They have been several new stores to open in Covington, Louisiana since Oct. 1st of this year.  The newest soon to be open is Olive Garden.  With Texas Road House, Kohls, Academy Sports and Hobby Lobby now open, home values are sure to remain steady.  Ever notice how an area of town seems like it's way out away from civilation.  Then all of a sudden several stores open, then other stores open and before you know it your in a super convenient area. 

The straight is that most people appreciate their seclusion and privacy yet they like the convenience of being close to shopping, gas stations and groceries.  Having ammenities aroud our homes decreases inconviences.  This makes home values go up. For market reports check out http://www.WayneTurner.com
