I live in Jackson, and you can expect to pay anywhere from $90-$110 / sq ft if you're looking to buy, and that's in the nice areas. There are certainly houses for sale for much less than that, but most of them are in less desirable locations. When I was house shopping, I did find a nice 2,000 sq ft house for $150k, and it was completely renovated and in a good area. I didn't get my financing together quick enough though, and it sold a few days before I could make an offer on it. Those finds are rare, but they do pop up from time to time. I know there is one house in my neighborhood right now that is 3 BR/1.5 bath with a huge deck in the backyard for less than $150k. Its only drawback is it is near a somewhat busy street, but it's still a steal.
