Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Hancock County real estate market. *

Monthly data for the latest available year.
Monthly supply and activity totals for the latest available year.
Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Aug 2026).
Hancock County currently sits in a neutral market, with conditions balanced between buyers and sellers. Months of supply is at 4.6, down from a year ago but still close to the 4.9 months seen statewide in Mississippi. Typical home values have climbed to around $324,000, well above the state median of about $278,000.
Prices have moved up over the past year, with the typical sale price rising nearly 17 percent year over year, while median list prices have seen only a modest increase. That gap suggests sellers are not pushing list prices as aggressively as final sale prices might allow, which can create room for negotiation.
Activity has picked up, with homes sold up about 9 percent from last year and pending sales also higher, even as new listings have edged up only slightly. Homes are taking longer to sell, with median days on market up sharply year over year, and only a small share of properties are closing above list price, reflected in a sale-to-list ratio just under 96 percent. These mixed signals underscore why having a skilled local expert matters, and Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with an agent who understands Hancock County’s shifting dynamics.
Hancock County offers residents a welcoming, family-friendly community with abundant outdoor recreation, strong schools, and a growing mix of local businesses, all supported by a collaborative spirit and convenient access to regional amenities.
Hancock County stands apart from nearby Gulf Coast communities with its blend of quiet, small‑town character and a growing creative, space, and tech presence. From the historic streets of Bay St. Louis to the family neighborhoods of Waveland and the wooded areas near Kiln, residents share a strong local identity rooted in coastal living, fishing culture, and community events.
Waterfront access is central here. The beaches in Bay St. Louis and Waveland offer relaxed shoreline time and easy access to boating and paddle sports, while Buccaneer State Park provides camping, trails, and a popular water playground. The Bay St. Louis Municipal Harbor serves as a hub for boaters and seasonal festivals, and locals gather at spots like Mockingbird Café and the Old Town Arts District for music, art walks, and regional cuisine.
Education and innovation also shape daily life. Families look to the Bay St. Louis–Waveland School District and Hancock County School District, while the Stennis Space Center anchors high‑tech and government employment and attracts supporting industries.
With continued interest from New Orleans and Gulfport commuters, timing and preparation are critical. Whether you are considering a waterfront move, downsizing away from the coast, or entering the market for the first time, partnering with the right local expert can make a real difference. Agent Pronto connects Hancock County buyers and sellers with agents who know how to navigate coastal property, changing inventory, and smart pricing strategies.

I would highly recommend Michael if you are looking to buy or sell a property!”
“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.”

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!”

You could reach her anytime of the day or night and she would always respond. She is a true assest to your company.”
