Highfill Sees Inventory Climb as Buyer’s Market Takes Hold

October 14, 2026 · James

Benton County's Highfill submarket recorded a sharp rise in active listings and months of supply through the first three quarters of 2026, even as the handful of completed sales closed quickly and near asking price.

Price Trends

The median sale price in Highfill came in at $299,900, with an average sale price of $308,300, up 6.7% from the median sale price recorded in the prior comparison period. Median price per square foot was $211.76, an increase of 18.4% over that same prior period. Homes that sold did so at a median of 100% of list price, indicating little negotiation gap on the transactions that closed.

Pace of Sales

The average days on market was 12.33, a notable drop of 81.7% from the prior period's average of 67.25 days, with a median of 8 days offering supporting context. Sell-through was 18.8% and the absorption rate was 3.42%, figures based on a small number of closed sales (three) during the period, so they should be read as an early directional signal rather than a firm trend.

Inventory & Supply

Active listings stood at 11, up sharply from 2 in the prior period, a 450% increase, while new listings rose 128.6% to 16. Months of supply reached 29.3, up from 1.3 previously, a shift that the underlying data labels a buyer's market condition given the volume of available inventory relative to the pace of sales.

Property Type & Construction

All three recorded sales in Highfill were single-family houses, with a median sale price of $299,900 and an average of 12.33 days on market. New construction accounted for 66.7% of new listings in the area and represented 100% of the listing share tracked in this dataset, pointing to an active pipeline of newly built homes entering the market.
