Mississippi Cities Among Nation's Most Expensive Home Markets

Stacker’s state-by-state lists of the most expensive homes in Mississippi, New Mexico, New York, North Dakota, and Ohio rely on Zillow’s Home Values Index as of July 2026 to illustrate how prices cluster in particular metros and regions. Across the reports, the typical U.S. home value is cited at about $371,757, with the 30-year mortgage rate around 6.67%, underscoring affordability pressures for buyers. In New York, all 30 cities on the list fall within the New York-Newark-Jersey City metro area, highlighting a single dominant market for high home values. Mississippi’s findings place Memphis within a multi-state metro as the priciest in the state, followed by Jackson and the Gulfport-Biloxi area. Ohio’s top markets include Cleveland-Elyria, with Columbus, Cincinnati, Akron, and Dayton-Kettering also among the most expensive in the state, reflecting regional disparities within a single state. Taken together, the reports show how location, size, age, and condition drive home values even among neighboring markets and across different states.
