Centerton saw a healthy increase in sales this March, with activity up nearly 30% from February.

Notably, over a third of Centerton’s March sales were new construction, reaffirming demand for fresh inventory and modern floorplans among today’s buyers.

Months of Inventory

Months of inventory is a key metric calculated by dividing the number of active listings by the number of homes sold. It helps determine who holds the advantage:

• Seller’s Market: 0-3.99 months (favors sellers)

  • Bella Vista, Centerton (Non-New Builds)

• Neutral Market: 4-6 months (balanced)

  • Centerton (New Builds), Bentonville, Rogers, Siloam Springs

  • Benton County, Washington County, NWA as a whole

• Buyer’s Market: 6+ months (favors buyers)

  • Springdale

• Notable shifts since February:

  • Centerton Non-New Builds moved towards a sellers market

  • Siloam Springs decreased inventory shifting towards a more neutral market

Centerton remains in neutral territory overall, but with some important nuances. While inventory for new construction homes places the city firmly in the balanced market category, existing homes have dipped into seller’s market range—offering an advantage to homeowners who are listing well-staged, competitively priced properties. These shifts suggest opportunity on both sides of the table, depending on the type of home involved.

What’s the Takeaway?

Centerton’s market is showing healthy, measured growth. While sales activity picked up in March, prices have stayed relatively stable—providing consistency in a fast-moving regional market. Inventory remains balanced overall, but with key differences between new and existing homes, giving both buyers and sellers strategic opportunities depending on their goals.
