Union County’s housing market is showing more options for shoppers as fall begins. Active listings are up more than forty percent from a year ago, reaching 149 homes in September, and months of supply has nearly doubled to 4.9 months, signaling a clear tilt toward buyers. Even with that additional inventory, homes that do sell are moving a bit faster, with median days on market down from last year to about five weeks.
Prices are reacting to these shifting conditions in notable ways. The typical home value is up around thirty percent year over year, and the median list price has climbed even faster, rising more than fifty percent over the same period, yet the average sale-to-list ratio sits below 100 percent at about 96.8 percent, which suggests buyers often negotiate below asking.
Sales activity looks steady but not overheated, with 24 homes sold in September and a similar number going under contract, even as the share of properties selling above list has dropped sharply from both recent months and last year. Compared with Arkansas overall, Union County offers lower typical sale prices and slightly less inventory relative to demand, while still registering as a buyer’s market on the local gauge. With pricing, pace, and negotiating power all varying by neighborhood and property type, buyers and sellers can both benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding an agent who knows how to navigate today’s Union County conditions.
