Looking For Your First Home? Maybe Desoto County Is For You!
Recently, TD Bank surveyed more than 850 millennials (which it categorizes as age 23-38) who are planning to buy their first home in 2020. Of those surveyed, 68% said they think now is the right time to buy a home and 52% are actively searching home listings online.
A big hold up for most first-time homebuyers is the cost of homes in the area. However, Desoto County offers homes at a variety of price points for almost any budget.
Why Choose Desoto County?
Within DeSoto County, there are five main cities, each with their own charm. The five cities that comprise DeSoto County are Hernando, Horn Lake, Southaven, Walls, and Olive Branch. Each of these cities has a vivid history and all of them are only a 15 to 20 minute drive to Memphis. In Memphis there are so many things to do that you will never be bored! From Graceland to museums to nightlife, there is something for everyone to enjoy!
