🐴 If you're looking for an equestrian property, acreage alone isn't enough. The land needs to work for you and your horses.

That's what makes 12265 S Pleasant Valley Road in Gentry, Arkansas so interesting.

This approximately 30-acre Northwest Arkansas equestrian estate offers established pastures, steel pipe fencing, multiple water sources, an arena, an 8-stall barn, two large shops, and additional outbuildings.

And when you're finished outside, there's a nearly 3,900-square-foot, 4-bedroom home, pool, outdoor kitchen, and plenty of room to entertain.

This isn't simply a luxury home on acreage. The home, land, and equestrian facilities work together.

💲 Offered at $1,800,000

If you—or someone you know—has been searching for a serious horse property in Northwest Arkansas, I'd love to show you around.

Bentonville luxury homes had a median of 42 days on market in this market snapshot. In Rogers, the median was 20 days.

That difference matters if you’re getting ready to sell. Buyers may be moving at different speeds just a short drive apart, and the right list price depends on the homes competing with yours.

In this video, I explain why I look closely at the neighborhood and price range before recommending a pricing strategy. If you’d like to know what the numbers mean for your home, send me a message.

🏡 A builder’s incentive is part of your competition—even if it doesn’t appear in the list price.

Here’s an illustrative example: A Centerton resale priced at $400,000 with a 6.5% interest rate could have a higher monthly principal-and-interest payment than a $420,000 new-construction home offered with a builder’s promotional 4.99% rate.

The new home costs $20,000 more, but its payment could be approximately $250 less per month.

That’s why buyers aren’t comparing prices alone. They’re also weighing monthly payments, closing-cost assistance, upgrades, warranties, and other incentives.

If you’re planning to sell a resale home in Centerton or the 72719 ZIP code, your pricing and concession strategy should account for what nearby builders are offering.

Watch the video, then contact me if you’d like a competitive analysis tailored to your home.

Northwest Arkansas home sales dropped sharply in August—but does that mean the housing market is in trouble?

Benton County recorded 542 closed residential sales, down 21% from July and approximately 8% from August of last year. Washington County recorded 312 sales, down more than 18% from July and approximately 7% year over year.

Some of that decline reflects the normal end of the summer selling season, but the broader market shift is real.

In this week’s NWA Market Monday, I discuss:

Why Benton County is showing more pressure
How Washington County and Fayetteville are performing differently
Why Bentonville sellers should pay attention to longer market times
How builder incentives affect resale homes
Where buyers may have room to negotiate
What higher mortgage rates mean for affordability
Why neighborhood and price range matter more than regional headlines

This is not a housing-market crash. Northwest Arkansas continues to benefit from population growth, corporate relocation and major employers such as Walmart, Tyson Foods and J.B. Hunt.

However, buyers have more choices, and sellers face a narrower margin for error. Accurate pricing, condition and professional presentation matter from the moment a property enters the market.

Watch the video for the complete update. If you’re considering buying or selling in Benton or Washington County, contact me to discuss the conditions affecting your specific neighborhood and price range.

🏡 Thinking About Selling Your Forest Park Home?
Before putting that For Sale sign in the yard, there are 3 things I’d do first:
1️⃣ Know what your home is actually worth based on recent Forest Park sales—not just an online estimate.
2️⃣ Understand your competition, especially when resale homes are competing with new construction and builder incentives.
3️⃣ Get your home market-ready by focusing on the improvements that matter most to today’s buyers.
Forest Park is a little different for me because I don’t just work here—I live here, too. That gives me a firsthand perspective on our neighborhood and the challenges and opportunities Forest Park homeowners face when it’s time to sell.
🎥 Watch the video for my three recommendations.
If you’re curious what your Forest Park home could sell for in today’s market, message me. I’d be happy to put together a neighborhood-specific value and selling strategy—no obligation.

🏡 **Forest Park homeowners — what are buyers actually paying for homes in our neighborhood?**

Recent resale activity gives us a useful range: homes have been **listing around $214–$224 per square foot and selling within that same $214–$224 range.**

That $10 spread can be significant. On a 2,500-square-foot home, it represents about **$25,000 in value.**

But here's the important part: price per square foot alone doesn't determine what your home is worth.

Condition, upgrades, lot, location within Forest Park, and competition from **new construction and builder incentives** can all influence what buyers are willing to pay.

🎥 In this video, I break down what we're seeing and why two seemingly similar Forest Park homes can command different prices.

I’m Jim McDonner with Viridian Real Estate, and I live right here in Forest Park. If you'd like to know where **your home** might fall within that $214–$224 range, send me a message. I'll be happy to take a closer look at your specific property.
