A two-story traditional craftsman-style house with a brick lower level and shake-style gable siding, a covered front porch with stone-based columns, and a fresh green lawn.

Mississippi is one of the more affordable states in the country - a Bureau of Economic Analysis regional price index of 87.0 against the 100 national average, about 13% lower overall - which is exactly what the starting home price below is adjusted for, instead of a flat national default.

Mississippi taxes income at a flat rate around 4.4%.

That makes it the 50th most expensive state in the country by this measure, out of 51 - worth knowing before assuming a national-average mortgage payment applies here.
