Waterfront homes and lots for sale in Biloxi & Gulfport MS have been slow to sell over the past 12 months. In fact, only 7 waterfront homes were recorded as closed from March 10, 2009 to March 10, 2010 in these two cities. In the previous year, 2008-2009, 24 homes were recorded as closed.

Prices on waterfront properties for sale have fallen considerably over the past year making real estate’s most appreciable properties more appealing now than ever before in Gulfport, Biloxi, & Ocean Springs. Great waterfront homes can be found in other coastal cities as well. Waterfront lot prices are also incredibly low and builders are offering lower build-out prices then you’d dare to expect.

Waterfront lots for sale have been especially hard hit as the effects of Hurricane Katrina appear to have stigmatized the market. In Gulfport and Biloxi there have only been 5 waterfront lots for sale recorded as closed over the past 12 month through the Multiple Listing Service, MLS. The Bay St. Louis and Pass Christian waterfront lot markets have been much busier, recording 28 waterfront lots for sale closed. Prices currently start around $10,000 in some areas.

There are many great deals to be had in key locations. The great thing about waterfront from an investment standpoint is the limited supply. Currently waterfront lots can be found for sale at the same prices as reproducible, land-locked, lots….As mentioned above…Some even for less!

We currently have a waterfront lot listed at the mouth of the Jourdan River in Bay St. Louis, MS for $55,000. This is a double lot with a grandfathered-in boat-house. This makes it one of few. It has 88 ft of canal frontage, sits only a couple hundred yards from wide open water, and has great access to the river, bay, and gulf. Located nearby to the Hollywood Casino and The Bridge’s Golf Course it’s a tremendous value in an area that is coming back better than ever before! On the other side of the bay in Pass Christian, MS we have a smaller lot, 50X100, priced at $20,000. This lot is raw land with no bulkhead, but would be a great place to build a nice camp or vacation home. It’s not a far boat ride from great fishing and wide open water! Approximately 5 minutes to the east side of the bay!

In Gulfport we recently came across a beautiful 3,400 square foot waterfront home for sale on an acre of land in a very desirable subdivision priced at $440,000. It has beautiful features inside and out including a 4 car garage, boat house & dock, theater, huge deck, and luxurious interior amenities. Everything you’d expect in a million dollar home can be found here for under half the price! Finding a house and lot of this size in a premier area at this price is almost like taking a trip back through time!

The Mississippi Coast Real Estate market has not seen the drastic declines that many other areas have over the past couple of years. While pace has been slower than it has in previous years, much of this can be attributed to stronger lending requirements.

Over the past year, we have seen more home sales slip through because of what used to be minor issues but now the banks simply do not budge on their requirements. Even with these issues, we have seen a steady stream of home buyers who have contacted us to assist in buying a home and we continue to work with them daily. Over the past few months, we have continuously seen more requests for information through this website and our other sites and have noticed that more of these contacts are ready to start looking for their new home where many of the requests several months ago were more “information gathering”.

We leave this site open and report as much data as possible on our area and the housing market and leave all doors open to our readers to gather as much information from this site as possible. We are available for questions or to assist you in your home search when you are ready and will have as little or as much contact with you as you want. Make no mistake – the Mississippi Coast Housing Market is moving and we are here to assist you in your needs. Check out our Buyer’s Page or Contact Us for more information on general real estate inquiries or when you are ready to put us to work for you!

Here in south MS privacy is a valued amenity. Private homes for sale with acreage in a rural setting are a popular choice for 2nd time buyers who are upgrading with a growing family. Many “empty-nesters” are also known to look for a way to get out of the hustle and bustle of town, but few want to be too far from the amenities like those found in Gulfport, Biloxi, D’Iberville & Ocean Springs, MS.

Here on the MS Coast insurance rates have risen considerably since Hurricane Katrina struck the area in 2005. However, insurance costs have decreased for some in recent months, especially for newer properties. Homes for sale north of Interstate 10 in more rural areas have not seen a dramatic rise in insurance costs as they are not impacted as much by a storm’s winds. This has helped spur quite a bit of growth in the rural and private setting homes for sale market further north from the MS Coast.

In Pass Christian, MS, just north of I-10, we recently came across a lovely rural estate on acreage for sale. This home sits approximately 2 miles from Interstate 10 and is set in the back of a slightly rolling 5 acre parcel. This rural and private home for sale is only 12 years old has many stunning interior features, but there is much more included with this private property beyond the featured all brick home. This home and property is set up almost as a compound, with a huge 1200 sq ft shop and an additional 830 sq ft guest house overlooking an in-ground swimming pool. The shop and guest house are both heated and cooled and each have their own full bath. The shop has a roll-down door and enough space for just about anything dad wants to play with while the guest house house has it’s own laundry, full kitchen, 2 car carport, and is handicap accessible.

The 2,700 square foot main house boasts all the features you’d expect in an upscale home for sale and then some. It was custom designed by its current owners and all rooms, including bathrooms, are over-sized. The interior features include granite, hardwood, tile, skylights, soaring ceilings, wet bar, separate tub & shower in master, his & her closets, 2 car garage, loft, fireplace, and much more! Huge windows allow lots of natural light throughout the living areas giving this rural home for sale on acreage a sense of warmth & spirit! The huge back patio and pool beneath mature palm trees will surely provide your senses with the feeling that you own your own private oasis!

The seller’s of this private setting and home for sale in the rural area of Pass Christian understand that in today’s buyer’s market they had to price their home below the competition to sell. While other comparable homes for sale start in the mid $400,000 range, this rural private estate is listed to sell at $385,000! It’s only a couple miles from “The Oaks” golf course in Pass Christian, a very nice course here in south MS.
