That makes it a newer stock than Tate County as a whole (29% built before 1980).¹ On houses from the 1980s and 1990s, polybutylene supply lines, builder-grade windows and first-generation openers are the usual items a contractor confirms before quoting. Owner-occupied homes in Senatobia are newer than rentals: a median build year of 1990 against 1982.¹ With owner-occupied homes skewing newer, many requests are first-time replacements of original builder-grade components.

Within Tate County the median is $209,000, so Senatobia sits close to it.¹ Home values above the state median tend to support fuller scopes; the written scope should still separate must-do from nice-to-have.
