Jackson, the capital and largest city, sits in the center of the state, the Gulf Coast around Gulfport and Biloxi relies on casinos, tourism, shipbuilding and military bases, and DeSoto County in the north functions as part of the Memphis metro. Agriculture remains important across the Delta and the rural counties.
The Mississippi Real Estate Commission licenses salespersons and brokers, and salespersons must work under a supervising broker. Along the coast, wind and flood insurance can be a major part of the cost of ownership, so get quotes before your inspection period ends.
Olive Branch draws buyers who work in Memphis and want newer subdivisions, while Hattiesburg has steady demand from the University of Southern Mississippi and regional healthcare employers. Gulfport and Biloxi buyers are best served by an agent experienced with coastal properties and elevation certificates, and Meridian offers a smaller market with lower prices. Ask agents for examples of recent sales close to the property you are considering, and how long those homes took to sell.
