by Randy Richardson

By Randy Richardson, Broker Associate, The 4th Right Team

Quick Answer: Home prices on the Mississippi Gulf Coast range from about $141,000 in Pascagoula to about $304,000 in Pass Christian, based on Zillow's typical home value as of September 30, 2026. Pascagoula is the most affordable city on the Coast, with Moss Point close behind. Pass Christian, Vancleave, and Ocean Springs sit at the top of the range. Prices rose in 12 of 16 Coast cities over the past year, and no city fell more than 1.5%.

Which Mississippi Gulf Coast Cities Have the Lowest Home Prices?

Pascagoula is the most affordable city on the Coast. Its typical home value was $141,279 as of September 2026, down 0.8% from a year earlier.

Moss Point is close behind at $149,393, flat for the year. Wiggins comes in at $177,272, and Gautier sits at $191,182.

Wiggins posted the biggest gain on the Coast at 6.3%. It's also a small market. Redfin counted just seven home sales there in September. When that few homes sell, the numbers can swing hard month to month. Price off comparable acreage and square footage, not a single monthly figure.

A lower price doesn't always mean a lower payment. On the Coast, insurance can move the payment as much as the price does. Look at how much insurance costs for the exact address before you fall for a number.

What Does a Home Cost in Gulfport, Biloxi, and D'Iberville?

Gulfport has a typical home value of $206,122, up 2.2% from a year ago. It's also the busiest market on the Coast. Redfin counted 265 sales there in September, so its numbers are steadier than most.

Biloxi comes in at $241,021, up 3.2%. D'Iberville is close at $233,787, up 3.3%. Both rose a little faster than Gulfport this year.

North of I-10, Saucier's typical value is $246,830, up 5.2%. Saucier sells far fewer homes than Gulfport or Biloxi, so treat that gain with care. Acreage and lot size drive value there more than any average does.

If you're weighing the two biggest cities against each other, our earlier look at the Gulfport vs Biloxi price picture goes deeper.

What Does a Home Cost in Long Beach and Pass Christian?

Long Beach has a typical home value of $239,781, up 1.2% for the year. It sits right in the middle of the Coast's price range.

Pass Christian has the highest typical value on the Coast at $303,761, up 2.4%. It's also a thin market, so monthly numbers can jump around. Price off homes with similar square footage and lot size, not a headline figure.

A big share of what sells in Pass Christian is near the water. Waterfront homes price on their own scale, so a beachfront sale and a home three streets back aren't the same comparison.

What Does a Home Cost in Ocean Springs and Vancleave?

Ocean Springs has a typical home value of $273,211, up just 0.5%. Prices there have basically held flat for a year. For buyers, that means less pressure to rush. For sellers, it means pricing has to be on target.

Vancleave comes in at $283,681, up 3.4%. That's one of the highest values on the Coast, and much of it comes from larger lots and newer homes. Redfin counted only 10 sales there in September, so monthly numbers swing. Compare acreage and square footage before you trust any single figure.

What Does a Home Cost in Hancock County?

Bay St. Louis has a typical home value of $239,667, down 1.3% from a year ago. That's the biggest dip on the Coast, and it's still small. Homes there are also taking longer to sell. Redfin put the median at 91 days in September, almost double Gulfport's 47.

Diamondhead sits at $249,101, up 0.5%. Waveland comes in at $220,496, up 1.5%, and Kiln is at $232,948, up 4.6%.

Waveland and Kiln are both thin markets. A handful of sales can push their numbers up or down in any given month. If you're buying or selling there, price off comparable acreage and square footage instead of a monthly median.

Where Are Gulf Coast Home Prices Rising Fastest?

The biggest gains came from smaller inland markets. Wiggins rose 6.3%, Saucier 5.2%, and Kiln 4.6%. Buyers looking for more land at a lower price have been pushing north of the beach.

Three cities dipped slightly. Bay St. Louis fell 1.3%, Gautier 0.9%, and Pascagoula 0.8%. Moss Point held flat. None of those moves look like a crash. They look like a market that's leveling off after several strong years.

The big picture is steady. Most Coast cities gained between 0.5% and 3.5% over the past year. That's slower growth, not falling prices.

The Bottom Line

There's no single Gulf Coast price. A buyer can find a typical home under $150,000 in Pascagoula or pay twice that in Pass Christian, and both are fair prices for what they are. The city sets the range, but the street, the lot, and the insurance quote set the real number. For neighborhood-level data, check our market snapshot.
