Builders are setting the pace and the price for what's to come. With each parcel claimed, undeveloped land becomes more scarce and more valuable, especially for buyers seeking space beyond the typical lot. In 2025, homes on 1 to 20 acres are proving that acreage continues to command a premium. Let’s take an NWALook at just how much more that premium is in Benton and Washington Counties. **Median Sales Price** Year-to-date, homes on 1–20 acres in Benton County are selling at a median price of **$590,500**, while Washington County trails slightly at **$540,000**. That's a sharp increase compared to homes on smaller lots, those under one acre, where median prices sit at **$375,000** in Benton County and **$345,000** in Washington County. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/71/7e/717eecc6-785c-4e79-946a-02d9c57165e9/content/images/2025/06/14.jpg) ### **Niche Market, Distinct Value** Acreage homes make up a smaller share of the market. In Benton County, just **9.6%** of residential sales so far this year have been on 1–20 acre properties (296 out of 3,083 total sales), while **90.4%** were homes on less than one acre. Washington County shows a slightly larger share, with **13.1%** of sales involving acreage properties (229 out of 1,742) and **86.9%** for smaller-lot homes. ### **Price Per Square Foot** While larger homes usually come with a lower cost per square foot, acreage homes buck the trend. In Benton County, these homes average **$300** per square foot, well above the **$227** average for smaller-lot homes. In Washington County, the cost is **$236**, compared to **$215** for smaller lots. The higher price per sqft often reflects the value of the land and not necessarily the home's "upgrades. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/71/7e/717eecc6-785c-4e79-946a-02d9c57165e9/content/images/2025/06/Graphs-NWA-Look--Instagram-Post-.jpg) ### **Selling at a Steady Pace - Days on Market** Despite their higher price tags, acreage homes are selling at a pace similar to their smaller-lot counterparts. Benton County shows a median of **78** days on the market for homes with acreage versus **69** for smaller lots. Washington County follows closely with **68** days for acreage and **71** days for smaller properties. Buyers may be more selective, but they're also ready to act when the right property appears. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/71/7e/717eecc6-785c-4e79-946a-02d9c57165e9/content/images/2025/06/15.jpg) ### **A Coveted Corner of NWA Real Estate** Homes on 1–20 acres appeal to a growing segment of buyers seeking land, privacy, and potential without sacrificing access to jobs, schools, and amenities. Although these properties represent fewer transactions, they reflect a lifestyle that many aspire to: space to grow, room to breathe, and the opportunity to enjoy a more self-sufficient way of living. As Northwest Arkansas grows, expect acreage homes to remain a prized segment of the market, especially those that manage to strike a balance between space and convenience. As Mark Twain once said, "Buy land, they're not making it anymore."

Whether you’re considering launching a new service, expanding your team, or investing in infrastructure, **waiting for perfect conditions can cost you real momentum**. 📉 While you wait, competitors move.
