Montgomery County currently leans toward buyers, with the market gauge signaling a buyer’s market. Months of supply sits at 9.3, much higher than Arkansas overall at 5.3 months, meaning inventory is relatively deep. Active listings have also climbed nearly 10 percent over the past year, giving shoppers more options.
At the same time, pricing shows mixed signals for both sides. Typical home values are down almost 10 percent year over year, yet the median list price has inched up compared with last year, suggesting some sellers are still testing higher price points even as values soften. Homes are spending a median of 37 days on the market, a notable improvement from a year ago, and the average sale-to-list ratio has risen to just under 99 percent, indicating that well-priced homes still attract solid offers.
Sales activity tells a story of selective demand. Homes sold have fallen more than 20 percent from last year, while pending sales are up over 30 percent and new listings are up sharply year over year, pointing to buyers being more deliberate but still present. About one-third of recent sales closed above list price, showing that standout properties can generate strong interest even in a buyer-leaning environment.
