Bella Vista continues to stand out as one of Northwest Arkansas’ most stable and quietly powerful micromarkets.
When comparing 2025 to 2024, the numbers tell a clear story: pricing strengthened, absorption accelerated, and sellers maintained negotiation leverage across most property categories. Residential dollar volume climbed nearly $30 million year-over-year while homes sold faster and held strong close-to-list ratios. Residential lots saw fewer transactions but higher overall volume, signaling price increases and stronger demand for buildable opportunities. Even with slight contractions in certain segments, overall market efficiency improved.
This isn’t just appreciation, it’s structured, data-backed strength.
Inside the full report, we break down:
• Median price growth and price-per-square-foot movement
• Absorption speed across houses, residential lots, and townhomes
• Close-to-original price trends and seller leverage
• What these shifts signal for buyers, builders, and investors moving into 2026
If you want clarity on where Bella Vista is gaining momentum, and where opportunity still exists. READ MORE BELOW.

Leadership in Action: Take Action
There’s a difference between holding yourself accountable and holding yourself hostage.
High-performing leaders are often their own toughest critics.
We replay conversations.
We analyze decisions.
We refine strategies.
We ask, “Was that good enough?”
But sometimes the very standard that built your success… starts slowing your momentum.
Perfectionism can disguise itself as preparation.
Overthinking can disguise itself as wisdom.
Self-criticism can disguise itself as growth.
And in reality? It’s the fear of getting it wrong.
Leadership requires courage in motion.
You will not always have:
• Perfect timing
• Perfect clarity
• Perfect conditions
• Perfect execution
What you can have is conviction.
Sometimes growth looks like refining.
Sometimes growth looks like restraint.
And sometimes growth looks like jumping before you feel fully ready.
If you’ve prepared, if your intentions are aligned, if your character is intact,
go for it.
Adjust as you go.
Learn as you go.
Lead as you go.
The world doesn’t need perfect leaders.
It needs decisive ones.
