Hello Brenty,

Below you will find the result of my research for information
regarding the Jackson, MS real estate market. My findings contain the
material requested such as population, home prices, demographics and
local economy. I am providing freely available data because I was not
able to locate a fee based report.



The National Association of REALTORs offers downloadable 10-page
reports for specific markets across the United States.

Home Price Analysis for Jackson, MS 
Market-by-Market Home Price Analysis Reports
October/November 2005

Executive Summary 

?With home prices rising strongly in most parts of the country, there
has been widespread media coverage on the possibility of a housing
market bust. A thorough analysis of the Jackson metro market, as
detailed below, reveals that there is very little danger of this. In
fact, the local housing market is in excellent shape with a potential
for significant housing equity gains, particularly for homebuyers who
plan to remain in their house for the long run.

The local market has very favorable home price-to-income ratio and
even better mortgage servicing cost-to-income ratio. The latter ratio
is currently below the local historical average. It implies no
widespread financial overstretching to purchase a home in the region.
Any respectable gains in the local job market could translate into
substantial home price gains.?
