What’s good in the Golden Triangle? Experts say housing market
SUMMARY: The real estate market in Columbus, Mississippi, is currently experiencing fluctuations due to rising interest rates and the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Jody Davis, owner of Hometown Realty, noted that increased demand and limited housing supply have driven up prices. However, as interest rates rose, potential sellers became hesitant to list their homes, creating a buyers’ market where buyers can be more selective. The median home price in Mississippi is now approximately $263,000, reflecting a 1.7% increase from the previous year. Davis indicated that desirability in the area significantly influences home prices.

SUMMARY: Harmony Baptist Church in Monroe County, Mississippi, was destroyed by fire last Friday night, leaving caretaker Mary Nell Dorris in shock. She received a panicked call from a neighbor while asleep and rushed to the scene, where she stayed until the early morning. The historic church, built in the mid 1800s and lacking gas or electric power, is suspected to have been intentionally set ablaze. While no injuries were reported, Dorris mourns the loss of cherished memories associated with the church. The Monroe County Sheriff’s Department is investigating and urges anyone with information to come forward.
