Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Sep 2026).
Year over year, Benton County’s prices are edging up modestly while inventory has expanded sharply. The typical home value is up a bit from last September, but the median list price has fallen steeply, suggesting sellers are pricing more conservatively. Active listings have climbed by nearly half compared with a year ago, reinforcing its current status as a buyer’s market.
Looking at the latest monthly snapshot for September 2026, the typical home value sits around $160,000 and the median list price is closer to $93,000, highlighting a wide range of options on the market. Months of supply is elevated at about 8.6 months, much higher than Mississippi overall at 5.2 months, which gives buyers more leverage than in many other parts of the state.
Conditions have shifted quickly even over the past few months, with median days on market dropping from more than 200 days in August to 99 days in September as homes move at a steadier pace. New listings are up strongly from last year, while homes sold are down year over year, pointing to more choices but slower sales. No homes sold above list in September and the average sale-to-list ratio is under 95 percent, further underscoring buyer negotiating power. Both buyers and sellers can benefit from a local expert who understands these dynamics, and Agent Pronto can connect them with a Benton County agent to help navigate each step.
Learn more about what Benton County has to offer.
Benton County offers residents a welcoming, family-friendly community with strong schools, diverse outdoor recreation, thriving local businesses, and a balanced small-town pace that makes it easy to connect with neighbors.
Benton County stands apart from nearby metro areas like Memphis and Oxford with its deeply rural character, slower pace, and tight community connections. Life here centers around small towns such as Ashland and Hickory Flat, where high school ball games and local events help neighbors stay connected and informed.
Outdoor enthusiasts appreciate the proximity to Holly Springs National Forest, with its hiking, hunting, and fishing opportunities. Families rely on local schools like Ashland High School and spend weekends at community gathering spots such as Ashland City Park. For a broader range of dining, shopping, and services, residents often head to Holly Springs, New Albany, or across the state line to Collierville.
Benton County’s housing options reflect its rural roots, with larger lots, farmland, and modest in-town homes. Buyers are drawn to the relative affordability and privacy, while longtime residents value the chance to stay close to family and familiar back roads. Local services, including the Benton County Library System and county resources at the Benton County government site, support daily life without the intensity of a big city.
Whether you are planning to buy or considering listing your property, timing and preparation matter in this small but active market, and Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with the right Benton County real estate professional.
Trusted by over 500,000 buyers and sellers.

“Jenny was amazing. From the first intro call to post-closing support, Jenny was insightful and supportive. Buying a property remotely is challenging and the logistics can be difficult but Jenny literally handled so many of the small details for us that there was no way we would have brought this transaction to close with out her. From the home search, to the inspection, to referrals for insurance agents, attorneys, to working with the builder Jenny was literally a phone call or text away from helping us out. If you are looking to buy a home in Oxford, Ms. you need to work with Jenny Addy. She is the best. Thanks Jenny!! Mike & Missy ---”

“We had the pleasure of working with Barry Monday twice: first when we bought our home in Hattiesburg and again when it was time to sell. Barry was kind, responsive, and supportive through both experiences. He took the time to answer our questions, kept us informed, and helped us navigate each step with confidence. Selling a home that held so many memories was a big transition for our family, and we were grateful to have someone we trusted guiding us through it. We highly recommend Barry to anyone buying or selling a home in the Hattiesburg area. Thank you, Barry, for being there for us on both ends of this journey!”

“Matt is a consummate real estate professional with an added benefit: he treats you like family. We found a home of interest through a Zillow search that, unfortunately, sits 12 hours from where we currently live. Zillow paired us with Matt and he reached out immediately, offering to set up and conduct a video showing. He did a great job, taking the time to open each closet, provide multiple vantagepoints of each room, and walk the property. We had an experience that was comprehensive enough to make an informed decision. We knew the home was for us and Matt helped us submit an offer and negotiate details, which the seller accepted. Throughout the process, he communicated well, made great recommendations for local professionals (inspection, etc.), and kept us informed every step of the way. Closing was online and we weren't able to drive down and take possession of the keys for about a week, but Matt went above and beyond to ensure the home was secure until we arrived. When we finally walked through the door of our new home, there were no unpleasant surprises. Matt's efforts made us feel like we had already been there. We recommend Matt Meeks as a Realtor...100%. His pleasant personality and willingness to go the extra mile makes the process a whole lot easier.”
eXp Realty
“We lived in our home on the south side of Columbus for more than 20 years. When we retired and relocated out of state, we needed to sell it. It was on the market for about 18 months BEFORE we signed with Colin. We had an offer in less than six weeks AFTER we signed with Colin. In addition to setting the correct price, he also had several strategies (that weren’t terribly expensive) to help mitigate the fears of someone purchasing an old home. He emphasized transparency and was with us every step of the way helping to smooth several potential bumps in the road. I definitely believe he earned his commission. I was more than pleased with the process and would have absolutely no hesitation recommending Colin Krieger as a realtor.”
RE/MAX Partners
“It was a pleasure working with Michael. I saw that he was recommended by redfin and I called him. He definitely was very knowledgeable of the market and knew the area very well. From the minute we signed the listing agreement to closing, everything went very smooth. I honestly couldn't believe we closed on time and without any problems at all. I would highly recommend Michael if you are looking to buy or sell a property!”
EXP Realty
“Mary is absolutely THE BEST!!! A few years back she helped me navigate a short sale in a desperate time of need. Fast forward to me being ready to purchase again I chose to go with Mary again and even though I had a very unconventional situation to deal with regarding my purchase and I threw her probably every curve ball in the book she handled it all with grace and always had my back!! This woman is AMAZING and even though I was difficult she always treated me more like a friend than just some client!! I appreciate all she did and would never dream of using anyone else for any real estate needs.”
Century 21 J. Carter and Company
“James was a great realtor and went above and beyond to accommodate my schedule for viewings. He listened to my needs, was quick to respond, and was honest. I was not sure I wanted to buy a house (versus staying in my current home), but he still gave me 100% of his attention and effort. While I didn't end up buying, my experience with James was a great one and I would highly recommend him!”
