39401 Market Pulse: Buyer Leaning
Available homes are outpacing pending demand. Homes are still selling, but buyers generally have more time to compare properties and more room to negotiate than they would in a highly competitive market.
Pending ratio: 35%. About 3-4 out of every 10 homes for sale are finding a buyer — a buyer's market. Most homes are still waiting for a buyer. Expect it to take longer and price to stand out. Homes that sold took about 61 days to sell, which is so-so.

Does the 39401 Market Pulse tell me what my home is worth?

How recent is the 39401 market reading?
The ZIP-level Market Pulse shown here is from 2026-10-18. RealSights takes new snapshots every Sunday, and the city and other ZIP reports may show different dates.
What should buyers watch in 39401?
Keep an eye on available inventory, pending activity, days on market, and price reductions — and compare nearby ZIP reports. Homes sitting longer may offer more flexibility, but protect your inspection, appraisal, and financing terms. A market score never guarantees a discount.
What should sellers watch in 39401?
Price against current nearby competition and recent closed sales, and watch how quickly homes go under contract. The Hattiesburg report adds broader context, but it's not a home valuation.
