Real estate in Tupelo, MS

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with T.U.P. Realty

If you aren't from Mississippi you make think we are not a very good market to be in. However, we are in a very good market here in Tupelo. Toyota has just announced that they will be building a plant just north of here that will manufacture the Toyota Highlander. We are very excited to have this wonderful company blessing our area with such a huge influx of jobs and money for our economy and our school systems. They will be donating millions to the local school systems. Our school system here in Tupelo is top notch but the money they will be donating will be huge for us. It will allow our schools to offer things that were cost inhibitive before. Now we were doing well here in the Tupelo area before Toyota announced so our real estate market has remained steady. We had lots of out of state folks running in here thinking we were in a depressed market. They thought they were going to get some great deal on investment property. While there are lots of good deals our prices here are comparible to the national average. We invite anyone to invest in our area but understand, we do wear shoes, we are well educated and you won't be able to get something for nothing. Mississippi is not as backward as most of the country thinks we are.

 

Come visit and see how wonderful our community really is.

 

Thanks

Jeff

I live on the Gulf Coast, but I read about the Toyota plant coming up there. I think that is wonderful -- there should be more development in the northern part of the state. I'm sure this is very exciting for you all up there! Good luck, and if you need any help with financing all those new home buyers let me know :)

Hey Jeff,

I work out of Southaven - just a hop, skip and a jump from Tupelo.  I know the market will be greatly impacted because of the upcoming plant.  The mortgage company I work for, along with all it's associates, are a member of MAMB (Mississippi Association of Mortgage Brokers) and I know of at least a few companies in Tupelo that belong to their state and national mortgage broker association.  How's the mortgage company market in your area - the good, the bad, the ugly?  Just curious. 

I grew up in Columbus and went to Northeast Miss. Comm. College.  The times I pass through Tupelo, I always pick up the local home guides looking to see if there was anyone I knew or went to school with.  I've always wanted to get a good Realtor contact in Tupelo, but never ran into anyone that I knew and with me primarily out of Desoto County - it's hard to get down there.

Thanks for promoting MS!!
