Pearl, MS Housing Market 2026: What Homes Actually Sell For

If you invest in or around Pearl, the number that matters is what homes actually close for, not what sellers are asking. Here is what Pearl sale prices look like right now, built from the closings Resideline tracked over the last six months, as of October 2026.

The snapshot

  • •Closings tracked, last 6 months: 223
  • •Median sold price, last 6 months: $255,000
  • •Median sold $/sqft, last 6 months: $161
  • •Middle half of sales closed between: $186,000 and $305,999
One thing to know about Mississippi data: Mississippi is a non-disclosure state, which means sale prices are not public record. The sold figures above come from closings Resideline tracked directly.

What the numbers say

Resideline tracked 223 closed sales in Pearl over the last six months, with a median closing price of $255,000. 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 $186,000 and $305,999. 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. 98% of the Pearl 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 223 closings with usable living area, the middle half sold between $143 and $171 per square foot.

Medians hide the shape of a market. The distribution above covers the closed sales Resideline tracked in Pearl over the last six months that carry a usable sale date, trimmed to the 5th through 95th percentile, with the middle half of sales closing between $186,000 and $305,999. Among the 15 Mississippi markets with a published band, Pearl's middle-half spread ($186,000 to $305,999) ranks 7th from the narrowest. Where your target property sits inside that spread matters more than the citywide median. Measured as the ratio of the upper to the lower quartile, its middle-half spread ranks in the 46th percentile of the 2,230 US markets in Resideline's national Market Watch set, on data as of October 3, 2026.

How long a sale takes here

  • •Listed to under contract: a median of 24 days, across 195 Pearl closings Resideline tracked in the last six months
  • •Contract to closing: a median of 33 days, across 193 Pearl closings Resideline tracked in the last six months
Both are measured from the closings themselves, not from listing inventory. Each sale is timed using its own listing and contract dates. That is why these counts are smaller than the 223 closings above: a sale is counted here only when we hold both of its dates.

The Pearl angle

Across 223 closings Resideline tracked over the last six months, the median closed sale price was $255,000, and the middle half of sales closed between $186,000 and $305,999. The count of tracked closings, though, sits in the bottom tenth of the markets we track, so filters are expensive: one property type filter and a size range will often be all you can afford. Lean on the tightness of the band to make up the difference, and verify the subject is an ordinary example before you rely on it.

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, rehab cost estimator, BRRRR 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 Pearl address through Resideline and you will see the local market and the property's value together, in one report.
