Costly cribs: Check out these 10 most expensive Central Mississippi homes sold in 2023
The Central Mississippi real estate market stayed hot in 2023, and some massive home sales made it even hotter.
The Central Mississippi market, which consists of Rankin, Holmes, Madison, Hinds and Simpson counties, continued to grow as average home sales were up year over year.
That means the average home brought a heftier return to sellers in the area, but this story does not deal with the average homes.
Here's a look at the 10 most expensive Central Mississippi residential real estate sales in 2023, all of which were in Madison County.
It is important to note that Mississippi is a non-disclosure state, which means that the sales price of homes is not not public record. For that reason, the following are the asking prices of the homes. According to Real Estate agents, a few went for a little more and most for less, but none by substantial amounts less.
