Homes for Sale in Pascagoula, MS

Pascagoula is the most affordable city on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, and it is not close. The median home sold for $177,000 in September 2026, still the lowest of the 13 cities we track. In Pass Christian, ninety minutes west, the same figure was $391,375.

That is more than a 2x spread across a single coastline, and September was the highest month of the past year for Pascagoula. Over the past year its monthly sold median has mostly run between $107,000 and $170,000. For a buyer priced out of Harrison and Hancock counties — and for anyone working at Ingalls — Pascagoula is where the math starts working again.

Seventy-six active listings against 21 sales in September gives 3.6 months of inventory — second-tightest of the 13 cities we track, behind Gautier, and down from about five months in August. Homes that sold averaged 66.0 days on market, close to Gautier (61.6) and Long Beach (60.9).

Over the past twelve months, the median sold price has moved between $102,000 and $177,000. In a market with roughly 9 to 27 sales per month, that range says less about direction than about which houses happened to close. What it does establish is the band: Pascagoula is a market where a great many homes trade under $200,000.

In September the sold median ($177,000) actually came in above the $166,750 asking median, which is unusual. Against a more typical month’s sold median of around $140,000, asking prices run closer to 20% higher. In a low-price market, a gap that size is proportionally large but absolutely small — and it is heavily influenced by a handful of waterfront listings at the top of the range.

Where People Buy in Pascagoula

Pascagoula has a genuinely varied inventory for a city at this price point.

Wiggins Bayou holds the top of the current market — the most expensive active listing in the city sits there, around $700,000, on the water.

Harbor Oaks carries strong pricing near the beach, with active listings approaching $600,000.

Plantation, Longfellow Acres, and Dorothy Clara make up much of the upper-middle inventory, generally in the $320,000 to $400,000 asking range.

Shadow Wood, Delmas Estates, Oaklawn, and Sidione Krebs are the established neighborhoods where much of the everyday market happens — asking prices in the $275,000 to $330,000 range at the top, and considerably less below that.

Because the median sold price typically runs around $140,000, a substantial share of Pascagoula’s transactions occur below the price points that show up in the top of the active list. This is a city where the most representative homes are not the ones that make the listing highlights.

Schools

Pascagoula is served by the Pascagoula–Gautier School District, shared with neighboring Gautier.

Active listings reference four elementary schools — Beach, Eastlawn, Lake, and Cherokee — which is more elementary-level variation than any other city on this list. Attendance zones within Pascagoula genuinely differ, so if schools matter, confirm the assignment for the specific address rather than for the city.

Buying and Selling in the Coast’s Most Affordable Market

If you are buying: the opportunity here is obvious and the caution is equally so. At a median sold price that typically runs around $140,000, Pascagoula offers homeownership at a monthly cost that is out of reach in most of Harrison County. It is also a market where the condition of the individual house varies enormously and where deferred maintenance is common.

Get a real inspection. Not a walkthrough — a full inspection, with a roof and a sewer scope. In a market at this price point, a $12,000 repair is a meaningful fraction of the purchase price, and it is the single most common way buyers here get hurt.

Also: because Pascagoula includes genuine waterfront on the bayou and near the beach, insurance can vary dramatically between two houses a mile apart. Get quotes before you are under contract, not after.

If you are selling: at about 66 days average and 3.6 months of inventory, Pascagoula is a market where correct pricing still produces a timely sale. What it will not tolerate is pricing your home against the waterfront listings that dominate the top of the active list. Those are a different market inside the same zip code.

Condition matters more here, proportionally, than anywhere else on the Coast. A $10,000 investment in the roof or the HVAC before listing frequently returns more than that at closing, because buyers at this price point are financing tightly and cannot absorb surprises.
