What the numbers say

Resideline tracked 268 closed sales in Bay Saint Louis over the last 12 months, with a median closing price of $391,500. That median is the midpoint of what buyers actually paid, not what sellers hoped to get, which is why it moves differently from the asking prices you see on listing sites. The middle half of those sales closed between $269,000 and $499,900. That spread matters more than the headline median: where a specific property sits inside it decides whether the citywide number helps you or misleads you. These are the closings Resideline tracks and may differ from complete county or municipal records. 93% of the Bay Saint Louis closings we track here are single-family houses, so these figures primarily reflect that segment, and the citywide $/sqft figure primarily reflects that segment as well. Across the 268 closings with usable living area, the middle half sold between $179 and $334 per square foot.

From market read to offer price

A market read is the backdrop. The decision still comes down to one property and one number: what it is actually worth and what you should pay. Every Resideline report opens with this same market snapshot for the subject's exact ZIP code, then gives you the property's value, the sold comps behind it, and a market rent estimate. Pricing a specific deal? The free ARV calculator and rental property calculator run the numbers in about a minute.

And we show our work. Every estimate is frozen while the home is for sale, so it cannot be revised once the sale price is known. Grading it is a different matter in Mississippi: because sale prices are not public record here, a confirmed closing price reaches us for only a small share of Mississippi homes, and most Mississippi estimates stay frozen and ungraded. The accuracy scoreboard is therefore a national record rather than a Mississippi one. See the live accuracy dashboard for the receipts, or read how the Area Market Snapshot works.

Run any Bay Saint Louis address through Resideline and you will see the local market and the property's value together, in one report.
