Local Information For Mississippi Real Estate Investors

The major real estate markets throughout Mississippi have grown leaps and bounds over the last few years, with the metro areas seeing the largest gains. As of September 2022, the average home sale price for the state reached $255,900 which is nearly 13% higher than the previous year and slightly below the five-year-high. Homes are spending an average of only 19 days on market, which is a staggering 40 less average days than the previous year and highlights the current demand for housing in this market. More than 20% of the homes sold are being sold for above asking price, which should indicate to investors that the state’s seller’s market is in their favor.

There are currently only 4,759 homes for sale, which represents a two month supply for the state. Typically, a healthy real estate market has a minimum three month supply of inventory Real estate investors can benefit from these market conditions, as fix and flip investors love the fast moving market while investors focused on new construction can fill inventory gap and use the heightened demand to sell their product at a premium price.

Recommended Areas For Mississippi Real Estate Investing

Asset Based Lending are experts in local Mississippi real estate markets, reviewing trends and shifts to better inform our borrowers while providing the best possible loan terms for each project. Compiling data from Redfin, public town records, and local news sources, we believe some of the best Mississippi neighborhoods for real estate investors are:

Jackson The largest city and metro area in Mississippi is by far the best place for real estate investors. As of September 2022 the average home sale price reached $160,000 which marks a nearly 9% increase year over year and just shy of the five-year-high. Homes are spending an average of only 20 days on market, which is a massive 37 day drop from the previous year’s average. Especially desirable homes can sell as fast as six days from the initial listing date, which highlights the fast moving nature of this market and the benefit that fix and flip investors could find.

Gulfport Sitting on the southern coast of the state is the second largest city in The Magnolia State. The average home sale price recently reached $175,000 which is actually a slight 5% drop from the previous year, but indicative of a market correction versus a market turndown. To highlight the strength of the market, homes are spending an average of 18 days on market, which is another 37 day drop year over year. These major metro areas of Mississippi are perfect for fix and flip investors or new construction investments that can fill the inventory gaps and take advantage of the fast moving property sales.

Southaven Located in the northern tip of the state, Southaven has seen large growth to its real estate market in the last few years. The average home sale price reached $283,000 which is a nearly 11% increase year over year. Homes are spending an average of 23 days on market, which is 25 less days than the previous year and signifies another fast moving market in Mississippi. The number of homes sold during September 2022 reached 117, which is a 17% increase and highlights the current demand for homes in the area. Builders and contractors that can invest in new construction can benefit from the demand by filling inventory gaps, while fix and flip investors can take advantage of the fast moving market to chain together several deals.

Whether you need to close fast, are seeking flexible loan terms, or another lender simply dropped the ball, ABL is here to help.

Using Hard Money Loans For Fix And Flips

Financing a fix and flip investment requires a lending partner that can close fast and offer a variety of loan options. That’s why so many real estate investors prefer hard money loans for fix and flips, as this type of financing can close in less than two weeks and comes with flexible loan terms. For example, Asset Based Lending has closed loans as quickly as two business days with the appropriate paperwork. These speedy loans allow fix and flip investors the opportunity to secure deals that would normally be missed if using another financing option. Hard money loans are also less stringent with its documentation requirements- aside from recent bank statements and a credit check, hard money lenders in Mississippi forego documents such as tax records or income verification.

Investors that have tried borrowing from a bank or other traditional financial institutions know the pushback- the projects are inherently risky and banks typically don’t want to involve themselves in these types if projects. Or if they do choose to lend, its an agonizingly long process with enough loan stipulations, such as prepayment penalties or intensive documentation requirements, that ends up hurting the deal too much from the investor’s point of view. When it comes to fast and efficient lending for fix and flips, hard money loans are the best option for borrowers, and no lender does it better than Asset Based Lending.

Mississippi New Construction Investment Info

The lack of housing supply in Mississippi is a major reason why the real estate markets are seeing such growth, especially with residential new construction. There were nearly 8,000 new builds in the state throughout 2021, with the majority of focus on single family homes to help meet the ongoing demand for young families buying their first home. Most of these new construction projects are occurring in the northwest and southeast parts of the state, with emphasis on the Southaven and Gulfport metro areas. Jackson metro is also booming with new construction, which makes sense as the capital of the state and center of commerce for Mississippi. Multifamily builds of four units or more are also rising throughout this city, as renting becomes more popular and for longer periods of time given the lack of available homes for purchase. Asset Based Lending can fund the construction of both single family and multifamily homes, offering fast and reliable financing for these investment projects.
