Cheers to a Fantastic 2018!

The numbers are in for the residential real estate market and we are pleased to report that the total residential sales volume is up 13% year-over-year for Garland County. The housing inventory continues to drop and is down another 8% since last month, while the demand is strong with qualified buyers ready to buy.  With the new year approaching along with the recent tax changes, we’re seeing many different “2018 prediction” reports making it difficult to speculate. However, there’s one thing for sure …. Change can be good and bad; it depends on how you look at it.  We choose “good” and believe that 2018 is going to be a great year for the real estate industry in Arkansas. Below is an overview of this year’s sales compared to this same time period year-over-year.
