Picayune, Ms Residential Real Estate Market Report

Through June May 30, 2020 (updated 6/12/2020)

 Below is the current residential real estate market report for Picayune, Ms and the surrounding areas. This data was collected and assembled by Lee Thomas of Core Alliance Realty, from the Pearl River Board of REALTORS (PRBOR) Multiple Listing Service (MLS). This data represents all residential sales that were listed or sold by a member of the PRBOR. It does not include properties that were for sale by owner (accuracy + or -5%).

Properties currently on the market 194

Properties sold in the last 12 months (7/1/2018 to 6/30/2019) 679

679 divided by 12 month is = 56.58 homes sold per month in the previous 12 months

194 available homes divided by 56.58 sold per month = 3.42 months supply on the market

  • Seller's Market: 0 to 5 months supply of homes

  • Neutral Market: 5 to 6 months supply of homes

  • Buyers Market: More than 6 months supply of homes

I beleive that this rapid shift in the market from a buyer's market to a seller's market is due to the number of listings withdrawn and seller's reluctancy to put their home on the market due to the current pandemic.
