The new Baton Rouge General, Interstate 12 at Juban Rd, ground breaking was yesterday, another positive for the Parish. New Aldi recently opened as well. However, Livingston needs a commercial / industrial tax base, period, to fund basic road repairs, and the normal expectations of a Parish. In the increasing cost of everything into 2026, it makes sense a lower median home price in the mid $200’s would attract a higher percentage of homebuyers.

From GBRAR ROAM MLS November 2024 vs November 2025 comparison, “Across the nine-parish GBRAR region, closed sales fell 9% year over year to 634. New listings were up 3.2%, and pending sales, a key indicator of future closings, rose 9.5%. The median sales price dipped slightly, down 1.1% to $255,000, and homes stayed on the market longer, averaging 77 days. Inventory grew 1.8% to 3,329 homes, though the months supply of inventory held steady at 4.4 months, suggesting a gradually balancing market.”
