Year over year, Baxter County shows solid price growth, with the typical home value up roughly 31 percent. Homes sold have climbed more than 37 percent from last year, and pending sales are up nearly 36 percent, signaling stronger demand. At the same time, new listings are down about 17 percent, so more buyers are competing over fewer fresh options.
In the latest monthly snapshot for September 2026, the typical home value is about $262,000, while the median list price is slightly higher at roughly $271,000. Inventory sits at 397 active listings, with 4.1 months of supply that points to a neutral market balance between buyers and sellers.
Market pace has eased somewhat, with a median of 70 days on market, down modestly from a year ago but unchanged from August. Only about 15 percent of homes are selling above list price, yet the average sale-to-list ratio has edged up year over year to a little over 96 percent, suggesting sellers are still achieving close to asking. Compared with Arkansas overall, Baxter County’s typical sale price sits somewhat below the statewide figure, even as local inventory is leaner than the state’s 5.3 months of supply.
