    What These Numbers Mean for Hattiesburg Buyers and Sellers

    The Housing Market Trends module above shows a Hattiesburg market where the median sale price sits at $219,755, a +9.3% move year over year, with homes measured at $122.82 per square foot. Reading the competitive indicators together tells a more useful story than any single figure. With 3.6 months of supply and 117 active listings against 34 homes sold monthly, the market leans toward balance rather than urgency. Only 0% of homes sold above list, while 41.5% of listings recorded a price cut, a combination that hands measurable negotiating room to buyers.

    For a buyer, this data supports patience and discipline. When more than a third of listings see a price reduction and the average sale closes at 97.18% of list, offering below asking on properties that have lingered past the 27-day median is a defensible strategy. That said, 30.9% of homes leave the market within two weeks, so well-priced, move-in-ready listings still move quickly and warrant a firmer opening bid.

    For a seller, the message is precision at the outset. The gap between 134 new listings and 126 pending sales each month signals real absorption, but the high price-drop share shows that overpricing leads to a reset and a longer wait. Pricing to the comparable data from the start protects the sale-to-list ratio. Across 371 licensed agents in the area, the difference between guessing and analyzing is where an experienced agent earns their keep.

    +0.26%
    What this shift means: Prices moved +9.3% year over year while the median time to sell shifted a +6 days change in market time and the sale-to-list ratio registered a +0.26% change to reach 97.18%. For buyers, a longer typical marketing window paired with firm pricing means there is time to evaluate without the frenzy of a peak market. For sellers, the same combination confirms that homes are still trading close to asking when priced correctly, but the extended timeline rewards preparation over speculation.

    Year-over-year data reflects the most recent rolling period from Hattiesburg MLS records. Prior year values calculated from current figures and published YoY changes.

    What to Look for in a Hattiesburg Realtor

    Choosing an agent on name recognition alone overlooks what actually determines outcomes: transaction volume, pricing accuracy, and negotiation results backed by verified data. EffectiveAgents analyzed 320 transactions across Hattiesburg to rank 38 agents from a pool of 371 licensed professionals. The top-ranked agent, Nora Broom at Ken Broom & The Home Selling Team, has closed a documented 335 transactions, a track record that matters when the market shows 41.5% of listings taking price cuts and an average close at 97.18% of list. In neighborhoods like North Main Historic, The Oaks, and Kamper-Avenues, where historic character and lot variation make comparable analysis harder, an agent who prices from real closing data protects your sale-to-list ratio and shortens time on market. Note that review counts and volume tell different stories: a high transaction count reflects sustained activity, while review patterns reflect client communication. Weigh both, and treat a thin review history as a prompt to ask for references rather than a disqualifier.

    How We Rank Hattiesburg Real Estate Agents

    Our rankings are built from verified MLS transaction data, not advertising spend. For every agent we analyze more than fifteen performance signals, including sales volume in your city and zip code, recent and all-time transactions, days on market, negotiation results (how far above or below list price an agent's clients actually close), price-point fit, and verified reviews. The agents shown first are those whose verified results put them at the top of the Hattiesburg market today.

    Agents cannot pay for placement in these rankings. The underlying data refreshes as new closed transactions are reported, so rankings shift with real market performance. Learn how we rank agents.

    Hattiesburg Real Estate Agent FAQs

    Who is the best real estate agent in Hattiesburg, MS?

    The top-ranked agent in Hattiesburg, MS by verified transaction data is Nora Broom at Ken Broom & The Home Selling Team, with 335 closed transactions. EffectiveAgents does not rank on advertising or self-reported claims. We analyzed 320 transactions and evaluated 371 licensed agents on measured outcomes like sale-to-list ratio, days on market, and closing volume to identify 38 standout performers. The best agent for you depends on your neighborhood, price point, and timeline, so we recommend comparing several ranked profiles before deciding.

    How were these Hattiesburg real estate agents ranked?

    Rankings are built from verified MLS transaction data. We analyze more than fifteen performance signals for every agent, including sales volume in your city and zip code, recent and all-time transactions, days on market, negotiation results, price-point fit, and verified reviews. Agents cannot pay for placement.

    How many real estate agents are in Hattiesburg?

    Our data covers 371 real estate agents serving the Hattiesburg area. The count represents agents with transaction activity recorded in our Hattiesburg market data, not simply everyone holding a license.

    What does the median sale price in Hattiesburg mean for sellers?

    Hattiesburg's median sale price is $219,755 as of August 2026. Half of recent sales closed above that figure and half below. It is a useful baseline for understanding the market, but an experienced local agent will price your home against comparable recent sales in your neighborhood, not the citywide median.

    How long does it take to sell a house in Hattiesburg?

    The median home in Hattiesburg sells in about 27 days, though that figure reflects a +6 days change in market time compared with last year. Your actual timeline depends heavily on pricing and condition: with 30.9% of homes going under contract within two weeks, well-priced and move-in-ready listings sell fast, while overpriced properties often join the 41.5% of listings that take a reduction. Location within the market, seasonality, and financing conditions at 7.03% all factor in. Pricing to comparable data from day one is the most reliable way to sell near the 27-day median.

    Does it cost anything to use EffectiveAgents?

    No. EffectiveAgents is free for home buyers and sellers, with no obligation to work with any agent we match you with.

    Do agents pay to be ranked or featured?

    No. Agents cannot pay for placement anywhere in these rankings. Positions are earned from verified transaction performance only.

    What commission do Hattiesburg realtors charge?

    Commissions are negotiable and vary by agent, service level, and transaction. There is no set rate, and recent industry changes have made commission structures more flexible than ever. Discuss the structure directly with your agent before signing a listing or buyer agreement.

    Should I use a local Hattiesburg agent or a national brand?

    The individual agent matters more than the brand on the sign. Offices within the same national franchise vary widely in performance, and the agent you hire, not the logo, prices your home, negotiates your contract, and manages your closing. A strong local agent brings firsthand knowledge of Hattiesburg neighborhoods, pricing patterns, and buyer activity. Compare agents on verified local results such as recent sales, days on market, and negotiation outcomes rather than name recognition.

    What questions should I ask a Hattiesburg realtor before hiring them?

    Ask how many homes they have closed in Hattiesburg in the past year, what their average sale-to-list ratio is, and how much of their business is in your neighborhood and price range. Ask how they will market your home or find you listings, and how often they will communicate. Strong agents answer with specifics. Verified transaction data is the fastest way to confirm what you hear.
