SUMMARY: Manager Pete Laven said he could not comment on the decision to some good news for those who are looking to buy a house this year. Many realtors and economists predict 2024 to be the year where we’ll see a rise in housing sales. Realtors say the reason is because of certain things like lower mortgage rates. 4.71 million homes are expected to be sold, which is an increase from last year according to the NAR. One local realtor says this shouldn’t be much of a surprise for South Mississippians. The Mississippi Gulf Coast has always been very low in prices, but now housing prices are in line with the market. If you are looking to purchase your first home, get in contact with a local realtor.

SUMMARY: Following Mississippi’s recent election, there is growing interest in expanding early voting options. Currently, Mississippi is one of only three states that require an excuse for absentee voting. Many voters support early voting, citing convenience for busy schedules and medical conditions. State Senator Jeremy England, who introduced early voting legislation last year, aims to bring it up again. His bill would allow in-person early voting with a valid photo ID, ensuring a secure process and timely results. While absentee ballots are still being counted, early voting could streamline the process and provide quicker election results.
