Watching the national housing inventory shift always gives me perspective on our own Biloxi market. By mid-Q3 2026, there were 1.14 million active listings across the US—a small year-over-year increase of about 4% from 1.1 million. That’s a much slower pace than last year’s surge, which clocked in at around 21%. We saw growth pick up from a low point of just 2% in late Q2, but the market has clearly cooled compared to the recent past.
Eighteen states and Washington, DC, have now surpassed their pre-pandemic inventory levels from 2019. Yet, on the national level, supply is still lagging—about 8% below mid-Q3 2019, with 1.14 million active listings versus 1.24 million back then. So, while some areas are rebuilding, the country as a whole hasn’t fully caught up.
For buyers and sellers here in Biloxi, this softer market—with prices staying mostly flat and higher mortgage rates in play—means patience and timing are more important than ever. After 23 years in local real estate, I know how every shift in supply and demand can shape your decisions. I’m here to help you make sense of it all, whether you’re searching for a new home, an investment, or getting ready to list.
