Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Benton County real estate market, updated for March 2026. *
Over the past year, Benton County home values have moved down, with typical values falling about 13.7 percent to roughly $189,000. That contrasts with Mississippi overall, where typical values rose about 2.35 percent to around $260,800. New listings and pending sales are also lower than a year ago, with new listings down about 40 percent and pending sales off about 50 percent, signaling slower buyer and seller activity.
In February 2026, the median list price reached about $214,000, and homes spent a short nine days on the market on average, a sharp drop of more than 88 percent from a year earlier. With 15 active listings and roughly 15 months of supply, buyers currently see more time and options, while only about 13 percent of sellers reduced their price and none of the recent sales closed above the asking price.
Looking ahead to March 2026, typical values are projected around $108,500 while the projected median list price edges higher to about $243,500, and inventory is expected to ease slightly to about 13 homes. Conditions line up as a neutral market overall, balancing negotiating power between buyers and sellers. With local trends diverging from the wider Mississippi market, it is especially helpful for buyers and sellers to use Agent Pronto to connect with an agent who understands these shifting dynamics.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.
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.

“Lee Jordan listened to our needs, wants and price range and found us great potential homes to tour. She was very responsive and went the extra mile to arrange an inspection and was a big help on the pre-purchase walk-through...she has a very keen eye for detail. Finally, she's a very nice lady and is a true joy to work with!”
“Ms. Kimberly Townsend is an awesome realtor! She assisted us in finding our forever home with all our wants. She went over and beyond to make sure all of our needs were met. We truly appreciate her due diligence to property details that buyers would not have notice. She is very knowledgeable and professional. She explained every step of the home buying process in depth. She made this experience enjoyable! Excellent Job, Ms. Townsend.”
“Michelle was great in helping me figure out what to do with my place to make it more appealing to sell. She kept in contact with me regularly with updates on any interest in my place after it was listed. Sadly there wasn't much demand for a place like mine, but Michelle was able to help keep my hopes up with being able to close it out. It did eventually sell, and I'm thankful for that.”
“Working with Rosdalyn Wallace was truly a blessing. From the very beginning, Rosdalyn was encouraging, even during the moments when my own confidence dipped. She brought a joyful, upbeat spirit into every interaction, and her warmth and positivity turned a stressful process into something I could actually breathe through. Rosdalyn didn't just meet expectations. She went far beyond what most would consider the role of a realtor, handling details behind the scenes so I didn't have to worry. Throughout the entire journey, I never once felt alone. She checked in, explained every step, and made sure I felt supported and cared for. Some people work in real estate. Rosdalyn serves people. She became family in the process, offering inspiration, reassurance, and first-class service from start to finish. Selling a home is not something you do every day, and Rosdalyn made it understandable and manageable. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone who wants a realtor who truly walks beside you and holds your hand through the experience. I would trust her with my closest friends, because Roslyn made a real difference for me.”
“A pleasure to work with”
“Ashley was always ready, willing, and able to help us whenever needed. No matter what day or time it was. She went above and beyond for us. I consider her my first friend here in Mississippi! Thank you so much!!”
“Working with Jenny Addy to sell our land was an incredible experience. From start to finish, she made the process seamless and stress-free. Her knowledge of the Oxford market and her strategic approach helped us secure a great deal. Jenny was always available to answer questions, provide updates, and guide us through every step. I couldn’t have asked for a better realtor—she truly exceeded our expectations. If you’re looking to sell, I highly recommend Jenny!”
“I felt like I had known her all my life. She was very professional but also personable. She always responded to any calls or texts we sent and she would find out any information we needed to know. We told her after talking to her so much the past month that we considered her family and told her we will be checking on her. You could reach her anytime of the day or night and she would always respond. She is a true assest to your company.”
“Melinda Calhoun was absolutely GREAT. She took the time to show us around the area at homes she knew we would like, in addition to many texts and phone calls prior to our trip and after and to date. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking for a real estate agent who really cares about her clients.”
“Brina was very efficient in carrying out her duties. We were informed about everything taking place before and after the sale. I told her I would personally recommend her to any friends or family wanting to sell their homes.”
“Omg y'all helped us so much. Laila is amazing. She is a go getter, always kept us updated on everything daily, she had our house closed within 30 days and it sold in 4 days. THANK Y'ALL SO MUCH FOR REFERRING US TO LAILA. We would highly recommend her to anyone. Thank you. ”
“We were looking to purchase in Mississippi and needed an agent quickly. Agent Pronto connected us with Tina Andrade. She was extremely knowledgeable and helpful in putting together our real estate purchase in a timely manner! We will definitely be using her again in the future!”
