Harrison County, Mississippi holds zoning authority over its unincorporated areas, something only one or two of the state’s 82 counties can claim. That distinction is becoming increasingly relevant as residential development pressure pushes northward from the coast’s municipalities into semi-rural territory where residents on three- and five-acre lots are organized to resist higher-density projects. The ...
The Mississippi Gulf Coast housing market is not slow. It is split. Homes in good condition priced below $250,000 are still attracting multiple offers and selling within weeks. But properties priced above that threshold, particularly those where sellers are anchoring to pandemic-era valuations, are sitting for months. The agents working this market say the problem ...
The Mississippi Gulf Coast has long flown under the radar compared to its flashier neighbors in Florida and Alabama. But a steady stream of relocating families, retiring military personnel, and curious visitors passing through on the way to somewhere else has quietly built a real estate market worth paying attention to. For those willing to ...
When someone inherits a property in Mississippi, the first instinct is often to figure it out among family. Decide who is in charge, split things up, and move forward. But according to Home Buyer Mississippi, a cash home buying company operating across the Gulf Coast and into central Mississippi, that instinct is exactly what causes ...
When a family member passes away and leaves behind a property, most heirs assume the hard part is the grief. The house, they figure, is an asset. It has value. It can be sold or kept, and eventually everything gets sorted out. What few people anticipate is that the property can sit in legal limbo ...

Buying a single-family rental in a fast-growing Sun Belt city usually starts with job growth, population trends, and neighborhood quality. What many investors skip entirely is the one factor that can erase all of those advantages: how many new apartments are being built nearby. The argument sounds counterintuitive. You are buying a house, not a ...
For years, real estate investors and homebuyers have overlooked the Mississippi Gulf Coast in favor of flashier markets. Jon Lester, Head of Growth and Operations at Home Buyer Mississippi, is here to change that narrative. After years of sharpening his skills in one of the country’s most demanding real estate markets in New Orleans, Jon ...
Some real estate transactions are straightforward. Many are not. For Jon Lester, Head of Growth and Operations at Home Buyer Mississippi, the complicated ones are often the most meaningful. His philosophy is simple: every seller deserves a fair shot at a solution, regardless of how tangled the situation looks on paper. That belief drives every ...
Jon Lester did not set out to build a real estate brand in Mississippi. It started with a beat-up house on a street in Long Beach, a conversation with his parents, and a gut feeling that would not go away. Jon runs growth and operations for Home Buyer Mississippi, a cash home buying company serving ...
The current commercial real estate downturn has created a stark divide between those caught unprepared and those positioned to capitalize on distress. While multifamily values have dropped 30% from their peak, exceeding residential’s 23% decline during the Great Recession, experienced operators are finding exceptional opportunities in the wreckage. Forrest Jinks, CEO of Altus Equity Group, ...

Spokane’s residential market has settled into a pattern that rewards discipline and punishes nostalgia. Sellers who list based on what they remember from a few years ago – when homes drew multiple offers within days – are finding that the market has moved on without them, according to Kim Hagel-Barkley of The Barkley Group in ...
The gap between Houston’s residential market and its coastal neighbor shows what happens when short-term rental speculation meets a correction. Harris County, Texas, currently has roughly six months of housing inventory – enough to classify it as a balanced-to-soft market where sellers need to price carefully and present homes in strong condition. But the sharper ...
The U.S. rental market built aggressively during the pandemic era, particularly in Sunbelt cities like Nashville, Austin, and Dallas. Now much of that new inventory, especially high-end apartments, is sitting partially empty, competing for renters whose budgets have tightened considerably since construction began. The disconnect is straightforward: developers built expensive Class A apartments in markets ...
In most American markets, holding a property for ten or twelve years builds a cushion of equity. In Manhattan, that assumption no longer holds across large segments of the market, according to Nikolay Afanasyev, Founder & CEO of CITY SPHERE Property Group, a boutique brokerage covering Manhattan and parts of Brooklyn. Rising building carrying costs, ...
For buyers waiting on the largest purchase of their lives, the appraisal process is one of the last black boxes in a home purchase. Turnaround time isn’t a single number; it’s the sum of scheduling, inspection, report production, quality review, and any revision cycles that follow, and thin appraiser panels and uncontrolled revision cycles are ...
