Covington’s Land Crunch: Why Now’s the Perfect Time to Sell Your Mandeville or Covington Home
Big news is rocking the Northshore real estate market: in February 2025, St. Tammany Parish rejected a proposal to rezone 350 acres west of Covington for hundreds of new homes, signaling a continued shortage of housing supply. This decision is driving buyer demand sky-high in Mandeville and Covington, making 2025 a golden opportunity for sellers. At Three45 Realty, our 3% listing agreements and 45-day listing terms save you thousands and sell your home faster than the market’s 52-day average. Ready to cash in on this seller’s market?

What the Rezoning Denial Means for Sellers
The St. Tammany Parish Planning and Zoning Commission’s February 5, 2025, decision to block a massive subdivision near U.S. Highway 190 and LA Highway 1077 underscores Covington’s commitment to controlled growth. This move keeps inventory tight, fueling a seller’s market in Mandeville and Covington. Here’s why it’s a game-changer:
Low Inventory, High Competition: With only 524 homes listed in Covington and 314 in Mandeville as of March 2025, buyers are scrambling, leading to bidding wars and premium offers.
Rising Prices: Covington’s median home price reached $319,890 in March 2025, up 1.5% year-over-year, with Mandeville trending similarly. Limited new construction could push values higher.
Buyer Influx: Families and professionals are flocking to neighborhoods like Beau Chene, River Forest, and The Sanctuary, drawn by top schools and proximity to New Orleans.
This supply crunch makes now an ideal time to sell—and Three45 Realty’s innovative model maximizes your profit.
