with four transactions totaling $2.0 million, followed by three retail sales at $3.0 million. A single specialty property and one multifamily transaction rounded out the year.
Industrial Market Metrics
Across the 15 industrial transactions in 2025, a total of 170,321 square feet changed hands. The weighted average sale price was $71.36 per square foot, reflecting Scott’s position as a value-oriented industrial market where owner-users and small investors can acquire functional warehouse and shop buildings at a fraction of what comparable space commands in Lafayette’s core. Individual deal sizes ranged from a 4,000-square-foot shop building at $130,000 to a 49,000-square-foot industrial facility at $2.4 million.
2025 Transaction Map
Highlighted Transactions
Three transactions from 2025 illustrate the range of commercial activity in Scott’s market:
The largest industrial sale by square footage in Scott during 2025, this 49,000-square-foot facility traded at approximately $49.83 per square foot. Its location along Ambassador Caffery Parkway—a major north-south corridor connecting Scott to Lafayette—makes it one of the more prominent industrial assets in the city.
The highest-priced retail transaction in Scott during 2025, this convenience and service station property on Highway 93 sold for $547.62 per square foot. The premium pricing reflects the strong traffic counts along this corridor and the value of established fuel and convenience retail locations in growing suburban markets.
The largest land transaction in Scott during 2025, this 23-acre parcel along Renaud Drive traded at approximately $47,555 per acre. Large-acreage parcels in Scott are increasingly attracting attention from developers and end-users looking for room to build in a market where finished industrial product moves quickly.
Year-Over-Year Trends
ELIFIN has tracked commercial sales comprehensively in Lafayette Parish since 2023, giving us three full years of Scott-specific data. The trend shows a market that corrected in 2024 before rebounding in 2025:
The 2023 figure of $26.5 million across 32 transactions was inflated by several larger deals in that initial tracking year. The 2024 dip to $12.0 million reflected a broader Lafayette Parish slowdown, while 2025’s $18.0 million across 24 deals represents a healthy middle ground—fewer transactions than 2023 but with larger average deal sizes.
