Nine months into 2026, Bella Vista's housing market shows rising inventory and slightly slower sales pace alongside stable pricing.
Price Trends
The median sale price in Bella Vista reached $377,350 for the period, up 0.6% from the prior stretch, while the average sale price stood at $414,248.59. Median list price came in at $389,900, and homes are selling at a median of 100% of list price, indicating limited negotiation room on typical transactions. Price per square foot held essentially flat at $218.56, suggesting per-unit values have not moved meaningfully.
Pace of Sales
Homes in Bella Vista spent an average of 54.24 days on market, up from 48.97 days in the previous period, a 10.8% increase that points to a gradual cooling in sales speed. The median days-on-market figure of 30.5 days shows that a large share of homes still sell quickly, with the higher average reflecting some slower-moving listings pulling the number up. Sell-through was 66.8% and the absorption rate registered 19.12%, both consistent with a market that is neither rushed nor sluggish overall.
Inventory & Supply
Active listings climbed to 646, a 28.4% increase from the prior period's 503, while new listings rose 9.5% to 1,475. Months of supply increased to 5.2 from 4.2, a 23.8% rise, and the market is formally classified as a Balanced Market. Pending activity also increased substantially compared to the prior period, though the base comparison figure was very low, so that percentage swing should be read with some caution.
Property Type & Price Range Highlights
Homes priced under $300,000 moved fastest, averaging 37.48 days on market with just 2.8 months of supply, while the $700,000–$800,000 range saw the slowest pace at 78.4 days and 6.8 months of supply. Single-family houses accounted for the bulk of activity, with 945 of 986 total sales and a median price of $382,000. Townhouses carried more supply relative to demand, at 8.2 months, alongside a lower median price of $275,000.
