Tate County MS Real Estate Market Report - December 2008
by Pam Simpson
Desoto-Tate County Real Estate

Tate County, MS saw 15 residential properties sold in December.  The average sales price was $124,553 and the average days on the market for those sold properties was 220 days (up considerabley from lat month).

Here are the comparisions to last month and December of last year:

November 2008:       14 sold     Avg. $135,271
December 2007:       10 sold     Avg. $121,403

Here is a graph showing where the most sales activity took place in December:

Tate County has 169 Active residential listings.  Using a 3-month average for sales, this means there is currently an 11.8 month supply of inventory on hand.

The prices of those active listings range from a low of $33,900 to a high of $1,234,555.  The median price is $168,900.  The foreclosure market (as a percentage of the overall market) rose slightly in December to 5.3%.

For market comparisons to last month, see the Tate County Nov. 2008 Report. 

Since this is the 2008 year-end report, I have drawn up a chart that shows comparisons for 2007 and 2008 from July through December of both years.  There is one chart for number of units sold and other for average sales price.

The number of units sold flucuated, but remained fairly stable compared to 2007.  Prices in 2008 have not taken a huge hit, but they have no reached the same highs we saw in 2007.
