Raymond, MS Housing Market Update: Inventory, Pricing, and Rates
Raymond, MS – March 2, 2026 – Inventory remains limited with about 31 listings; mortgage rates dipped below 6%, shaping spring demand in Raymond.
Mortgage rates eased slightly heading into spring, and in a smaller market like Raymond, MS, even modest shifts in rates and inventory can change how quickly the best homes get attention. With a relatively small pool of active listings, buyers and sellers may feel the impact of pricing decisions more immediately than in larger metros.
Top takeaways (rates + listings)
- Rates: Freddie Mac’s weekly average for a 30-year fixed mortgage was 5.98% (as of 02/26/2026). That’s still elevated versus pre-2022 norms, but the “under 6%” threshold can matter for affordability and buyer confidence.
- Inventory: Realtor.com’s market page shows 31 homes for sale, reinforcing that selection is limited.
- Pricing benchmarks: The same Realtor.com snapshot lists a median home sale price around $348K and pricing around $136 per square foot as a rough reference point.
- Time to sell: Homes are taking time to move, with median days on market at 116 days.
Market snapshot
Realtor.com’s recent data also points to a modest year-over-year change in pricing, with the median sale price listed as down 2.66%. Rental options appear especially thin, with 1 active rental listing shown in the market view. In practice, a tight rental selection can push some households toward buying, while a slower median pace of sales can give buyers more time to compare options and negotiate based on condition and pricing.
Most local searches point to ZIP 39154. If the current set of listings feels too limited, widening filters to nearby communities may help increase selection without waiting for new inventory to hit the market.
What’s for sale right now
Zillow’s current results page is small, but it highlights a range of offerings: entry-level homes around the mid-$100Ks, move-in-ready 3-bedroom homes around the high-$200Ks, and land offerings (including a 10+ acre tract) around the mid-$400Ks. With fewer choices on the market, the best-maintained listings can stand out quickly, while homes needing work or priced aggressively may spend longer competing for attention.
