Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Holmes County real estate market. *
August 2026
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).
Holmes County’s home values have shifted sharply compared to last year, with the typical home value down more than 80 percent year over year. At the same time, median list prices are up over 25 percent from a year ago, showing sellers are pricing far above where recent sales have landed. Active listings have increased by roughly 17 percent year over year, and months of supply is also higher than last year, pointing to a looser market overall.
In the latest August 2026 snapshot, the median sale price was just $38,870, while the median list price stood at $146,338, highlighting a wide gap between asking and closing prices. Only one home sold in August, but pending sales doubled from the previous month and are up nearly 37 percent year over year, a sign that some buyers are still stepping in despite volatility. Homes that do sell are moving quickly, with the median days on market dropping to four days, down about 56 percent from last year and sharply lower than earlier in 2026.
Inventory tells a different story, with 18 active listings and 12.5 months of supply, far above Mississippi’s 4.9 months and consistent with Holmes County’s neutral market reading. No homes sold above list in August, yet the average sale-to-list ratio climbed to nearly 100 percent and has risen about 16 percent year over year, suggesting sellers who adjust pricing are very close to their final contract price. Buyers and sellers who want to navigate these crosscurrents can turn to Agent Pronto to connect with a local agent who understands Holmes County’s dynamics and can guide them through the process.
Holmes County offers residents a welcoming, close-knit community with affordable living, rich local culture, and steady opportunities for business, education, and outdoor recreation.
Holmes County stands apart from nearby areas like Madison County and Yazoo County with its deeply rooted rural character and strong sense of community where generations often live within a few miles of one another. Towns such as Lexington, Durant, and Tchula anchor daily life, offering an easy pace and familiar faces that appeal to long‑time residents and newcomers seeking a quieter setting.
Local culture is closely tied to the land, from small farms and hunting tracts to family homes that have been passed down over time. Community events at places like the Holmes County Central High School campus or gatherings near Mississippi State University’s Central Mississippi Research and Extension Center reflect a commitment to education, agriculture, and shared traditions. Outdoor enthusiasts appreciate the proximity to the Mississippi Delta National Heritage Area and nearby Delta National Forest for fishing, boating, and quiet time in nature.
For residents thinking of selling, understanding how your property compares with homes in neighboring Carroll County or Attala County is critical in setting expectations and timing. Buyers considering Holmes County benefit from early preparation, from lining up financing to clarifying must‑have features like acreage or proximity to schools. Agent Pronto connects both buyers and sellers with the right real estate professional to navigate this unique local market at the right moment.

“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.”
