Looking for something different to do this weekend?  The Three Rivers Art Festival will take place this weekend on Columbia Street in Downtown Covington.  There will be over 200 artists from around the country.  The hours are 10a.m. to 5 p.m.   Oh by the way did I mention it was free?  After all with the Saints on a bye week you husbands out there may want to take the wife and family out for something that won't necessarily cost you an arm and a leg.  Unless of course you buy a nice piece of artwork.

WWLTV has announced today that Globalstar a satellite communications company will relocate it's corporate headquarters from California to Covington Louisiana this year.  Covington is located about 20 miles west of Slidell and Pearl River.  Kudos to Bobby Jindal Governor of Louisiana and Kevin Davis President of St. Tammany Parish for their leadership in this endeavor.  Kudos also to the countless others whose names we will never know.  Their will be approximately 50 full time high paying positions in the first 30 days.  Growing to 150 by the end of the year and over 500 in the next few years.  What employees relocating from California won't miss are the price of homes and the considerably lower taxes in Louisiana.  They will miss the weather and low humidity, especially in the summer.  ...

Covington, Louisiana May 11, 2010   The graph above,  illustrates a 3 year review of real estate activity for the City of Covington, North of I-12 and West and South of Hwy 190. Major subdivisions in this area include; Northpark Estates, Versailles, Flowers Estates, Tallow Creek, Old Landing and also a large majority of Downtown Covington. This graph tracks the number of new, active, and sold homes, as well the average sales price, on a month to month basis, from March 2007 through February 2010. Starting at the top, over the past 3 years the number of active homes for sale on the market (green) has fluctuated some, but in due course is on the same line as where it started. However, the average sales price (yellow) of homes over the last 3 years looks like a seismic rea...

Saints coach Sean Payton bought the first five tickets for Raising the Roof Charity.  Seems he couldn't meet with officials to draw the winning ticket, so he offered to buy the first five tickets.  These tickets cost $100 a piece.  They are only going to sell 2500.  The home is a four bedroom, three baths and double garage in Normandy Oaks Subdivision in Covington.  The money raised will go to numerous charities.  To buy a ticket go to www.raisingtheroof.net or call 800-715-1387.

What a week.  I long for the days years ago when I could just relax, drink my beer and watch television.  But no, I had to get into the real estate business.  Gives me something to do.  Keeps me out of trouble, you know what I mean.I told my wife I was going to take the day off and just relax.  We were going to eat lunch at one of our favorite restaurants in Slidell and have a good time.  Well about ten minutes before lunch the phone rings.  Like a fool I answer it.  A client of mine calls to say the appraisal on a property he is buying has come in low.  This house is in Covington which is in St Tammany parish.  I tell him to send it to me and I will rewrite an addendum to the listing agent.  Well to make a long story short I was on the phone for about three hours working things out.  N...

Realtors in St. Tammany Parish and outside the city limits of Slidell and Covington have to call the engineering department for changes to driveways etc.  I think I was transferred 10 times before I got the right person on the phone.  I now have an idea who to talk to now.  The client wanted to widen a driveway and you have to add the same size culvert to the original pipe.  You can even cover your whole front yard you just need to add drains etc. Hope this helps any local realtors if they have any question similar to mine.
